One token trades on a single Solana market, reachable from Solana and Robinhood Chain, with the funded route proven only in local tests today.
Updated 2026-09-13
What Rips does
Rips launches a normal Pump.fun token and lets you trade it from either chain. Solana stays the original market: the Pump.fun curve first, then its PumpSwap pool after graduation.
A Robinhood Chain order triggers a real Solana buy or sell of that token. The Robinhood token is a backed counterpart: one original token stays locked on Solana for every unit outstanding, not a second independent supply.
Launching a token
The launch form collects your token details and SOL amounts. One approval starts tracked setup on both chains. A completed launch does not guarantee an available trading route.
- Your first buy
- What you spend buying your own token at launch. This buy goes to your Solana wallet.
- Robinhood Chain seed
- An optional purchase locking original tokens as backing, separate from the provider capital used to trade and pay sellers.
- What you pay
- Review the actual quote before signing. Purchases, network costs and quoted fees must be explicit. Public pricing is not finalized.
- Your wallet
- You approve the launch with your Solana wallet. The funded provider manages its own capital and never needs your private key.
What happens after you sign
The token page tracks every confirmed setup step.
Closing the tab does not trigger another charge. Check the token page for the existing transaction first.
- Solana launch
- Creates the original Pump.fun token and completes the approved purchases.
- Backed counterpart
- Sets up the matching Robinhood token and its verified lock, issue, burn, release path.
- Trading readiness
- Funds provider balances, enables the route and secures a live quote. An address or pool alone does not prove it can fill orders.
Backing and supply
Moving tokens between chains changes where you use them, not the total supply. One original token stays locked per outstanding Robinhood counterpart; pending transfers are tracked separately.
- Original tokens
- The canonical Pump.fun mint on Solana, traded on the curve or its PumpSwap pool.
- Locked backing
- Held to back outstanding Robinhood units; the provider cannot sell these as free stock.
- Provider inventory
- Separately funded SOL, ETH, unlocked originals and already-backed Robinhood tokens. Reserved or unsettled inventory cannot fund another quote.
Fast delivery draws on already-backed Robinhood tokens. Newly bought Solana tokens replenish that inventory later, once the bridge verifies transfer; fast fills never rely on issuing unbacked tokens.
Trading on each chain
- Solana trader
- Connect a Solana wallet to buy or sell the token for SOL, on Pump.fun or its PumpSwap pool. Normal Solana trading stays open through any supporting tool.
- Robinhood trader
- Connect an EVM wallet on Robinhood Chain. Rips' route takes ETH for buys, pays ETH for sells, and executes the matching trade on Solana.
A 5 ETH buy must execute a real Solana buy, sized from the order's SOL conversion after disclosed costs. A full fill cannot just update a chart or trade a separate Robinhood pool, and any unspent input is returned under the quoted terms.
Solana trades change the market used for later Robinhood quotes; they do not need a mirrored trade on Robinhood Chain.
One-to-one backing does not guarantee matching prices across chains; conversion, fees and slippage still apply.
How Robinhood orders fill
- Buy
- Reserves provider SOL and backed Robinhood tokens, executes the Solana buy against the quoted ETH payment, then delivers the tokens and bridges the acquired originals back to inventory.
- Sell
- Reserves provider ETH and unlocked Solana tokens; receives the customer's Robinhood tokens, executes the Solana sale, pays ETH, then burns the counterpart and releases its backing.
- Before signing
- Review the chain, token, input, minimum received, expiry and fees; a route without capital or a live quote must stop accepting orders.
- After payment
- Track payment, Solana execution, wallet delivery and settlement separately. An uncertain transaction stays pending until checked; a timeout alone never triggers another trade or refund.
- Partial fills
- The local Robinhood route can span graduation into PumpSwap; its minimum covers the first leg. A failed next leg still delivers tokens already bought and refunds the rest. Direct Solana orders spanning graduation still need smaller sizes.
The speed target is a fill within seconds, using prefunded inventory with bridge settlement later; public timing is unmeasured. The route depends on the operator to execute, deliver and refund correctly, and is not an atomic cross-chain swap.
Trading terminals and other pools
This route should work wherever people trade. A terminal like Axiom or GMGN must integrate the Rips quote, wallet authorization, submission and order-status flow. The client is tested locally; no partner integration is live yet.
A purchase through PONS, Uniswap or another independent pool does not execute on Pump.fun; those venues need their own compatible integration. Freely transferable tokens can trade in separate pools that Rips cannot force through its route, leaving universal coverage unresolved.
What works today
Proven in local tests Needed before public trading
- Proven locally
- Real Pump and PumpSwap buys and sells with test funds: a 5 ETH order across graduation, backed delivery, inventory replenishment and partial-fill refunds, all at a fixed rate rather than live ETH-to-SOL conversion.
- Recovery and wallets
- Seven local orders passed through 20 coordinator interruptions. Website flows passed with test wallet adapters on desktop and mobile, and the terminal client passed against the local service. This does not prove every component restarts, or real wallet-extension support.
- Before public trading
- Connect live conversion, fund provider capital, add production signing and settlement controls, enable the public route, test real wallets, measure latency and finish partner integrations; funded public trading stays disabled.
Earlier public testnet and independent-pool transactions prove individual pieces, not the complete funded trading flow on a public network.
Moving tokens between chains
The Move page transfers holdings between chains without a buy or sell: the same amount arrives on the other side, network costs show separately, and availability depends on a configured, verified route.
- To Robinhood
- Locks tokens on Solana, verifies the message, then issues the Robinhood amount.
- To Solana
- Burns the counterpart, verifies the message, then releases the tokens on Solana.
- While pending
- Tracks the receipt until delivery; pending tokens are not spendable, and public timing is unset.
A transfer alone does not execute a trade; keep its delivery status separate from a buy or sell.
Creator rewards
The tested launch splits the Pump creator fee: 80% to the creator, 20% to Rips. This divides the creator fee only, not trade value, and adds no transfer tax.
The Rewards page tracks creator rewards; conversion, execution and network costs sit outside that split, and public fees or extra terms are not finalized.
What a status means
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Waiting for signature | A quote exists and nothing has been sent; you have not signed yet. |
| Submitted | Your launch was submitted; check the token page for confirmation and completed setup steps. |
| Setting up | Rips is completing the Robinhood counterpart, backing and cross-chain connection. |
| Live on both | The launch passed its market checks. This label alone does not enable funded trading; an executable quote must also exist. |
| Waiting for first buyer | No creator-funded Robinhood seed exists; trading still needs funded provider inventory and an enabled route. |
| Failed | A step failed; check its receipt and recovery status before signing again. |
Networks
Check the network and contract address before signing. Token pages show the address after launch.
Robinhood Chain is a blockchain, not a Robinhood brokerage listing.
