What a Pour pool is

A Pour pool is an ordinary Uniswap v4 pool on Robinhood Chain: one coin, one quote asset (ETH or USDG), no hook, and a swap fee of 0.30% (or 1.00% in the wild tier) that goes to the liquidity providers. Pour did not write the pool contract. Uniswap did, and Robinhood deployed it. Pour is the front door and the ledger.

When you pour, you call the Uniswap PositionManager from your own wallet. It mints an ERC-721 position to you. Pour is not a party to that transaction and has no way to touch the position afterwards.

How the fee reaches you

Every swap through a Pour pool pays 0.30% (or 1.00% in the wild tier) into the pool's fee accumulator. Your position tracks its share from the moment it opens. Collect fees sends it to your wallet. Withdraw all sends it along with your liquidity.

Your share is your liquidity over the pool's total liquidity. Pour positions are full range, so every position in a pool earns in the same proportion.

Swaps on Pour fill the Pour pool whenever it can take the size, so that 0.30% is actually paid. You can switch a trade to best price if you want another pool instead.

Opening a pool and the price

If the coin already has a Pour pool for your pair and tier, you join it at its current price. You type one amount and the other is computed; you cannot move the price by depositing.

If no Pour pool exists, your deposit opens it. Pour reads the price the coin trades at elsewhere on Robinhood Chain and opens at that price, so the first arbitrage trade has nothing to take. If the coin trades nowhere, you set the opening price with your two amounts. Get that wrong and the first trader takes the difference. The form tells you which case you are in.

An open pool with no liquidity keeps its last price. If a Pour pool is empty and its price has drifted from the reference, the form warns you before you pour.

What can go wrong

Impermanent loss. A pool sells the coin as it rises and buys it as it falls. If the coin moves a lot in either direction, you end up with less value than if you had just held both sides. Fees are your compensation for that. Whether they cover it depends on volume against volatility, and nobody can promise you the answer.

The coin itself. Pour lists any ERC-20. It does not audit them. A coin with a hidden mint, a tax, or a blacklist is still a coin with a hidden mint, a tax, or a blacklist inside a pool.

Smart contract risk. Uniswap v4 is audited and holds a great deal of value, and Pour adds one small, ownerless registry contract that holds nothing. Still: code is code.

Launching a coin

Launch on Pour deploys a fixed-supply coin, takes a launch fee in ETH, and opens the 0.30% pool with your seed. 80% of supply goes in the pool. You keep the rest.

A share of that seed (5%, 10%, or 20%) is minted to a sink. Pour claims that slice every five minutes and runs the strategy you picked: deepen the pool, buy and burn, or pay the launching wallet. Everyone else's liquidity still earns the 0.30% for them.

Launcher fees from a locked launch pool sit in an escrow. Positions has Claim ETH, and the same claim runs automatically every five minutes. If the hook is still holding fees, Sweep into escrow first.

Locked pools and Pour

Some coins already trade in a locked pool whose LP fee is zero. That pool does not pay people who add liquidity. Pour opens a second, separate pool for the same coin, where the 0.30% goes to whoever filled it.

Swap on Pour fills the Pour pool when it can, so LPs actually get paid. You can switch to best price if another pool quotes more.
