Every launch signs a list. Ponscan reads it.
Who the creator waved through for free, who paid the opening tax to arrive one second early, and where those same wallets have shown up before.
Read any launch in one call
The roster the creator signed, how much of it actually bought, and the opening histogram second by second — read from one call over the curve, in under a second, for a launch nobody has ever opened.

Every figure hands over its call
verify copies the exact eth_getLogs that produced the card, and it resolves against the public RPC — not against ours.
The Graveyard
98.99% of launches never reach a pool, over a denominator that is stated: 112,080 launches of one factory generation, at one block.
The tax, priced by the second
6.18% at one second, 0.19% at two, nothing after — read from the fee ratio inside the buy event, so no timestamp is needed and no block has to be fetched.
Burned at the gate
The wallets that arrived one second early and paid 99% for it. Rare, permanent, and the only thing on this site that is worth an alert.
Seen in other launches
The same wallet across rosters — the repetition that turns one list into a pattern.
Deployer history
Every launch a deployer has signed, and what happened to each of them.
Shared-roster graph
Which rosters overlap, drawn from the index that already exists.
Handle reuse
The X account on the launch, and how many other launches carry it.
Alerts
A gate burn or a community takeover, pushed the moment the log lands.
$SCAN tiers
Depth and history gated by holding, never the verdict itself.

The signal
pons makes every creator sign the list.
Up to 32 wallets can be exempt from the opening tax, fixed at creation and permanent. The list is public — and missing from the protocol's own catalogue of indexable events.

The opening tax
The tax is quantised by the second.
One second is ten blocks of resolution. Whoever stood in second one paid 6.18% to be there, and nobody pays that by accident.
Measured 2026-08-30 over 1.72M buys. The second is read from the ratio fee ÷ quoteIn inside the buy event — no timestamp is needed.

≈ $573,000 from 113 wallets that arrived one second early, in 27 days
Wallets that buy informed
1,340 of 116,489
1.1% of everyone who has ever bought. Small, permanent, and on no interface today.
The Graveyard
98.99% never reach the pool.
Nobody publishes that denominator, because it needs one: generation D of the launch factory, at a stated block. The rate rises over time, so a rate without a block was true once.

The extension
The card, on the page you already use.
It sits in the launch feed and on the token page. No wallet, no login, nothing to connect.
Anchored, not scraped
The token address comes from the URL, never from the page. When the feed re-renders, the card survives.
Same answer with or without it
The extension and this site render from one engine, so a launch reads identically either way.
Verify, from your machine
Every card hands over the exact call that produced it, resolved against the public RPC — not against ours.
the UI is still being built · the site works without it
Roadmap
Each line goes one layer deeper.
None of them builds a second product. The graph is a query over an index that already exists, and the wheel is a launch.
Now
- The launch card, on any launch
- Declared roster, and who of it bought
- The opening tax and The Graveyard, with their method
- verify — the call that reproduces every figure
Next
- Seen in other launches
- Deployer history and the burn register
- Alerts on a gate burn and on a takeover
- X handle reuse, from the signed metadata
Later
- Shared-roster graph and holder concentration
- The wheel — $SCAN inside pons, fees to the pot
- The call tournament, settled by the chain
- Public API
The verdict is free. You pay for speed and history.
If the label that protects a buyer sat behind a wall, the product would stop empowering the ecosystem and start taxing it.
Free
Labels, the launch card, the histogram, the graveyard, the burn register.
Holder
90 days of history, full roster lists, alerts.
Operator
Roster graph, holder concentration, roster exits, API.
Keeper
A multiplier on the pot.
Held, not subscribed
Tiers read the balance of a connected wallet. No subscription and no payment backend — sell the token and the access leaves with it.
The wheel
$SCAN launches inside pons with buyback enabled, collects creator fees in the protocol’s own escrow, and those fees fund the pot.
Aligned by construction
There is no version of this that earns while pons loses. More confidence in the feed means more volume, and the revenue is that volume.
$SCAN is not live — it is the Later column. Nothing on this page needs a wallet.
