How llm.finance works
A token launch can fund AI inference. This app connects the pons v2 launch contracts on Robinhood Chain to a shared, accountable compute pool.
Launch and trade
Connect a wallet, select a model from the current OpenRouter catalogue, and set your token’s name, symbol, image and description. The app reads the factory’s live fee and supply settings, simulates your transaction, and asks your wallet to sign.
New launches send their 2% creator fee to the configured treasury. The separate curve fee is currently 1%. The launcher does not personally receive those creator fees. An optional initial purchase is included in the launch transaction with 1% slippage protection.
Before graduation, the token page supports buying and selling against its curve. After graduation, open pons and search the token address to trade through its pool. Always identify tokens by address; names and symbols are not unique.
Model backing
The token is created on-chain; its AI model association is registered in this app’s database after confirmation. That association does not grant ownership of, or exclusive access to, the model.
Shared compute
Funding and spending are stored as ledger entries. The available budget equals credited provider funding minus inference costs and active request reservations. A launch grants its wallet access to any currently backed model.
The operator collects pons fees with the keeper script, funds the OpenRouter account, and confirms the USD budget against the successful treasury transaction. ETH collection and provider credit are different steps. The app does not pretend that an ETH receipt automatically purchased provider credit.
New installations begin with a zero budget. The app uses no imported balances or token records from the reference website. View the public compute ledger.
Messages and billing
Messages are public and persist on the server. Do not send secrets or personal information. The app reserves a conservative estimated budget before requesting inference; successful responses are charged using provider-reported cost, or the reported token counts and conservative maximum catalogue prices when cost is unavailable.
If a provider request times out with an uncertain outcome, its reservation stays in place until the operator verifies the actual charge. Concurrent requests cannot reserve the same budget. If the provider reports a charge above the estimate, the full actual charge is recorded and further requests stop when the available budget is exhausted.
API access
Wallets that have launched can create API keys. Keys are stored as SHA-256 hashes and are only shown once. Revocation takes effect on subsequent requests. The OpenAI-compatible route is /api/v1/chat/completions; only text messages and supported token-priced models are accepted, with a maximum of 4,096 output tokens.
Responses include x-compute-charged-micro-usd and x-compute-remaining-micro-usd. One million micro-USD equals one dollar.
Network and contracts
Robinhood Chain ID: 4663. Native currency: ETH.

These v2 addresses are present in the current pons application. Some public documentation describes earlier contract versions. The app always checks live launch economics before submitting a transaction.
Limitations and responsibility
Pons controls the underlying contracts. Its owner can redirect a token’s creator-fee recipient after a three-day timelock. The contracts also include a seven-day recovery path for reserves stranded during graduation. These are protocol trust assumptions; this interface cannot remove them. A closed curve can still be waiting for its liquidity pool to be created.
This is an independent interface, not an official pons product. Tokens can lose value, and transactions can be irreversible. Model availability, chain access and provider service can change. Regional availability and pons’s terms still apply when using pons.
No claims of an independent contract audit or guaranteed returns are made. Your wallet controls transaction approval. The operator controls the treasury and provider funding.
