Shortpad is a launchpad where every new token trades against a heavily shorted stock token instead of ETH. Buys fill the pool with that stock. Holders get paid in it. The more it trades, the more of the shorted name gets pulled onchain.
Non-custodial. Liquidity locks at launch. Not affiliated with Robinhood.
You launch against ETH or a stablecoin. Fees come back as ETH. The token lives or dies on its own attention and nothing you do touches the real world.
You launch against a tokenized stock that short sellers are leaning on. Every buy adds that stock to the pool. Trading fees convert into it and stream to holders. The token becomes a reason to hold the name.
Memes bring the volume. The pair decides where it goes.
No code, no whitelist, no team wallet holding liquidity. The contract does the boring parts so nobody has to trust anyone.
We rank Robinhood Chain stock tokens by short interest as a percentage of float. Only names above the threshold are eligible. That's the whole product decision.
Name, symbol, image, links, a small fee. The token, its bonding curve, and the paired pool deploy in one transaction. Fixed one-billion supply. Snipe protection on the opening seconds.
Once the curve collects enough of the paired stock token, liquidity migrates to Uniswap v4 and locks forever. From then on, a slice of every trade converts to the stock token and streams to holders.
Eligible pairs, ranked from FINRA-reported short interest. Below the line, you can't launch on it.
Snapshot of the live board on October 11, 2026, from FINRA-reported short interest. The line is 15% of float; a name above it becomes launchable once Pons approves it as a pair. See the live board →
Every trade pays a fee. Pons, the launchpad underneath, takes its protocol cut first; the creator payout that's left is split onchain by the Shortpad contract, visible to anyone.
We'd rather you understand the product than get excited about it.
We're opening with a small set of pairs and a small first group of creators so the curve, graduation, and rewards are proven before we scale. Creators in group one launch fee-free for 30 days.
Group one launches fee-free for the first 30 days. Not available to persons in the US, Canada, UK or Switzerland.
We'll email you when the first pairs open.
We don't claim that. Buys move the paired stock token into the pool, which is demand for that token onchain. What the issuer does with that demand, and what the actual stock does, is outside our control and we don't promise anything about it.
A token issued on Robinhood Chain that tracks a US stock. It's issued by a third party, not by Shortpad, and it isn't a share: no voting rights, no direct ownership. Read the issuer's terms before you trade it.
Pons pays each launch's creator fees, in the paired stock token, to a Shortpad contract instead of the creator. Half of that goes to people who stake the launch token, pro-rata to their stake, streamed out over three days so nobody can grab it by staking for a moment. You unstake whenever you like and claim your stock tokens separately. Rewards come from the creator payout after Pons's own protocol fee, not from the whole trade fee.
No. Pons locks the liquidity at launch and permanently after graduation; nobody, including us, can withdraw it. If a creator abandons a token, Shortpad can propose handing the creator's 25% to a new owner. The proposal is public onchain for three days before it can take effect.
Because that's the point. A meme paired with Apple is just a meme. A meme paired with a name that has 38% of its float sold short gives the token a story, gives holders a reward people actually want, and concentrates volume where it's most interesting.
No. We're an independent, non-custodial protocol that deploys on Robinhood Chain. Robinhood doesn't endorse, review, or operate anything here.
