A complaint made in private is easy to ignore. The ticket gets closed, the email gets a template, the thread scrolls away. A callout is different: it names who should act and what they should do, in public, where everyone can see whether they did.

Here, every callout has a market behind it. Someone names the target and the demand, and the moment they press the button it is live: anyone can back it with dollars, anyone can sell.

The price is the signal. A petition costs nothing to sign and nothing to ignore. A price moves only when people put money behind the demand, and everyone can watch it move, including the target.

A callout works only if it travels, so the fees pay the people who spread it. Every trade pays a small fee. The callout’s share of that fee fills a daily pool, and the pool is ranked and paid every day to the people who brought in the backers. Spreading a demand becomes work that is measured and paid.

The person who launches a callout earns nothing from its fees for having launched it. That is deliberate: a callout that pays its author is a shakedown. The creator gets the page. If they put their own money behind it, they hold a position like any backer: bought in public, tagged Creator in the holders list, free to sell, and every trade they make is on the chart. If they spread it, they earn what any spreader earns, by the same rules, tagged Creator in the standings.

The target gets a seat. Every callout page has a place for the company, the institution or the project to answer in public, on the same page the backers are reading. When the answer comes, the page says so.

A callout is a demand, not a verdict. We are a venue, not a judge. We do not verify claims. We do not take sides. We do not decide which demands deserve money; the people who back them do. The publisher is responsible for what they publish.

We hide two kinds of callouts, after the fact: the ones that call out a person instead of a decision, an action or a policy, and the ones that break the law. Everything else stays up, whether we like it or not.

Every split is written into a public contract. Once a callout is live, nobody, including us, can point its money anywhere else. The rules on this page are the rules on the chain, and they are the same for everyone.

Creator

Names who should act and what they should do, and launches the callout in one screen. Gets the page, and no share of any fee for launching it. If they put money behind it, that is their own position in the callout, free to sell like anyone’s. They can also share their own link and earn as a spreader, like anyone.

Backer

Buys the callout in dollars and can sell any time. Their money is what moves the price, and the price is the signal.

Spreader

Shares their link. Everyone who arrives through it is bound to them for life. They earn 25% of the platform fee those people pay, at once, and compete for the callout’s daily pool.

The target

The company, institution or project named in the demand. It answers on X, from its own account: Callout’s team checks once that the account named on the callout is really the target’s, and only a post by that account is shown as its response, word for word as read from X, with a link to the post. The callout is then marked “Response received”. A callout can name up to six targets with one demand: each answers on its own, and the page shows how many have. The market stays open.

Two fees on every trade, and every cent of them has a fixed destination. The trade panel shows the sum as “Fee 1.5%”, or 1.45% with a referrer; every estimate is net of both.

Every callout runs its own contest, every day. A day is a UTC calendar day and closes at 00:00 UTC. The prize is the callout’s daily pool: 70% of the creator side, converted to dollars, plus whatever carried over from earlier days.

Anyone can follow it live. Every callout page has a Spreaders tab: the pool as it will close, the time left, the top twenty with what earned each of them their points, what each would be paid if the day closed now and why somebody would not be, the prize for every rank, and every closed day with its payment transaction.

Your link is /r/ followed by your handle. Sharing a callout adds the callout to it. Put it in your bio; every callout the people you bring trade credits you.

One, for life

Your referrer is recorded on chain exactly once and never changes. It is never yourself.

How it binds

At sign-up with a code, or on your first trade if you arrived through someone’s link. The link sets a 30-day first-touch cookie; once bound, the attribution is for life.

No link? Enter a code

A code is the referrer’s handle, or their link. You are offered the field once, right after you first sign in, and can enter a code later from your cash menu, under the fee on the trade panel or on the Earn page, for as long as your account has no referrer. Once it is bound, it can never be changed.

What you get

A lifetime 10% discount on the platform fee: 0.45% instead of 0.50%.

What your referrer gets

25% of the platform fee on every trade you make, paid in the same transaction, plus points in the daily contest of every callout you trade.

Where it is not offered

Callout is not offered in some places (terms, section 1). An account used from one of them in the last 30 days has no referral link or code, cannot be given one, and is not ranked in the daily contests. A referral already recorded on chain stays: no one can change it.

A callout is quoted in one asset, chosen by its creator at launch from the pairs this site offers; the launch screen lists them. The first are the dollar (USDG), ETH and cbBTC. Only an asset Pons has approved on chain can be a pair, and only one the venue can price against dollars with its own price feed is offered, so others Pons approves, such as TAO or one of Robinhood’s tokenized stocks and ETFs, can be added later.

Whatever the quote, you pay in dollars and you are paid in dollars. The trade panel tells you in one line when your dollars are crossed into the pair asset. The chart is in dollars. Fees arrive at the vault in the pair asset and are converted to dollars when harvested, so pools, prizes and commissions are always dollars.

Your keys, not ours

Sign in with Google or email and a wallet is created for you, owned by you; or connect a wallet you already have. Callout never holds your keys and never holds your money. A vault’s balance exists only inside a single harvest transaction; a pool’s balance can only leave to a published winner.

Bridge guards

Every deposit from and withdrawal to another network is quoted first and refused if the route’s fee is more than $0.50 plus 0.5% of the amount, if a withdrawal’s guaranteed amount is more than $0.50 plus 1% below what you send, if the quote pays out more than it takes in or nothing at all, if the bridge refuses (an amount it will not carry included, with its reason shown) or returns nothing to sign or no deposit address, if the estimated time is over 30 minutes, if a withdrawal is more than your cash, if the network or token is unsupported, or if a withdrawal address does not fit the network. The amount itself is never refused: we set no floor, no cap and no daily total. Sending USDG on Robinhood Chain has no bridge fee and no check on the amount beyond your cash. The bridge’s answer is checked against what was asked: the amount, the token, who gets paid, and for a withdrawal every transaction. You sign at most two: an approval of exactly your amount for Relay’s contract, and a deposit of exactly your amount credited to you. The app checks that list again in your browser before the first signature. A quote is good for a minute: press Withdraw later and it is quoted and checked again, and it goes ahead in the same press only if it still passes and its guaranteed amount is no more than a cent below the one you saw. A deposit address is checked when it is quoted; Relay prices whatever later arrives there. We can pause transfers to and from other networks at once; sending USDG on Robinhood Chain is not affected.

Price protection on every trade

Nobody sets a slippage number here. Each order is simulated against the chain at the moment it is sent, and it carries a minimum: that exact output less a tolerance. The tolerance is one percent plus however far the callout’s price swung in the last minute, never over five percent, or ten in a callout’s first hour. If other people’s trades move the price past it before your order lands, the order is cancelled, nothing is spent, and the panel quotes again. Robinhood Chain has no public mempool and orders first come first served, so nobody can see your order and jump it. When your own order is large for the callout, the panel tells you how far it moves the price before you press.

The creator’s opening buy

A creator who puts money behind their callout buys inside the launch transaction, before anyone else can trade. The tokens go to the creator’s own wallet and are never locked. What keeps it honest is that it is public: the creator’s row in the holders list is tagged, and every buy and sell they make is on the chart.

Links from other people

Evidence, exhibits and a creator’s social accounts are added by users, and we do not check where they go. A click on one opens a notice first, with the real address and the part of it that says whose site it is in bold, and a warning for look-alike letters, link shorteners and any address that carries our name without being callout.family. We never ask you to sign in or connect a wallet on another site.

Find the real token

Anybody can launch a token on Pons with the same name and ticker as a callout. The contract address cannot be copied. Every callout page shows it next to the ticker with a copy button; search by it on Pons or anywhere else.

Moderation after the fact

Launch is permissionless; nothing is reviewed up front. Anyone can report a callout or a statement. We hide what targets a person instead of a decision, an action or a policy, and what breaks the law, and we act on valid legal requests. What is hidden can be restored. Hiding a statement never touches the position behind it. A callout’s daily spreader contest is not run while it is hidden; what its pool holds waits there for the contests after it is restored. Who is responsible for what is in the terms.

Contracts enforce every split

The vault is the only place a callout’s creator side can go, and it can only split by the percentage fixed when the callout was created. The router takes the platform fee and pays the referrer in the same transaction. The pool contract refuses more than 20 winners, more than 13% to one account, or more than it holds. The owner key sets defaults for future callouts, and can change an address that moves money only through a public 48-hour delay. A guardian key can pause new launches, new buys and new publishing; selling and settling never pause. Neither key can move anyone’s money.

Callout

A demand made in public, with a market behind it: who should act, what they should do, a title. On the chain it is a token launched on Pons with the callout’s vault as its fee recipient. Also our name.

Curve

The Pons bonding curve a callout trades on before graduation. The price rises as people buy and falls as they sell; every trade pays the 1% curve fee.

Graduation

When enough has been bought on the curve (the threshold Pons sets for each quote asset, for example 4.2 ETH or 8,090 USDG), Pons moves the token to a Uniswap v4 pool. The callout page shows Bonding with how full the curve is, then Graduated. Trading here goes on the same way, with the same fees, and the pool’s fee keeps sending a share to the vault.

Creator side

The 70% of the Pons curve fee that Pons pays to whoever launched the token. Here that is always the callout’s vault, never a person.

Vault

The contract that receives a callout’s creator side, converts it to dollars, and splits it 70 / 30 between the daily pool and the treasury. It never holds callout tokens. Nobody holds a key to it.

Daily pool

A callout’s prize pool for spreaders. Filled by the vault, paid out every UTC day on the ladder, carried over when it is under $50.

Ladder

The 20-rank share table. Each rank gets 88% of the one above: 13.0% for first, 1.15% for twentieth.

Referrer

The account you are bound to for life, set at sign-up or on your first trade. They get 25% of your platform fee at once; you get a 10% discount on it.

USDG

The dollar stablecoin on Robinhood Chain. Your cash, every price, every prize and every commission is USDG.

Pons

The launchpad on Robinhood Chain where every callout is launched and traded. It keeps 30% of the curve fee.
