chain

what it reads, and where it lives

ponstant is deployed on Robinhood Chain. The token trades on Pons. Nothing that happens to the token touches the program: there is no hook taking a cut, no treasury, no balance, and no address the contract will pay. The program holds no funds and has no function that moves value, so the two things sit next to each other and only one of them is a market.

Every quantity the program reduces is produced by the chain itself in the ordinary course of making blocks. Nothing is oracled in and nothing is submitted by hand. That is the reason the source list is what it is: those are the numbers the chain publishes whether or not anybody is watching them.

Two of the sources come from outside the L2's own block production. The settled L1 block is the last block the rollup has finalised on the layer beneath it, which moves in long steps rather than smooth ones. The pool tick and swap count come from the Pons pool, which moves only when somebody trades. They are included because they behave differently from the block clock, not because they matter more.

The two clocks on this chain do not run at the same speed. The L2 produces blocks quickly and the L1 settles them in long, uneven steps, so the settled height lags behind the local height by an amount that widens and snaps closed rather than drifting smoothly. Reducing both against the same modulus puts a fast clock and a slow clock through identical arithmetic, and the difference between what they produce is the difference between the clocks.

The token and the program share a name and nothing else. There is no hook taking a share of trades, no fee routed anywhere, no treasury accumulating, and no address the contract will ever pay. The program cannot be funded because it has no function that accepts value, and it cannot be drained for the same reason.

Every address the site reads from is listed below the moment it exists, with a link to the explorer. If a row is empty, that contract is not deployed. Nothing here is verified by this site telling you it is verified.
