Launched into a real pool, tradable from block one.
A protocol release. VEX now launches tokens on pools.fun: researched, launched, and fee-claimed from inside the runtime. Nine new tools, thirteen on-chain checks before any approval, and every money path verified against the live chain before this note was written.

Protocol release · pools.fun on Robinhood Chain

On-chain checks a launch transaction must pass before your approval is even requested. What you approve is the exact byte-for-byte transaction that gets broadcast.

01 · Launchpad
Research it, launch on it, collect what it earns.
pools.fun is a launchpad on Robinhood Chain where a new token starts life inside a real SushiSwap V3 pool: no bonding curve, no graduation, tradable from its first block. VEX can research it, launch on it, and collect the creator fees a launch earns.
Launches are verified, not trusted. The launchpad's backend hands VEX a ready-made launch transaction; VEX never signs it on faith. It decodes the calldata and re-derives every field against the chain: name, symbol, paired asset against the factory's own allowlist, the deployment fee against the contract's live value and its on-chain bounds, the predicted token address recomputed three independent ways, and the exact transaction value. Thirteen checks in all, every one required before your approval is even requested. What you approve is the exact byte-for-byte transaction that gets broadcast.
Atomic first buy. A launch can include an ETH prebuy that fills in the same transaction the pool is created in. Its minimum output is pinned to the exact simulated fill, never a percentage band, so the first buy cannot be quietly worse than what was shown.
The creator fee stream is yours, and claimable. On every agent launch the fee recipient is pinned to your session wallet. The tools expose no parameter to point it anywhere else. Fee claims are previewed as a free on-chain simulation and report both legs, the launched token and the paired asset, as raw amounts with their decimals. Figures the locker merely holds already are labeled as such, never presented as the claimable total.
Research at full provider depth. Five read tools cover screening with every server-verified filter and sort, name search, price candles, single-token deep reads (with decimals read on-chain, not assumed), and your own launch history. A filter the provider does not support is refused by name with a pointer to the tool that can answer it.
Trading needs no new venue. Because a pools.fun token sits in an ordinary Sushi V3 pool, VEX quotes and trades it through KyberSwap like any other token, measured against live launches before shipping, not assumed.
A launch form with two honest stages. The launchpad card now hosts a platform selector (Trench | pools.fun). Stage one shows the final predicted token address, the resolved fee recipient, and the exact cost breakdown; only the Deploy click authorizes precisely that transaction.
02 · Before you update
Upgrade notes.
Eleven new database migrations (073-083) run automatically on first start; the first launch after updating may take a moment longer. Two changes you will feel: agent-initiated token launches now require a picture staged in the image locker (the form path still leaves it your choice), and the locker stores your originals at full quality: pools.fun launches carry the original, while Trench launches automatically use a small on-chain copy prepared at upload. Completed on-chain actions attest to the public AgentScan service. No manual action is required.
