What is $RANKS?
$RANKS is the burn token for DEX Ranks. ETH claims buy and burn it on Robinhood Chain (4663). It does not sort the board.
ETH claims on Robinhood Chain (id 4663) buy $RANKS and send it to the burn address in the same transaction — Paid & Burned. The board still sorts by whole-dollar USD, not by how many tokens moved.

How the Pons 10% tax reaches holders
$RANKS launched on Pons with creatorTaxBps = 1000 and native holder reflection on. Every buy and sell takes 10%. Pons shares that slice to existing holders on the curve — not a DEX Ranks vault, not a fee we skim. The rate is set at launch and cannot be raised later.
- Trade $RANKS → 10% goes to holders via Pons.
- Claim a rank with ETH → checkout buys $RANKS and burns it.
- Claim with Stripe → Paid credit now; we burn $RANKS on-chain after.
Those paths do not mix. Holding earns the tax. Claiming removes supply. Launch details: how to launch a Robinhood Chain token.
How to use it
You do not have to hold $RANKS to claim. ETH checkout buys the burn for you. Card / USDC checkout posts the credit first. Rules: how ranking works.
