New Collateral: $PONS

PONS is joining Teller’s collateral catalogue on Robinhood Chain, giving holders a way to access stablecoin liquidity through Teller or Debit AI.

The addition also opens a broader opportunity for the pons ecosystem: projects that graduate from its launchpad could establish lending markets around their own tokens.

The asset behind the addition

PONS on Robinhood Chain

Contract: 0x39dBED3a2bd333467115dE45665cC57F813C4571

pons is a token launchpad on Robinhood Chain. Creators can launch fixed-supply tokens with their own name, symbol, image, description, and community links. Transactions are approved through the user’s wallet, and the platform does not custody assets.

The launchpad gives projects a place to launch and communities a place to discover them, with a graduation milestone for tokens that meet the platform’s requirements.

PONS is the platform’s namesake token and is itself a graduated token. With collateral support on Teller, holders can use PONS as collateral to borrow stablecoins without selling their tokens.

What collateral support unlocks

Borrow stablecoins against PONS through an available lending pool or offer on Teller. The PONS collateral remains committed to the loan until repayment, when it is released back to the borrower.

Loan amounts, interest rates, and durations are determined by the applicable lending terms and funding. Collateral support makes borrowing possible, but an available, funded pool or offer is still required.

For the PONS community, this adds another use for the token: securing a loan while retaining the ability to recover the collateral through repayment.

Borrow through Debit AI

PONS collateral is also accessible through Debit AI.

With $DEBIT, borrowing can be initiated in plain language through the Debit app or an AI assistant connected to Debit’s MCP server, including ChatGPT or Claude.

The agent executes the loan onchain through Teller, within the permissions and limits set. A holder can initiate a request to borrow stablecoins against PONS, with execution subject to available offers and the applicable loan terms.

Fixed-term borrowing

Teller loans are fixed-term, with no margin calls during the loan term.

Borrowers agree to a specific repayment date and must repay principal and interest or complete an available rollover before that deadline. A rollover depends on available terms and is not automatic.

If a loan is not repaid or rolled over by its due date, the collateral can be sold through a 24-hour Dutch auction to repay the lender. There is no partial liquidation and no grace period.

A growing collateral catalogue

The opportunity extends beyond PONS itself.

Any token that graduates from the pons launchpad could be considered for addition as collateral on Teller. This creates a potential next step for graduating projects: a lending market where holders can borrow against the project’s token.

Teller allows lending pools to be created around supported collateral. A graduating project’s community could help establish and fund a pool, making stablecoin borrowing available against that token.

Graduation does not automatically add a token to Teller or guarantee borrowing availability. Each token would need collateral support and its own funded lending pool or offers, with terms specific to that asset.
