How to launch a meme coin on Robinhood Chain

Robinhood Chain is an Ethereum layer 2 network, so fees are paid in ETH and are usually a small fraction of a dollar. That makes it one of the cheapest places to launch a meme coin, and one of the busiest: new tokens appear there every day. This guide walks through the whole process, from the account you need to the moment your coin is live.

What you need before you start

• On sasa: an email, Google or X login is enough. Your balance is in USDC, and network fees are paid in USDC from that balance, so you don't need ETH. You add money as USDC on the Base network.
• With your own wallet (MetaMask, Rabby, Coinbase Wallet or any WalletConnect wallet), you pay network fees in each chain's own gas token as usual: ETH on Robinhood Chain. See Robinhood Chain gas fees.
• A name, a short ticker (for example $HCAT) and a square picture.
• Enough USDC for a first buy on each chain. We recommend $5 or more per chain.

Step by step

1. Open Create a coin on sasa and sign in or connect your wallet.
2. Enter the name, ticker and picture. A short description helps people understand the idea.
3. Choose your first buy on each chain in USDC (presets are $10, $50 and $100). It lands as part of the launch, so you are first in. How big should your first buy be? helps you pick an amount.
4. Choose where your share of trading fees goes: to you, or to buyback-and-burn of your coin.
5. Confirm. The coin goes live on Robinhood Chain, Base, BNB Chain and Arc at the same moment and the 5-minute race starts.
6. Share the link. Every new coin starts with zero attention, so the first minutes matter most.

How the price works after launch

Many meme launchpads sell new coins from a bonding curve and only move them to a DEX after a graduation target. sasa does not. Your coin starts in real DEX pools from the first second: coin/ETH on Uniswap v4 on Robinhood Chain and Base, coin/BNB on PancakeSwap Infinity on BNB Chain and coin/USDC on Arc, with each chain's pool starting at a market cap of about $3,000. Because these are normal pools, DexScreener, GMGN and trading bots can see the coin right away.

After five minutes, the chain whose pool holds the most money, valued in dollars with Chainlink prices, wins. The other pools close, their money moves into the winner's pool minus a 2% hand-over fee, and holders' coins on the other chains move over automatically. The winning pool is locked forever: nobody, not you and not sasa, can pull it. Every race ends with a winner.

Robinhood Chain inside the race

On sasa you don't pick a single chain. Robinhood Chain is one of the four chains every coin launches on, so its buyers can join from the first second without bridging. If Robinhood Chain draws the most money, your coin lives on there in a locked Uniswap v4 pool. If another chain wins, Robinhood Chain holders are not left behind: their coins move to the winning chain automatically, with nothing to claim. The multi-chain launch guide explains the full mechanics.

What it costs

• Your first buy on each chain, in USDC. We recommend $5 or more per chain.
• Network fees on each chain, usually a few cents. With a sasa account they are paid in USDC from your balance; with your own wallet, in the chain's gas token.
• Trading fee: every trade pays 2%. 30% of that fee goes to the coin's creator forever, or, if you choose buyback-and-burn at launch, buys back and burns your coin. The other 70% goes to sasa. Right after launch the fee starts higher and falls to 2% within the first few minutes to slow down snipers.

After the launch

The launch is the easy part. Coins that do well usually have a clear idea, an active community on X or Telegram and a creator who stays around. Post updates, answer questions and never promise returns: meme coins are speculative and most lose their value. The meme coin launch checklist covers the first day.
