Every week projects bid ETH for three sponsored slots on Stoa: the top of Trade's token list, Launches and Tokens, marked Sponsored.
$STOA holders lock and vote. The three largest bids with at least 1M $STOA of votes win; 90% of each goes to the holders who voted for it, 10% buys $STOA and burns it, and losing bids are refunded.
Week 1 opens Monday 23 November, 07:00 WIB. The contract is reviewed in the internal security review (29 unit and attack tests, a fork test on Robinhood Chain, Slither); it is not externally audited.
Tokens: every token Stoa lists has its own page with its price, liquidity and the best route on Stoa right now, plus Buy and Sell.
Embed: any website can show a live Buy on Stoa card for a listed token or $STOA. Buy opens Stoa in a new tab with the site's referral; no wallet connects inside the card. Copy the code from a token page.
Portfolio: every swap in your history now has Share, with your referral.
Install: Stoa can be added to a phone's home screen and opens full screen on Trade.
After a swap confirms, Trade shows what you paid and got, with Share on X and Share link. The link opens a page for that swap, read from the transaction, with its own link card.
The link carries your referral: anyone who swaps through it pays you 10% of Stoa's fee, as on Referrals.
A new FAQ answers the questions people ask most: whether Stoa is audited, what has been checked, whether the team can touch your funds, how much volume Stoa does and how it is counted, what $STOA does, and what a swap costs. Each answer links to the full page.
The Audits page now lists the current test counts (73 unit tests, 22 fork tests on Robinhood Chain, 11 on Elysium) and the Robinhood Chain router on Sourcify.
The $STOA page and docs now show Stoa's team wallet on fomo with its live balance. fomo's team tag requires the team to hold at least 0.5% of supply there; the team bought 6.8M $STOA on the Pons curve for it on 15 November and keeps at least 0.5% while the tag is active.
New guide: Become a maker. What each network asks (a 10 HYPE bond per pool on Elysium, a $STOA bond on Robinhood Chain), the approval steps through the timelock, how a quote works on-chain, slashing and the risks.
The Maker kit, Stoa's own quoting bot, is open source in the repository's maker folder.
Under each quote, Trade now lists what every venue Stoa routes would give for your exact amount, marks the route Stoa fills, and shows how much more you get than on the weakest venue, after Stoa's 2 bps fee.
Venues with almost no liquidity for the pair are left out, so the comparison only counts real alternatives.
Links to the Stats page now show a live card with volume and swaps.
The homepage shows $STOA's live bonding-curve progress under the hero, with a button to buy it.
On phones, large amounts now fit the swap box: amounts show 2 decimals above 1,000 and 4 above 1, with the full figure on hover.
The internal review now covers every contract deployed since 12 November: the Robinhood Chain router, StoaPoolL2, BondRegistry, StoaBuyback and the Aero, Ramses and Pons curve adapters. Not an external audit.
Slither over every Stoa contract (every High and Medium result triaged), 73 unit tests and 22 fork tests, all passing. New findings: one medium about admin trust (the timelock can hand the fee contract to a new owner), two low, four informational. None lets anyone take user funds.
A new Stats page shows the volume and swaps routed through Stoa on Robinhood Chain and Elysium: all time, last 7 days, last 24 hours, per UTC day, and the latest swaps with their transactions.
Counted from the routers' Routed events, one per settled swap, each valued once on its stablecoin or gas-token side. Updated every 5 minutes, also as JSON at /api/stats.
The volume and swap counts on Pools come from the same numbers, so they load quickly on phones and count Robinhood Chain's last 24 hours correctly.
Earlier Pons graduations, up to about 12 days back, are now registered on Stoa's Uniswap V4 adapter too, not just the last day's.
Launches priced in USDG graduate to a USDG pool: the watcher now registers those too, and they trade on Stoa from USDG. Launches priced in other tokens (stock tokens and the like) stay on Pons.
A graduated token whose pool is not in the router yet shows an Add pool button on its page: one small transaction, open to anyone.
The sitemap lists the token pages of the launches closest to graduation and of recent graduations, refreshed every hour.
Every Pons launch has its own page, stoadex.com/launches/<address>: curve progress, price, market cap, creator tax and a Trade or Pons button, refreshed every 10 seconds. Its link card on X and Telegram shows the token's logo and progress.
Share links from Launches open the token's page and still carry the sharer's referral.
Live numbers: curve progress and market cap on Launches, and the latest point of the $STOA chart, are read from the curves every 10 seconds instead of a CDN copy that could be a few minutes old. The supply API is at most a minute old.
The $STOA page is ready for graduation: once $STOA moves to Uniswap V4, its market cap comes from Stoa's best quote.
The graduation watcher also creates $STOA's graduation pool if its curve fills without one (a step anyone may take through the Pons factory), then registers it. Tested end to end on a fork of Robinhood Chain: $STOA routes from ETH and from USDG right after.
The graduation watcher now registers the Uniswap V4 pool of every Pons token that graduates, not just $STOA, so they trade on Stoa without anyone pressing Add pool. Only the pool Pons creates at graduation, at most 10 per run.
Launches: search by name, ticker or address; sort by closest to graduation, newest or market cap; an 80%+ filter; a live link preview with the three curves closest to graduation.
New guide: Trade Pons tokens on Stoa (curve and graduated stages, costs, what is left to Pons, risks).
New Launches page: every Pons token on its bonding curve that raised at least 0.05 ETH in the last few days, by ETH raised, with curve progress, market cap, creator tax and age, plus recent graduations.
Read straight from the Pons factory and curves once a minute (/api/pons/launches). Until the Pons curve adapter is live (18 Nov), the buttons open Pons; after that they open a Stoa swap.
PonsCurveAdapter deployed and source-verified: Stoa can trade tokens still on their Pons launch curve, $STOA included, directly with ETH or from any token through WETH.
Quotes use the curve's own pricing (Pons' 1% fee, the token's creator tax, x·y=k), matched to the wei on the live $STOA curve and four other live curves. The buy that would graduate a curve is left to Pons.
Adding it to the router goes through the Safe and the 48h timelock (scheduled, expected live 18 Nov). From then the weekly buyback can buy $STOA before it graduates.
StoaBuyback deployed on Robinhood Chain. Protocol fees can only be swapped to $STOA through the Stoa router and burned; the contract refuses any other withdrawal.
Handing the fee contract to StoaBuyback goes through the 48h timelock (scheduled, executes 17 Nov). A weekly keeper then runs the buyback once $STOA has a route.
BondRegistry deployed: makers bond $STOA to quote Stoa pools. Slashed bonds are burned; unbonding takes 3 days.
New $STOA page with buyback status, burn history and bond controls.
Adapters for Aero Slipstream and Ramses V3 concentrated-liquidity pools deployed and source-verified.
Adding them to the router goes through the Safe and the 48h timelock in three rounds (scheduled, expected live 18 Nov). The app shows them as soon as the router accepts them.
Pools page lists the pools the router actually uses, with liquidity and volume. Each pool links straight to a pre-filled trade.
Trade links take ?chain=, ?sell= and ?buy= (symbol or address).
Swaps send a gas limit with headroom over the node's estimate. First mainnet swaps on Robinhood Chain (ETH → USDG → ETH) went through after this change.
Dedicated RPCs for reads, with the public RPC kept for log scans.
