Chains & venues
Degenland is multichain by design but honest about sequencing: a chain only opens for launches once its entire launch → trade → graduation path has been verified end to end. This page is the per-chain detail behind the capability matrix - what each chain graduates to, what it costs, what makes it worth picking, and what it can’t do.
Availability at a glance
No mainnet contract set is deployed on any chain yet, so nothing below spends real money. “Live” means the launch → trade → graduation path works on that chain’s test network today (Robinhood Testnet, BSC Testnet, Base Sepolia, Solana Devnet). For the feature-by-feature version of this, see What works where.
| Chain | Launches | Curve engine | Graduates to |
|---|---|---|---|
| Robinhood Chain | Live | Degenland contract | Uniswap V3 / V4 |
| BNB Smart Chain | Live | Degenland contract | PancakeSwap V3 / Infinity |
| Base | Live | Degenland contract | Uniswap V4 |
| Ronin | Coming soon | Degenland contract | Katana V3 |
| Solana | Live | Meteora DBC / Raydium CLMM | Meteora DAMM v2 |
Robinhood Chain
Live - the home venue, and the reason Degenland exists in this form. Robinhood Chain is an Arbitrum Orbit rollup with full EVM equivalence, ETH as gas, and roughly 100 ms blocks, so the site feels live rather than “pending…”.
- Graduation venue: Uniswap V3 (default) or V4 (opt-in). By default a token graduates into a full-range Uniswap V3 position whose LP NFT the launchpad holds forever. A creator can instead elect the hooked Uniswap V4 venue, where the pool’s fee hook keeps charging the creator’s own swap fee after graduation.
- The only chain with stock-native features. Tokenized equities (NVDA, AAPL, SPY and more) settle here as ordinary ERC-20s with on-chain Chainlink price feeds - a property of the chain, not a partnership. It is why the equity tape, the VS·SPY benchmark, the pay-fees-in-stock rail, and the in-app bridge & swap all point here. See Tokenized equities.
- Currency: ETH. Launch fee
0.002 ETH, default graduation raise4 ETH, curve prices in ETH. - Explorer: Blockscout at

BNB Smart Chain
Live - BSC is EVM, so it runs the same Degenland contracts and the same curve as Robinhood Chain. It brings reach - the largest retail memecoin audience outside Solana - rather than new features.
- Graduation venue: PancakeSwap V3 (default) or Infinity (opt-in). PancakeSwap V3 is a Uniswap V3 fork, so the LP-locked-forever guarantee carries over. One real difference is the fee tier: PancakeSwap has no 0.3% tier - its tiers are 0.01/0.05/0.25/1% - so BSC pools use the
0.25%tier. The opt-in hooked venue here is PancakeSwap Infinity (Pancake’s Uniswap-V4-style fork), the exact analog of Robinhood’s V4 election - same election, same fee schedule. - Currency: BNB, not ETH. Everything the curve denominates is in BNB. Because BNB is not ETH, the BSC economic numbers are set deliberately rather than copied from Robinhood - the app always prices a native amount in the right symbol.
- No stock-native features. Equities settle only on Robinhood Chain.
Base
Live - Base is EVM with ETH as gas, and it runs canonical Uniswap V4. Because V4 is native to Base, our V4 contract trio is configuration rather than new code, and a Base token graduates straight into a hooked Uniswap V4 pool - the same hook that keeps charging the creator’s swap fee after graduation, no separate V3 path.
- Graduation venue: Uniswap V4. The pool carries Degenland’s fee hook, so the creator-set fee runs on every post-graduation trade (see the V4 venue). Like V3, the position is full-range and held by the graduator contract forever.
- Currency: ETH. Same native coin as Robinhood - no BNB-style symbol trap.
- Explorer: Basescan. The launch → buy → graduate path has run on Base Sepolia; mainnet awaits the deploy.
Ronin
Coming soon - Ronin is EVM (the gaming chain behind Axie), with RON as its native coin. Its DEX is Katana, a Uniswap-V3 fork, so a Ronin token graduates to a Katana V3 pool. Graduation needs a small Katana-specific branch that isn’t deployed yet, which is why Ronin is not open.
- Graduation venue: Katana V3. A Uniswap V3 fork; there is no V4-class hooked venue on Ronin, so Katana is the venue (there is no hooked pool to elect).
- No cross-chain expansion - ever. LayerZero runs no endpoint on Ronin, so a Ronin token can neither send nor receive an expansion. This is a fact about LayerZero, not our roadmap.
- Currency: RON, not ETH. Same native-symbol care as BNB.
Solana
Live - Solana is not EVM, so it is a genuinely different machine under the same product. It also offers the most launch shapes of any chain:
- Native SOL pair → a bonding curve. Launching against SOL opens a Meteora Dynamic Bonding Curve (DBC) - the Solana analog of the EVM curve - which graduates into a Meteora DAMM v2 pool.
- Custom (non-SOL) pair → no curve. Picking a pre-listed pair token opens a Raydium CLMM pool that trades from block one, with no curve and no graduation. This is also how reward tokens and curated pairs launch. It costs a little more (a two-transaction open and unrecoverable position rent) and a thinner slice of volume reaches the launch than on the SOL path.
- pump.fun bundle mode. A separate mode that creates the token on pump.fun’s own curve with a disclosed atomic bundle - see pump.fun bundles.
- Different wallet, one account. You connect a Solana wallet (Phantom, Solflare, Backpack) alongside your EVM wallet. Addresses are base58, SPL tokens have 6 decimals (reward tokens use Token-2022), and selling is a single signature - no approvals.
Token charts come from Degenland’s own indexer. Raydium CLMM pools (custom-pair launches) are indexed and chart continuously. But a native-SOL curve token that graduates and migrates to a Meteora DAMM v2 pool outruns the indexer today: post- migration swaps on DAMM v2 aren’t indexed yet, so its chart and volume freeze at graduation. The token and your balance are unaffected - only the candles stop until that coverage lands. It’s called out here so a graduated chart that stops moving doesn’t look like a bug.
Solana trades pay Meteora’s pool fee (the protocol keeps a fixed share; the rest reaches the launch, and the creator claims from the token page). Two EVM features are absent by construction: the burn/staker/stock fee-routing menu, and referral attribution - a Solana trade records a referral of exactly 0.

The waitlist
A chain that is listed but not launchable (Ronin today) shows a waitlist action instead of a launch button: connect a wallet, join, and you are notified when the venue opens. The waitlist is keyed to your wallet, and the API refuses signups for chains that are already open - so the list only ever contains people actually waiting.
