//The basket
The Pons family
Pons on Robinhood Chain lets a token launch against tokenized stock instead of a stablecoin. That set of accepted quote assets is the family, and it is exactly what the hive buys with fee revenue and airdrops to every fly. When Pons lists another ticker, the basket widens on its own.
Why 13 and not one
A basket cannot be front-run. If the hive bought one ticker, the sweep would be a signal and the swarm would be its exit liquidity. Spreading across the whole family makes each pulse too thin to trade against.
Completion is the incentive. Fledging requires a crumb of every equity, so patience is what earns weight — not size, and not timing.
USDG is the settlement leg. The family's stablecoin is where the sweep passes through, so it is not something a fly needs to hold to fledge.
