Risks and limits
Glint narrows a gap between two chains. It does not make a coin safe. Coins are risky.
For traders
- A price band is not a floor. Both prices can fall together.
- The band is ±5 % by default. Inside it you can still see a spread.
- Each token has its own address on its own chain. Check the address on the coin's page before you buy.
For creators
- The deposit pays the alignment buy. Treat it as spent, the tokens it buys come back to the pad.
- A tighter band costs more fees.
- A high Pons creator fee makes the Robinhood side dearer to trade.
- Your Solana share of creator fees depends on pump.fun's fee sharing, which is locked after one call.
Limits of the maker
| Limit | What happens |
|---|---|
| Imbalance larger than the pool | The maker uses what it has on the chain it needs and closes part of the gap. The rest stays until the market comes back or someone arbitrages it. A hot market with a $5,000 pool is covered 84 % of the time, see sizing the pool |
| Cash on the wrong chain | The pool's SOL cannot lift a cheap Pons price. Cash is kept on both chains, half and half |
| A move in the SOL/ETH rate | It opens a gap in dollars and the maker closes it, which means the maker holds a position through the move |
| One curve graduates first | The graduated side is priced by its pool. The maker stops, then the keeper winds the coin down |
| pump.fun or Pons change | A fee change, a new account in a transaction or a new launch config can break a trade. The keeper simulates before it sends and stops on an error |
| Keeper downtime | The two prices drift until it returns |
Chain risk
Robinhood Chain is a young L2 and Solana has its own outages. A halt, a reorg or an upgrade on either chain can affect a coin. Glint depends on both and cannot override either.
Operator risk
The keeper's keys control the pool. See the operator and the trust model.
Smart-contract risk
The Robinhood Chain contracts are tested on a fork but not deployed and not audited. A bug can exist after an audit as well.
What Glint does not do
- It does not guarantee a price.
- It does not stop a rug on either chain. Creator wallets and fees are public, read them.
- It does not provide liquidity after graduation. The pools do.
