Ballast: Borrowing against your tokens
Use your Ripples tokens as collateral and borrow without selling, backed by liquidity that is locked for good.
Opening launches on Ripples
Roadmap
Ripples turns a token, an NFT collection or a single post on X into a live market on Solana, Robinhood, and Elysium.
Next
Use your Ripples tokens as collateral and borrow without selling, backed by liquidity that is locked for good.
Share a collection and earn a cut of every piece your buyers mint.
Live
Launch a token that trades from the first buy, an NFT collection, or both, with early mints funding the token's market.
Launch on Robinhood, Solana, or Elysium, or open one token on Robinhood and Solana together. Launching on Elysium is in beta.
Post "@ripplesdotrun launch $TICKER" with an image. Your token and its collection are live within minutes, with your fee and your holders' share set right in the post.
On Robinhood, price your token in ETH or in a tokenized stock: NVDA, TSLA, AAPL or SPY.
Set a creator fee of up to 10% on every trade, or none at all, locked in at launch.
Move a pump.fun coin to Ripples and bring its holders with it.
NFT collections that mint while their tokens trade. Buy in, and a new piece of art lands in your wallet.
A collection launched with its token puts 10%, 20% or 40% of every mint into the market and sets aside 2%, 5% or 10% of the supply for its pieces, paid out over time to whoever holds them.
Launches from X can share the creator fee with holders, paid in ETH or in the stock or token the launch is paired with.
Creators can route part of their fees to the people holding their token.
Launch a market from any NFT you hold, and its creator income follows the NFT.
Give a Pons coin or a Virtuals agent token its own NFT collection. Every mint buys the coin for the person minting.
Buy a market on Robinhood with ETH or USDC from Base, Solana, Ethereum, Arbitrum, or Optimism. The tokens arrive in the same wallet on Robinhood.
Pay for a buy with ETH, USDG or another token you hold. Anything other than ETH is swapped to ETH as part of your buy.
When a market reaches its target, its liquidity moves into a pool that is locked permanently.
A launch's fee, supply and lock are set at creation, and anyone can verify them onchain.
Every launch on Robinhood trades in a Uniswap v4 pool from its first trade, visible to charts and trading apps right away.
Collections launched from X draw each piece's traits from the block it is minted in, so anyone can check the result.
The $RIPPLES pool is locked permanently.
Upload finished work and launch it as a collection.
Agents launch, trade and settle through the Ripples SDK and MCP server, or run a launch on their own within limits set at creation.
A Virtuals agent can pay Ripples in USDG to launch its own token on Robinhood, and the creator income goes to the agent.
