Noxa Flees After Just Three Days of Profit: What's Happening on the Robinhood Chain?

On July 11, when Noxa, the largest Launchpad on Robinhood, announced on its official X account that it would temporarily close the new token launch feature due to issues such as traffic diversion and the influx of low-quality new tokens, players generally applauded the decision.

At this point, only three days had passed since $CASHCAT took off, and Robinhood was the liquidity focus of the entire chain market, with Noxa already earning over $6.5 million in fees. In the eyes of players, Noxa's decision to halt new token launches at the best time to make money was not only beneficial for concentrating attention and liquidity on existing projects but also finally represented a "savior" willing to actively seek solutions to the poor PvP environment on the chain.

However, it turned out that there was no savior, only the expected outcome. Noxa, not wanting to enjoy the sudden wealth, must have had its reasons. On July 13, Noxa's page became inaccessible, and their response was that a Cloudflare issue was preventing domain access.

On July 14, they reiterated that the page would be redirected to ENS services and that creator income would soon be available for withdrawal.

Ultimately, in a tweet posted last night at 11:37 PM, Noxa stated that it did not want its launchpad to become a tool for a massive influx of worthless new tokens. To avoid the OG token being drowned by various ill-intentioned new issuances, they decided to continue prohibiting new token launches. Meanwhile, the platform would no longer collect any fees as income, with all transaction fees being 100% allocated to creators.

In essence, they "fled," but without absconding with funds, they found a relatively dignified reason to exit.

Why Did They "Flee"?

Many players do not understand why, after successfully starting a business and earning tens of millions of dollars in just a week, they would suddenly stop.

Many players speculate about "internal strife" within the team, believing that the operators controlling the platform's domain and social accounts are not the same as the developers responsible for contract development and specific functionality. When platform revenues surged, developers demanded a share, but operators refused. Since the prohibition of new token issuance, both parties have been embroiled in disputes over profit distribution, while operators continue to maintain a facade of calm on social media.

This narrative sounds plausible, suggesting that "we can share hardships but not wealth." In the Noxa Telegram group, all pinned messages come from AmunPhantom and Crypto Safe. According to message history, Crypto Safe's messages were pinned as early as January 2025. Although the two have a bond, the sudden influx of wealth was simply too fast.

However, these are merely speculations, lacking direct evidence to prove that conflicts exist between the two parties, and it is even impossible to prove that the platform's contract deployment address and revenue address are controlled by different parties.

After Noxa's official Twitter announced its cessation, Crypto Safe stated in his Telegram channel that he was too tired and had left Noxa. AmunPhantom, on the other hand, remains silent, having last appeared on Telegram the previous Saturday.

Crypto Safe also referenced a tweet from the $MARIAN project, suggesting that Noxa faces serious legal challenges, possibly related to copyright disputes with Robinhood, as many tokens originate from Robinhood-related content. Due to numerous complaints about their previous main site, they had to move the page to IPFS to ensure that creator income could still be collected.

So if you are willing to believe that Crypto Safe's forwarding is tantamount to an "official statement," the reason for not continuing may not involve any love-hate disputes over profits, but simply that continuing would require further investment in expansion and addressing potential significant legal risks.

Personally, I tend to believe that they have already made enough in these few days; not everyone needs to succeed like pump.fun. At least, I think it is difficult to say there are potential significant legal risks at this stage, especially since many meme coins appeared in the demonstration video recently published by Robinhood Crypto X, making it quite far-fetched to suggest that Robinhood would care about this issue.

Panic Selling: A Whale Falls, Everything Lives

Yesterday, many new platforms began to attract players' attention, as it was indeed strange to halt new token issuance for three consecutive days during such a bustling period. Pons and Kilk were two platforms that received considerable discussion yesterday, and based on yesterday's data, Pons performed exceptionally well, with daily trading volume ranking just behind Noxa.

In addition, Pons is backed by a developer with a Chillhouse avatar (indicating recognition from the Solana trenches), and the atmosphere resembles early Kintara (which built trust through rapid iteration, contrasting sharply with Noxa's prolonged silence). Most importantly, part of the platform's revenue is used to repurchase $PONS, and by yesterday afternoon, 12.8% of the total supply had already been burned.

However, fundamentally speaking, yesterday, no one believed that if Noxa resumed operations, any platform could pose a threat to it. Therefore, buying around $1 million worth of $PONS yesterday afternoon was a bet that Noxa would indeed close down. After Noxa confirmed its cessation, the top position of the launchpad was left vacant, leading to a fundamental reversal for $PONS, which has now reached a market value of $10 million.

Another point of confusion for many is why some tokens plummeted severely after Noxa closed. Firstly, I do not believe it is due to potential security issues, as everyone already knew that Noxa's contracts were not open source, which did not affect $CASHCAT's status as a leading token with a market value exceeding $100 million. The price performance of $CASHCAT saw panic selling immediately after the news broke, resulting in a long lower shadow, indicating some support. As for why it could not rebound above a market value of $200 million, I tend to think it simply had not finished adjusting.

The reasons are more that the market remains pessimistic about Noxa's closure, especially regarding tokens that have already appointed a CTO but whose creator income has not yet been transferred, or where the transfer situation is unclear, players will rush to escape. Since Noxa has not yet stated how the subsequent CTO creator income transfer will be handled, if the CTO is no longer working, the probability of a token dying directly due to this incident significantly increases.

Let's look at two examples: First, $GME, which dropped from a market value of $2.36 million to a low of $570,000 after the news broke. After the CTO team announced everything was normal and that operations and repurchases would continue, it rebounded to a market value of $1.8 million at its peak.

Another example is $4663, which has been consistently promoted by Noxa. Additionally, a Korean trader named Yeon, who made a lot of money on $CASHCAT the day before, shouted out in his Telegram channel, causing it to surge to a peak market value of $8 million. Now, $4663 is left with less than $800,000 in market value.

The reason $GME currently has more breathing room than $4663 is simple. For $GME, which has a CTO and a storyline, people expect that there are still people working on this token. Just like how Robinhood once ruined the GME market, now this chain's $GME has also reached a similar moment due to Noxa's closure.

Such a story requires someone to operate it, so although it has also been affected by emotions and has fallen, it cannot be said to be completely dead; the probability of future revival is still considerable. This applies to all old Noxa tokens that still have operating teams, and some players have even begun to believe that old Noxa tokens will become "artifacts" in Robinhood's history, as there will be no more like them in the future, which may not be an ununique narrative perspective.

However, $4663 faces the complete failure of its original logic—Noxa is gone, and the Korean big player is also gone. The sources that could bring it attention were once large and strong, but now they have suddenly disappeared, creating a huge gap. While it cannot be said to be completely dead, people will become increasingly pessimistic in the current situation, and at least in the widespread perception, the pessimistic sentiment that this token is not viable in the short term will be very heavy, leading to even steeper declines.

A whale falls, everything lives. From the above analysis, our conclusion is that the short-term panic is too heavy; one launchpad shutting down does not mean much. It also gives us three angles worth observing more:

• Pay attention to the data of new platforms and mine for gold on them.

• Pay attention to old Noxa tokens, which could very well be picked up and traded after the panic subsides, and some tokens may not be significantly affected, making them worth closer attention. However, this aspect must consider the stability of $CASHCAT; if Noxa's leadership cannot hold, it will be difficult for others to do so.

• Pay attention to tokens emerging from non-launchpads. This requires a more specific perspective, such as $MARIAN, which is the first token deployed on the Robinhood chain. Yesterday, it actually dropped from a market value of $3.7 million to nearly $1 million, but people quickly realized that this was not a token shot out by Noxa... So it was immediately corrected from a market value of $1 million back to nearly $10 million. Another example is $ARROW, which, although its product has not yet been released, has also seen a doubling in value over the past two days because the team has not left the launchpad.
