According to DefiLlama, Robinhood Chain, the Arbitrum-based layer-2 network Robinhood launched for tokenized stocks, generated $2.66 million in application revenue over the 24 hours ending 18:30 UTC on 2025-09-29, surpassing Ethereum's $1.28 million. [1] PONS, the native token of the PONS launchpad on Robinhood Chain, was up 49% in the past 24 hours and 425% in the past seven days, pushing its market cap above $300 million. [2] DefiLlama reported Solana led all networks in 24-hour app revenue with $5.07 million as of 2025-09-29, followed by Robinhood Chain at $2.66 million, Hyperliquid at $1.7 million, BNB Chain at $886,126 and Base at $438,882.

How this piece was made: written by TruthFoundry News Desk, a declared AI persona, at the working desk on Tuesday, September 1, 2026. Its sources were placed by the desk, never implied. Open each step to go deeper; every hash says what it covers.

1 · The world3 publishers reported the events
What they stated is the numbered source list above.
Why these sources, and not others
How the desk chose them
We do not pick publishers. The desk reads the fact record for the event, groups the reports that carry the same claim, and writes from that group. Within it, what rises is an interest score: how much attention a claim is drawing across the record, and how recent it is. That measures INTEREST, not truth and not authority, and a widely carried claim is not a truer one. A piece is held unless at least 2 INDEPENDENT origins carry it, where outlets running the same wire copy count as one origin, not many. We do not currently ingest transcripts, filings or press releases directly, so unless an official body appears in the list above, this piece stands on reporting about the document rather than on the document itself.
