## 12. Pools.trade Crowd Launch: a 4h bid window, tradable only if it reaches $10K FDV
Source: https://airdropalert.com/blogs/pons-family-vs-pools-trade/ , https://docs.bitquery.io/docs/blockchain/robinhood/pools-trade-api/
Claim: Crowd Launch lets everyone bid a budget over 4 hours, with earlier bids getting better prices. Under $10K FDV all orders are refunded. Instant Launch is a bonding curve with no minimum. The creator's buy is forced into the launch block, so snipers are not first. Liquidity is locked in a v4 pool with a 0.25% fee. About 6,000 tokens were minted on day one.
Test on our chain: (a) does our pool feed see Pools.trade pools, and from which block do they become tradable? (b) For Crowd Launch tokens, the first tradable block is the end of the bid window. Compare the P1M/runner rate of crowd-launch tokens with Pons and v4 nohook tokens, entering after the launch block. Caveat: one article, no performance data, so this is a hypothesis.
Data needed: Pools.trade factory/hook address (Bitquery docs), a launch-type flag, creation block, first-swap block.

## 13. Venue list: Yoink and NOXA.fun are named as launchpads besides Pons and hood.fun
Source: Pons/Robinhood Chain overview in Yahoo and Tangem search results. Only the names were read, with no mechanics. Check whether our pool feed covers Yoink and NOXA pools. Noxa was on the 10 Oct to-do list and is still not read.

## Searched, nothing new
Runner case studies (KOL or wallet-tracker driven, $10M tier): no usable source. Only chain-level facts (volume down 96% from peak, gas subsidy ended 29 Sep), already in items 4 and 9.

## 14. Yoink and NOXA addresses (answer to #1399)
See scout-yoink-noxa-11oct.md. NOXA factory 0xD9eC2db5f3D1b236843925949fe5bd8a3836FCcB confirmed on chain; Yoink factory not published, token 0xa2718f80f1fe0cdec69c9023ee006807dd487a8c only.

## 14. Yoink/NOXA are not separate venues (ppfeeds, 11 Oct)
Source: http://159.223.88.168/hx-c9ois/ppfeeds/yoink-noxa-11oct.md. Yoink ($YOINK 0xa2718f80f1fe0cdec69c9023ee006807dd487a8c) pool uses the same Uniswap v3 factory v3live reads; it was missing only because it launched before v3live data start (block 81.39M). Launcher contract 0x204faca1764b154221e35c0d20abb3c525710498 (EIP-7702 EOA deployer) flags Yoink launches. NOXA factory had zero logs in 1M blocks (idle or no events). No new feed needed. Test idea: tag v3live pools whose creation tx touches the Yoink launcher and compare their runner rate. Needs tx traces/creation-tx data (dataeng).
