Pons Founder Ozzy Denies Claims That Post-Launch Tax Rates Can Be Changed

Pons founder and lead developer Ozzy said claims circulating in the market that Pons allows tax rates to be changed after launch are inaccurate. According to Foresight News, he said some trading terminals route buys and sells to high-tax pools, even when Pons’ Uniswap V4-initialized pool has sufficient liquidity and a 0% tax rate, with only a 1% hook fee and all trades publicly disclosed. Ozzy said that when malicious actors launch a vamp, or vampire attack, against the pool by creating another pool for the same token with a higher tax rate to divert trading volume, terminals may show a higher tax rate. He said the figure can fluctuate depending on routing configuration errors and which pool a terminal selects, and does not mean the official pool’s tax rate was changed after issuance. Ozzy said he has asked the relevant terminals to fix the issue, saying it harms users and creates unnecessary FUD.
