Robinhood Chain new pairs methodology
The new-pairs surface lists Uniswap-style pools on Robinhood Chain (chain ID 4663) in the order they were initialised on-chain. This page documents which events we consume, which pools we include, how quickly a new pool becomes visible, and where the surface is expected to be incomplete.
New-pairs is intentionally an unranked timeline. A pool appearing here is not an endorsement — early pools are among the highest-risk objects on any chain, and this page exists so readers can inspect the raw discovery stream and its limits. Nock Terminal is an independent product with no affiliation to, and no partnership with, Robinhood Markets, Inc. Everything below describes how our own indexers compute the numbers; the underlying network is defined by the Robinhood Chain docs and its public Blockscout explorer.

Definitions
A "new pair" is a pool contract on chain 4663 whose initialisation event we have indexed. Each entry corresponds to a specific pool between two ERC-20 tokens (or an ERC-20 and the wrapped base asset), not to a token in isolation.
"Pool age" is measured from the block timestamp of the initialisation event, not from the earlier deployment of either underlying token contract.
Inclusion and exclusion rules
Included: pools initialised on chain 4663 whose token pair passes basic ERC-20 checks and whose event log is consistent with the Uniswap v4 pool interface documented in the Uniswap docs.
Excluded: pools whose one or both underlying contracts fail ERC-20 validation, pools initialised on other chains that share a name with a chain 4663 pool, and pools flagged by the indexer as reorg'd out and never re-indexed.
Sampling window and freshness
Pool-initialisation events are consumed at the indexer's tip of chain. New pairs typically appear within a block of finality. Sustained upstream outages produce a visible gap in the timeline; the affected range is backfilled once the indexer catches up rather than being interpolated.
Calculation
There is no ranking. Pools are shown in reverse chronological order by first-seen timestamp. Metadata such as pair name, initial reserves, and creator address is pulled from the initialisation event and the two underlying token contracts.
Known blind spots and caveats
Non-standard pool implementations that do not emit a recognisable initialisation event will be missed. Pools that use custom hooks that alter the standard event shape may be delayed until the parser is updated.
Because the timeline shows initialisation, not first meaningful liquidity, a pool can appear here with almost no depth and remain untradable in practice.
Correction policy
If a definition, filter or calculation on this page is wrong, out of date, or contradicts a primary source, the primary source wins and we correct the page. Report errors via the contact channel linked from the Nock Terminal footer with the URL, the disputed statement, and a citation to the correct value.
Methodology changes that materially affect any published number are noted in-page with the effective date so historical readings remain interpretable.
Frequently asked questions
Does a pool showing up here mean the token is safe? No. New pairs are among the highest-risk objects on any chain. The timeline is a discovery aid; contract safety, honeypot checks, and holder concentration are separate research steps. Why does a pool I saw on-chain not appear here? It usually means the pool used a non-standard initialisation event our parser has not learned yet, or the indexer is still catching up. Sharing the pool address lets us verify both. How is this different from trending? New pairs is an unranked, time-ordered timeline of pool creation. Trending is a ranking of recent demand across already-established pools with liquidity.
