How to earn ten million dollars in a week? The Robinhood chain Meme launch platform NOXA has the answer.

According to Dune data, NOXA has surpassed Pump.fun for five consecutive days, with total protocol fees exceeding 13.44 million USD. Even more astonishing is that there is only one developer behind NOXA: Amun Phantom (X: @AmunPhantom), who directly crushes the legendary story of Pump.fun's "hundred-person team creating over 500 million in profits." If all of NOXA's protocol fees belong to Amun Phantom, he might be the first person to earn A9 on the Robinhood Chain.

The outside world attributes NOXA's explosive popularity to "luck": it coincidentally launched when the Robinhood Chain went live, and the CASHCAT launched by NOXA was promoted by the Robinhood CEO, reaching a market cap of 230 million USD in just three days. The Robinhood Chain needed Meme coins to create momentum, and NOXA was just the lucky one chosen.

However, looking back at Amun Phantom's past, you will find that his success is by no means accidental, but rather resembles a long-planned "Degen" comeback story. In October 2025, he wrote his motto: The reason you cannot become a successful Crypto developer is that you have not dug deep into the trenches. At that moment, the gears of fate may have quietly meshed.

Degen Developers and Their DegenFi

Although players generally see NOXA as a Meme launch platform like Pump.fun, Amun Phantom himself does not think so; he believes NOXA is the first and currently the only DegenFi protocol in the market.

The Degen spirit is usually seen as a positive term in the crypto context. If a crypto player calls themselves a Degen, it means they are more perceptive, adventurous, eager to embrace new things, and not stuck on old viewpoints. The official X account of NOXA also directly showcases its self-positioning, stating, "Always the first to support the latest blockchains, even before they officially launch."

With the Degen spirit as its protocol, Amun Phantom's NOXA has "gone crazy" on the Robinhood Chain.

NOXA had already been warming up related Meme coins launched from the platform before its official launch on July 1, but there was little effect until July 8, when the Robinhood CEO posted on X stating, "Although I want to make the Robinhood Chain the best payment chain for RWA, it is equally applicable to Meme," and the market cap of the Meme coin CASHCAT launched by NOXA skyrocketed, marking a turning point for NOXA.

According to Dune data, starting from July 8, the daily number of new Meme coins on the Robinhood Chain experienced explosive growth, with an average of over 15,000 new Meme coins added daily. Since NOXA was the first to support the Robinhood Chain and was the launch platform for the leading Meme coin CASHCAT, it still firmly held the leading position amidst competition from over 10 Meme launch platforms, with over 80% of Meme coins on the Robinhood Chain launched from NOXA. (Odaily Note: On July 12, the NOXA website went down due to Cloudflare issues, making it impossible to create tokens)

Daily New Meme Coin Count on Robinhood Chain

At the same time, the total number of active wallets on NOXA has exceeded 270,000. Although the daily active wallet count and daily new token count are not as high as Pump.fun, from July 8 to July 12, NOXA's protocol fees exceeded Pump.fun for five consecutive days, with total protocol fees exceeding 13.44 million USD, contributing over 11.6 million USD in revenue. If all protocol income belongs to Amun Phantom, it means he earned over ten million USD in just five days.

NOXA's Protocol Fees

Rome wasn't built in a day. NOXA was initially just a DEX, providing users with Swap services for the new chain. In September 2025, NOXA announced on X that it would launch a token issuance platform modeled after Pumpfun, and in October, the Launchpad was officially launched, with the first supported public chain being Monad, directly replicating the internal and external market and bonding curve mechanism of Pump.fun.

The final result was not good, but Amun Phantom did not get discouraged. Subsequently, NOXA supported new public chains like Plasma and MegaETH. Amun Phantom strictly adhered to the Degen spirit, changing nests before the first shot was fired, avoiding internal strife, until the Robinhood Chain appeared, and the goddess of fate finally favored him.

Now, NOXA's token issuance mechanism is quite different from Pump.fun. Amun Phantom has canceled the bonding curve, and every token on NOXA goes directly into the Uniswap v3 pool, working similarly to clanker, and has also removed the Swap function on the platform, becoming a pure token issuance platform.

Cycle Builders or Degen Developers?

Perhaps after reading Amun Phantom's story, many developers will have mixed feelings.

On one hand, Amun Phantom is undoubtedly an excellent developer, not only focusing on backend development but also being on the front line to understand the latest market trends and demands. He is a developer, a product manager, and also a Degen player. His success is 90% effort and persistence + 10% luck; no one knows which new chain will explode, so Amun Phantom simply does not make choices, developing Meme infrastructure for every new chain as soon as possible.

This quick response would not be surprising in large web3 companies like OKX or Binance, which have resources and team collaboration, but for small teams or individuals like Amun Phantom, maintaining the Degen spirit since 2025 and ultimately succeeding on the Robinhood Chain is also worthy of respect.

On the other hand, Amun Phantom may not be a trustworthy crypto builder and entrepreneur for users.

Developers "copy" existing applications and adapt them to new blockchains, which is a well-known way for crypto programmers to make money. Being the first project party is enough to dominate a new market and reap substantial rewards. Amun Phantom is one of them, but he is more perceptive and hardworking.

True builders and entrepreneurs who traverse cycles often look down upon or even despise such developers because they enjoy the early market dividends without giving back to the market, instead leaving without a trace, and more importantly, they disrupt the entrepreneurial environment, exacerbating the collective distrust of users and investors towards project parties.

This model also determines that Amun Phantom will not spend too much time "building" on a public chain ecosystem or invest too much effort in polishing products. After the Robinhood Chain's popularity wanes, Amun Phantom may turn to another new chain and open other new projects (Odaily Note: He has promoted many Meme coins on his personal X account).

Therefore, at this stage, NOXA and Pump.fun are fundamentally incomparable. The reliability of a project and its founder is always judged by how they choose after being surrounded by stars.

But perhaps Amun Phantom currently has no time to think about these strategic issues, as the NOXA website has been down for over 20 hours. At this critical moment, every second of downtime means that NOXA's market share will be further eaten away by competitors. Not to mention defeating Pump.fun, even maintaining the leading position of the Robinhood Chain launch platform has become a problem.

Will Amun Phantom succeed as a Degen developer or will it be a fleeting moment? Time is running out for him to deliver his answer.
