Whales pay.
You don't.
Pod is a launchpad where only whale-size buys pay extra. $POD launches first on Pons. The launchpad and its Whale Tax come next, and every step is posted on X.

Noxa made about $12M in fees, then went dark. Everything below can be checked onchain, and each item gets a link the moment it's done.
How the Whale Tax will work
For coins launched on Pod (not $POD itself, which trades on Pons). Most launchpads charge everyone the same. On Pod only the big buys pay extra.
A whale buys big
Any single buy over 1% of supply counts as a whale buy.
1.5% goes to the treasury
1.5% of that buy goes to the Pod treasury, which runs the platform.
Everyone else pays nothing extra
Buys under 1% of supply skip the Whale Tax.
whale buys 3% of supply for 1.20 ETH whale tax = 1.20 × 1.5% = 0.018 ETH → Pod treasury small buy of 0.05 ETH → no whale tax
