One Switch to
Rule Them All

Models come and go. Compute remains.

Don't chase the model — follow the machines every model runs on. $C3750 is the infrastructure trade: born from Cisco switching lore, trading against tokenized NVDA.

Cisco hid a hobbit inside a switch in 2003 and never told anyone. We gave him a market.

THE STORY

A hobbit has been hiding inside a $430 billion company for 23 years

No press release. No box art. An engineer drew him under the lid, where only technicians would ever look.

Apr 2003
Cisco ships the Catalyst 3750. Its StackWise architecture wires up to nine switches into a ring so they behave as one machine.
Codename
Inside Cisco the project carried a Lord of the Rings identity. A ring of machines, one master, one address — the name wrote itself.
The egg
Someone printed a hobbit onto the circuit board in silkscreen ink, right beside the Cisco logotype. Invisible until you open the chassis.
Today
He is still in there, in racks all over the world, in a company worth $430 billion. Nobody ever gave him a market. Now he has one.
Frodo toy card, 1979
Cape, sword, bowl cut. The board drawing traces the hobbit of the 1978 animated film, as printed on the 1979 toy card.
1978 animated film still
The film a generation of network engineers grew up on. Twenty-five years later one of them smuggled it into production hardware.
THE RING

The ring was never decoration. It was how value moved.

Nine switches wired in a circle, acting as one. Traffic goes around the ring until it reaches the member that needs it. Nothing sits still.

The token copies the topology
Every trade drops a fee onto the ring. It travels to every holder, pro-rata, and gets off at each wallet. Same wiring diagram Cisco drew in 2003 — different payload.
THE COMPANY THAT HID HIM

Every serious fund on earth owns a piece of this hobbit

83.59% of Cisco's float sits with institutions — 5,133 of them. BlackRock alone holds $39 billion of a company with a cartoon hobbit printed inside its hardware, and not one of them has ever mentioned him.

So why does it trade against NVDA?
Because Robinhood Chain lists NVDA and not CSCO — and because the thesis was never Cisco the stock. Cisco built the ring that moved the packets; NVIDIA builds the machines the models run on, and the two announced their data-center collaboration in February 2024. The network moved data. The GPU makes intelligence. We follow the compute.

Contract — · updated —
The Ring ($C3750) is an independent community token launched through Pons on Robinhood Chain. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Cisco Systems, Inc., NVIDIA Corporation, Robinhood Markets, Inc., the J.R.R. Tolkien Estate, Middle-earth Enterprises, or Warner Bros. "Catalyst", "StackWise" and "Cisco" are trademarks of their respective owner and are referenced only to describe a documented piece of hardware history; the board photograph is user-submitted documentation of that hardware. The token is not equity-backed, not collateralised, and confers no ownership, revenue participation, profit share, dividend, or investment interest. Routing the creator fee back to holders is an intention of this project, operated by us — it is not a feature of the Pons protocol, not automatic, and not a promise of income. Live figures on this page are read directly from the launch's own contracts on Robinhood Chain; verify everything in the Pons interface before trading. Nothing here is investment advice.
