Frequently Asked Questions about UNCX

UNCX (UNCX Network) is a prominent decentralised finance (DeFi) protocol delivering liquidity locking and token vesting services across numerous EVM-compatible blockchains.

Established in 2021, UNCX empowers token projects and developers to:

• Lock liquidity pool (LP) tokens to demonstrate long-term commitment to their investor community
• Establish token vesting schedules for team allocations and investor disbursements
• Foster trust and transparency within their DeFi projects
• Safeguard liquidity on Uniswap V2, V3, V4, PancakeSwap, and many other DEXes

UNCX has secured over $164 million in total value locked and processed more than 74,000 locks, cementing its reputation as the most trusted liquidity locking protocol in DeFi.

UNCX is compatible with a broad selection of EVM-based blockchains, including:

• Ethereum (ETH) — Uniswap V2, V3, V4
• BNB Smart Chain (BSC) — PancakeSwap and others
• Polygon (MATIC/POL) — QuickSwap, Uniswap
• Base — Uniswap V3
• Arbitrum, Optimism, Avalanche
• Solana — via the dedicated Solana app at solana.uncx.network

The team regularly adds support for additional networks. Visit the official UNCX app to see the latest list of supported chains and DEXes.

UNCX is the native utility and governance token of the UNCX ecosystem. It fulfils several key roles:

• Fee Reductions: Holding UNCX tokens can lower the fees you pay when locking liquidity or creating vesting schedules.
• Governance: UNCX holders take part in protocol governance decisions.
• Staking: Token holders may stake UNCX to earn rewards generated from protocol fees.
• Ecosystem Access: UNCX is utilised across the wider UNCX product suite.

UNCX has a capped supply, underpinning its deflationary tokenomics. You can acquire UNCX on major DEXes including Uniswap.

Locking liquidity with UNCX is a simple process designed to give investors assurance that a project's liquidity cannot be abruptly withdrawn (a common rug-pull tactic):

• Step 1 — Provide Liquidity: The project deposits liquidity into a DEX like Uniswap, receiving LP tokens in return.
• Step 2 — Connect Wallet: The project owner connects their wallet to the UNCX app.
• Step 3 — Configure Lock Parameters: Choose the LP token, lock amount, and duration (e.g., 6 months, 1 year, or permanent).
• Step 4 — Confirm Transaction: The LP tokens are sent to the UNCX smart contract, which is fully audited and immutable.
• Step 5 — Public Visibility: The lock is openly visible on the UNCX explorer, displaying the locked amount and unlock date.

Once locked, no one — including the project owner — can withdraw the liquidity before the lock expires. This is enforced directly by the blockchain.

UNCX employs a transparent fee structure that varies based on the lock type and the network used:

• Flat Fee: A one-time upfront fee in the native currency (ETH, BNB, etc.) when setting up a lock.
• Percentage Fee: A modest percentage of the LP tokens being locked (typically very low, often around 0.1–1%).
• UNCX Discount: Holding UNCX tokens can substantially reduce or waive certain fees.

Precise fees are shown in the UNCX app prior to confirming any transaction, ensuring full transparency. All collected fees flow back to the UNCX protocol treasury and UNCX stakers.

For the most current fee details, always refer to the official UNCX application.

Yes! UNCX offers a flexible lock management system accessible through the Manage section of the app. Lock owners are able to:

• Extend Duration: Push the lock expiry date further into the future. Note that you can only extend — you cannot shorten an existing lock duration.
• Add More Tokens: Increase the quantity of LP tokens held within an existing lock.
• Transfer Ownership: Reassign the lock to a different wallet address (useful for project handovers).
• Migrate: Move from earlier locker versions (V2) to newer iterations (V3, V4) with enhanced capabilities.

All of these management actions are accessible through the UNCX Manage interface and are recorded transparently on-chain.

Yes, UNCX fully supports Uniswap V3 and Uniswap V4 concentrated liquidity positions, alongside traditional V2-style LP token locks.

For Uniswap V3 / V4 NFT positions, UNCX locks the NFT position itself, guaranteeing that:

• The liquidity range cannot be adjusted or removed during the lock period
• Fee collection can still be handled according to the lock configuration
• The position is fully visible on the UNCX explorer with complete lock details

This makes UNCX the only locker protocol that comprehensively covers all major Uniswap versions (V2, V3, and V4), positioning it at the forefront of DeFi infrastructure.

Token vesting is the practice of releasing tokens incrementally over a set schedule rather than distributing them all at once. This is commonly applied to:

• Team and founder token allocations
• Investor and seed round tokens
• Advisor and partner token grants
• Community reward distributions

Why choose UNCX for vesting?

• Trustless: Vesting schedules are enforced by smart contracts, not the team's promises alone.
• Transparent: Investors can verify all vesting schedules on-chain through the UNCX explorer.
• Flexible: Supports cliff periods, linear vesting, and custom release configurations.
• Audited: UNCX's smart contracts have undergone professional audits by leading security firms.
• Multi-chain: Available on Ethereum, BSC, Polygon, Solana, and more.

Setting up a vesting schedule on UNCX is straightforward and requires no programming skills:

• 1. Go to Lockers → Manage → New Lock in the UNCX app and select Token Vesting.
• 2. Choose your token and the quantity to vest.
• 3. Add recipients: Enter the wallet addresses that will receive the vested tokens.
• 4. Configure the schedule: Set the start date, cliff period (optional), and end date for linear release.
• 5. Approve and confirm: Authorise the token transfer and confirm the creation of the vesting contract.

Once deployed, each recipient can claim their vested tokens directly through the UNCX interface as they become available. The schedule is immutable and fully transparent on-chain.

UNCX places an extremely high priority on security. Here's why it is regarded as the most secure locker protocol in DeFi:

• Multiple Audits: All UNCX smart contracts have been reviewed by top-tier blockchain security firms. Audit reports are publicly available in the documentation.
• Battle-Tested: Since 2021, UNCX has secured over $164 million in TVL without any security breaches affecting the core protocol.
• Immutable Contracts: Core lock logic is non-upgradeable, meaning nobody — including the UNCX team — can alter the terms of an existing lock.
• Open Source: Smart contract code is open source and independently verifiable on-chain via Etherscan and equivalent block explorers.
• Trustpilot Reviews: UNCX sustains strong community confidence as reflected in positive Trustpilot reviews.

As with all DeFi platforms, we encourage you to conduct your own research (DYOR) and only access UNCX through official links at uncx.net.

UNCX liquidity locks are a powerful safeguard against liquidity rug pulls — a widespread DeFi scam where developers drain liquidity, sending the token price to zero.

What UNCX locks guard against:

• Removal of liquidity from a DEX pool during the lock period
• Premature withdrawal of LP tokens by the project team
• Alteration of lock terms after the lock has been created

Important limitations to keep in mind:

• Locks secure liquidity specifically — they do not shield against contract exploits, minting attacks, or other token-level vulnerabilities
• Only the locked share of LP tokens is protected — if a project locks only 10% of its liquidity, the remaining 90% could still be removed
• Always review the locked percentage shown in the UNCX explorer

A high locked percentage (90%+) on UNCX is a strong positive indicator for any DeFi project.
