Frequently Asked Questions about UNCX

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

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

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

UNCX has secured over $164 million in total value locked and handled more than 74,000 locks, establishing itself as the most reliable 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 continually adds support for new networks. Check the official UNCX app for the most current 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 vesting tokens.
• Governance: UNCX holders take part in protocol governance decisions.
• Staking: Token holders may stake UNCX to earn a share of protocol fee revenues.
• Ecosystem Access: UNCX is used throughout the wider UNCX product suite.

UNCX has a capped supply, supporting its deflationary tokenomics. You can find 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 pulled (a widespread rug-pull tactic):

• Step 1 — Add Liquidity: The project deposits liquidity into a DEX like Uniswap, receiving LP tokens in exchange.
• Step 2 — Connect Wallet: The project owner connects their wallet to the UNCX app.
• Step 3 — Select Lock Parameters: Choose the LP token, lock amount, and lock duration (e.g., 6 months, 1 year, or permanent).
• Step 4 — Confirm Transaction: The LP tokens are transferred to the UNCX smart contract, which is fully audited and immutable.
• Step 5 — Publicly Visible: The lock appears on the UNCX explorer, showing the locked amount and unlock date for all to see.

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

UNCX operates a clear and transparent fee model that varies by lock type and network:

• Flat Fee: A one-time fee in the native token (ETH, BNB, etc.) upon creating a lock.
• Percentage Fee: A small share of the LP tokens being locked (typically very low, often around 0.1–1%).
• UNCX Discount: Holding UNCX tokens can meaningfully reduce or waive certain fees.

Exact fees are shown in the UNCX app before you confirm any transaction, so there are never any surprises. All collected fees flow back to the UNCX protocol treasury and UNCX stakers.

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

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

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

All management actions are accessible via the UNCX Manage interface and are logged transparently on-chain.

Yes, UNCX fully supports Uniswap V3 and Uniswap V4 concentrated liquidity positions, as well as conventional 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 withdrawn during the lock period
• Fee collection can still be managed in accordance with the lock settings
• The position is fully visible on the UNCX explorer with complete lock details

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

Token vesting is the practice of releasing tokens incrementally over a defined schedule rather than all at once. It is commonly applied to:

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

Why use UNCX for vesting?

• Trustless: Vesting schedules are enforced by smart contracts, not reliant on the team's promises.
• Transparent: Investors can verify all vesting schedules on-chain through the UNCX explorer.
• Flexible: Supports cliff periods, linear vesting, and customised release schedules.
• Audited: UNCX's smart contracts are professionally reviewed by leading security firms.
• Multi-chain: Available on Ethereum, BSC, Polygon, Solana, and beyond.

Setting up a vesting schedule on UNCX is straightforward and requires no coding experience:

• 1. Go to Lockers → Manage → New Lock in the UNCX app and choose Token Vesting.
• 2. Select your token and specify the amount to vest.
• 3. Set recipients: Enter the wallet addresses that will receive the vested tokens.
• 4. Define the schedule: Set a start date, optional cliff period, and end date for linear release.
• 5. Approve and confirm: Approve the token transfer and finalise the vesting contract creation.

After deployment, each recipient can claim their vested tokens directly from the UNCX interface as they become unlocked. The schedule is immutable and fully transparent on-chain.

UNCX places security at the top of its priorities. Here is why it is widely regarded as the safest locker protocol in DeFi:

• Multiple Audits: All UNCX smart contracts have been reviewed by leading 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 incidents tied to the core protocol.
• Immutable Contracts: Core lock logic is non-upgradeable, meaning nobody — not even the UNCX team — can alter the terms of an existing lock.
• Open Source: Smart contract code is open source and verifiable on-chain via Etherscan and equivalent block explorers.
• Trustpilot Reviews: UNCX maintains strong community confidence as reflected in positive Trustpilot reviews.

As always in DeFi, you should conduct your own research (DYOR) and only use official UNCX links via uncxs.com.

UNCX liquidity locks are a powerful defence against liquidity rug pulls — a prevalent DeFi scam where developers drain liquidity, collapsing the token price to zero.

What UNCX locks prevent:

• Withdrawal of liquidity from a DEX pool during the lock period
• Early removal of LP tokens by the project team
• Alteration of lock terms after they have been set

Important limitations to be aware of:

• Locks protect liquidity specifically — they do not guard against contract exploits, minting hacks, or other token-level vulnerabilities
• Only the locked portion of LP tokens is secured — if a project locks just 10% of its liquidity, the remaining 90% could still be withdrawn
• Always verify the locked percentage shown on the UNCX explorer

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