UNCX August Recap

Launching a token is not just about deploying a contract. It is about ensuring liquidity, distribution, and sustainability are managed in ways that earn and maintain community trust. Without this foundation, even the most innovative ideas risk losing momentum.

At UNCX, we are committed to giving builders the infrastructure they need to succeed from the very beginning. That means tools that secure liquidity, enable transparent distribution, and integrate directly into the platforms where users already interact.

In August, we advanced on all of these fronts. We released a toolkit for Arbitrum builders, launched Vesting V2, integrated lockers into Sapien, crossed adoption milestones on Solana, and participated in important ecosystem discussions. Our focus remained on strengthening the foundations of DeFi.

Arbitrum DeFi Toolkit

Arbitrum continues to be one of the most active networks for DeFi builders. Every day new teams launch projects, explore liquidity opportunities, and expand the possibilities of decentralized finance. Yet with this growth come familiar challenges that every project must face.

How can liquidity be secured so that it is not removed without warning? How can tokens be distributed in a way that is both fair and transparent? And how can trust be established with communities from the very first day?

The UNCX Arbitrum Toolkit was created to answer these questions and provide a single, unified solution for builders. It combines the essential infrastructure that every project needs in order to succeed:

  • Liquidity locks that ensure community funds cannot be suddenly withdrawn. By committing liquidity transparently, projects demonstrate stability and long-term alignment with their users.
  • Token vesting infrastructure that allows teams to design predictable release schedules. This clarity prevents uncertainty, reduces volatility, and ensures that all stakeholders understand when and how tokens will enter circulation.
  • Launch infrastructure optimized for Arbitrum, giving builders access to tools designed specifically for the network’s environment. It helps projects deploy efficiently and with fewer risks, while aligning with the standards of the wider Arbitrum ecosystem.

By unifying these features in one place, UNCX allows projects to avoid relying on fragmented services or multiple external providers. Instead of piecing together solutions, builders can access a complete toolkit that is consistent, reliable, and trusted by the community.

For projects, this means faster time to market and greater confidence in their launch. For communities, it means verifiable, on-chain commitments to security, transparency, and sustainability that establish trust from the very first day.

Vesting V2 on EVMs

Distribution often defines a project’s credibility. Communities and investors watch closely to see how tokens are released over time, and the choices teams make here can have long-lasting effects. If schedules are too rigid, projects may struggle to adapt to growth opportunities or partnerships. If schedules are too loose, trust can erode quickly and market stability can be put at risk. What is needed is a balance, structure that provides clarity, combined with flexibility that allows ecosystems to evolve.

In August, we launched Vesting V2, a major upgrade now live across EVMs, designed specifically to address these challenges.

The upgrade introduces:

  • Flexible release schedules that can follow linear unlocks, cliff-based models, monthly cycles, or entirely custom intervals. This allows each project to shape its distribution to match its unique roadmap and community needs.
  • NFT-based vesting streams where every stream is represented as a non-fungible token. These streams can be transferred, cancelled, or upgraded with top-ups, giving projects far greater control and adaptability over time.
  • Support for mass distribution through CSV imports, making it possible to apply vesting curves at scale. This is especially useful for projects with large communities, ensuring that even high-volume distributions remain transparent and manageable.

With Vesting V2, projects of every scale, from emerging teams to established protocols, gain the ability to design distribution systems that align with their ecosystem’s long-term vision. Everything remains fully on-chain, public, and verifiable, so communities can track release schedules with confidence.

Integration with Sapien

Liquidity is the foundation of every DeFi market. It creates the conditions for trading, price discovery, and ecosystem growth. But if liquidity can be withdrawn without notice, communities face uncertainty and confidence is quickly undermined. For projects, this risk can make it harder to build momentum; for users, it can reduce participation and limit trust.

In August, we expanded our reach by integrating UNCX lockers directly into the Sapien app. Sapien provides its users with a social and financial environment, and by embedding lockers natively within the app, we make liquidity protection part of the natural user experience. Instead of navigating external platforms or additional steps, projects and users can now secure liquidity in the same environment where they already engage.

With this integration, every lock is:

  • Executed through a single flow and contract, reducing complexity and making the process intuitive for teams and users alike.
  • Permanent and on-chain, ensuring that once liquidity is locked, it remains committed to the protocol in a transparent and immutable way.
  • Publicly verifiable, allowing anyone in the community to confirm the status of liquidity without relying on centralized reporting or third-party trust.

For Sapien users, it means liquidity commitments are no longer an abstract concept, they are a visible and verifiable part of their everyday experience.

$2M TVL on Solana Lockers

Adoption is best measured not by announcements but by actual usage. In August, UNCX lockers on Raydium crossed an important milestone by surpassing $2M in total value locked. This achievement reflects the growing confidence that Solana projects and communities are placing in our infrastructure.

What makes this milestone especially meaningful is not only the amount locked but the way the lockers function on Solana. Unlike conventional approaches where liquidity becomes idle once secured, UNCX lockers allow liquidity to remain productive. Even while funds are locked, users can continue to claim the trading fees generated by their positions.

This creates a dual benefit:

  • Security for communities, since liquidity remains committed and visible on-chain.
  • Ongoing utility for users, who retain access to yield and incentives while maintaining those commitments.

By combining these two outcomes, projects no longer need to choose between protecting their ecosystems and enabling growth. Communities can trust that liquidity is safeguarded, while still benefiting from the economic activity it generates.

The $2M milestone is only the beginning. It demonstrates that Solana users value solutions where reliability and yield can coexist, and it sets the stage for broader adoption as more projects recognize the advantages of this model.

Spaces with Bitrock & Messier

In a multi-chain environment, ecosystems advance through open discussion and the exchange of ideas. Growth depends on understanding how different networks approach scalability, how tools evolve, and how infrastructure supports projects across their lifecycle.

In August, UNCX participated in a Space with @BitRockChain and @MessierM87, contributing to a conversation on what makes ecosystems sustainable in the long term.

The discussion explored:

  • Bitrock’s vision for scalability, centered on building an EVM-compatible chain designed to handle higher throughput efficiently.
  • Messier’s expansion of DeFi and NFT tools, showing how diverse marketplaces and utilities are shaping new user experiences.
  • UNCX’s infrastructure role, demonstrating how liquidity locks, vesting, and launch tooling provide reliability from token deployment through to long-term adoption.

By taking part in these discussions, UNCX emphasizes the importance of infrastructure that remains verifiable and reliable across every stage of a token’s journey.

Looking Ahead To September

August focused on the essentials. We strengthened token distribution through Vesting V2, made liquidity locks more accessible with in-app integration, and saw adoption milestones that validate the demand for secure infrastructure.

September is about momentum. Our efforts will turn to scaling this progress and ensuring that the tools we provide remain adaptable across chains and ecosystems.
