Frequently Asked Questions
What is Unipump?
Unipump is a permissionless coin launchpad on Ethereum. Anyone can launch a token in one transaction. The token is instantly tradeable on Uniswap v4 with no waiting, no graduation, no bonding curve.
How does a launch work?
You pick a name, symbol, fee, and (optionally) a starter buy amount. Submit one transaction. In that single transaction, Unipump:
- Deploys a fresh ERC-20 with a 1 billion fixed supply
- Creates a Uniswap v4 pool for your token paired with ETH
- Adds 100% of the supply as one-sided liquidity
- Burns the LP NFT to a dead address (
0xdEaD) so liquidity is locked forever - Executes your starter buy via the Universal Router
- Registers the pool with the Unipump fee hook so trading fees flow to you
When the transaction confirms, your token is live and tradeable on Uniswap. No second step.
What is the supply of every Unipump token?
Exactly 1,000,000,000 (one billion). Fixed at launch. Cannot be minted or burned later. Every token launched on Unipump has the same supply.
How is liquidity locked?
The Liquidity Position NFT representing the entire pool is sent to the dead address 0x000000000000000000000000000000000000dEaD immediately at launch. No one — including Unipump, including the creator — can withdraw, modify, or remove the liquidity. Ever.
This is enforced by the Ethereum protocol itself. There is no admin function, no time lock, no escrow contract. The NFT is gone.
What fees does Unipump charge?
Two fees:
- A flat 0.002 ETH launch fee when you create a token, paid to the Unipump platform wallet
- A trading fee on every swap that you, the creator, set when you launch (between 0.5% and 10%)
The trading fee splits 60/40 between you and the platform on every trade, forever. There are no other fees.
How do creator fees work?
Every time someone trades your token on Uniswap, the Unipump fee hook takes your chosen fee out of the unspecified output of the swap. 60% accumulates as your claimable balance. 40% accumulates as the platform's claimable balance.
Fees accrue in two currencies depending on the swap direction:
- When someone buys your token with ETH, the fee is collected in your token
- When someone sells your token for ETH, the fee is collected in ETH
You can claim either side at any time from the Claim Fees page.
Why does the fee come in two different currencies?
Uniswap v4 hooks intercept swaps and skim from the "unspecified" side — the side whose amount the trader didn't fix. When a buyer says "I want to spend exactly 1 ETH," the unspecified side is the token they receive. When a seller says "I want to sell exactly 1000 tokens," the unspecified side is the ETH they receive. The hook takes its cut from whichever side is unspecified, which is why both currencies accumulate over time.
Are claims automatic?
No. Fees accumulate in the fee hook contract until you actively claim them. Claims are pull-based for safety — the contract never pushes funds anywhere on its own. Visit the Claim Fees page to withdraw.
Can I change the fee after launch?
No. Every parameter — supply, fee, creator address, hook configuration — is immutable once the launch transaction confirms. This is by design. Tokens launched on Unipump cannot be changed by anyone, including Unipump itself.
Is there a bonding curve?
No. Unipump uses standard Uniswap v4 pools from the very first second of a token's life. No bonding curve, no internal AMM, no graduation event. The only price discovery mechanism is the actual Uniswap pool.
Is there a graduation step?
No. Tokens are tradeable on Uniswap immediately at launch. There is no threshold to cross, no migration, no second step. What you launch is what's live.
Can the team rug?
No, in the strict sense:
- Liquidity is locked at launch (LP NFT burned)
- Contracts have no admin, no owner, no upgrade path
- The fee hook cannot redirect fees, change the split, or freeze claims
- The platform wallet address is set at deployment and is immutable per contract
A creator can still dump their starter buy if they have one, like in any market. But the protocol itself cannot rug.
What chain is Unipump on?
Ethereum mainnet (chain ID 1). No other chains supported at this time.
What's the difference between Unipump and other launchpads?
Most launchpads use a bonding curve and require tokens to "graduate" to a real DEX after hitting a threshold. Unipump skips that — your token is on Uniswap v4 from second one. Unipump also pays you trading fees forever via a v4 hook, which most pads don't.
What if my token has no trading activity yet?
Then there are no fees yet. Fees only accrue when people trade. The fee hook is connected and waiting; the moment volume happens, fees start collecting.
Is Unipump audited?
Audit is in progress before public launch. Until that completes, use at your own risk.
How do I find my launched tokens?
Connect your wallet and visit your profile page. All tokens launched from your address show up there with their current market cap and pending claimable fees.
Where can I see all tokens launched on Unipump?
The Explore page shows every token launched on Unipump, sorted and filterable.
Are token names and images on-chain?
The token's name and symbol are on-chain. Other metadata — image, description, social links — is stored off-chain in our database when you launch.
What happens if Unipump's website goes down?
Your token, its liquidity, and your fees are entirely on-chain. Even if unipump.fund disappears tomorrow, your token keeps trading on Uniswap, your fees keep accumulating in the hook contract, and you can claim them directly via Etherscan.
How do I trade a Unipump token?
Any Uniswap v4 interface works. The official Uniswap app at app.uniswap.org supports v4 pools — paste your token address and trade like any other ERC-20.
Can I add my own liquidity to a pool?
Yes, but it doesn't get the locked-LP guarantee. Anyone can add liquidity to any Uniswap v4 pool. Whoever adds the liquidity owns the LP position and can pull it back out. Only the initial Unipump-created LP is burned.
How are fees split if I launch multiple tokens?
Each pool has its own creator address and fee balance. Fees from your different tokens don't pool together — they're tracked per-pool. The Claim Fees page sums them for display, but each underlying balance is separate on-chain.
What's the platform wallet?
The platform wallet is the Ethereum address that receives Unipump's share of fees and the 0.002 ETH launch fee. It's set at deployment and cannot be changed.
