How Unicorn works.

The Unicorn curve is a Raydium LaunchLab bonding curve running under Unicorn's own platform configuration. Buying moves the price up the curve, selling moves it down, and there is always someone to trade with: the curve itself. Unicorn launches coins on this curve only.

Each trade pays a fee. The largest part of it, the platform fee, belongs to the coin's holders: Unicorn collects it, swaps it into the coin's unicorn (a pre-IPO token such as OpenAI or SpaceX, or a tokenized stock such as Nvidia) and sends it to everyone holding the coin, in proportion to what they hold.

Unicorn never has your wallet's keys. It builds transactions and shows you data; every launch and every trade is signed by your own wallet, on your own device. What it does hold is the holders' share of fees on its way to them, in a public rewards vault (see Holder payouts).

1. 01

   The basics

   Name (up to 32 characters), ticker (up to 10) and artwork (PNG, JPEG, GIF or WEBP, up to 5 MB), plus an optional description and links. They are published as the coin's metadata and written on chain at launch; they cannot be changed afterwards.

2. 02

   Pick its unicorn

   Choose the one asset this coin's holders will be paid in, from the catalogue below. This step is required: there is no launch without a unicorn.

3. 03

   Address and dev buy

   Your browser searches for a mint address ending in …uni while you fill in the form, and uses one if it has found it by launch time; otherwise the address is random. You can add an optional dev buy (up to 85 SOL) that executes in the same transaction that creates the coin, before anyone else can buy.

4. 04

   Review and sign

   Unicorn builds the LaunchLab transaction, the new mint's key signs it in your browser, your wallet signs it as creator and fee payer, and it is relayed to Solana. The mint key never leaves your browser.

Launching costs Solana's network fee plus the rent of the accounts the launch creates. Unicorn charges no launch fee. As the creator you earn 0.25% of every curve trade, which you can claim from the coin's page whenever you like.

A coin's unicorn is the asset its holders are paid in. It is chosen from an audited catalogue: every mint address was checked on chain and is fixed in the code, because searching an exchange for “NVDAx” returns dozens of worthless lookalikes. The symbol is only ever a label; the address comes from the catalogue, never from what someone typed.

The distributor pays the network fees of every claim and payout itself. Fees are shown in the trade panel before you sign; nothing is added silently.

1. 01

   Collect

   The platform fee accrues in the Unicorn platform's fee vault on chain. It is claimed into the rewards vault regularly and split across the coins that paid it, in proportion to the fee each coin generated.

2. 02

   Snapshot

   Once a day, at a fixed hour (18:00 UTC by default), a round opens for each coin with anything collected. Every wallet holding the coin is recorded, except the curve and pool accounts, the vault, burn addresses and lock escrows. Your weight is the smaller of your balance when the round opened and when it closed, so buying just before a payout and selling just after earns nothing.

3. 03

   Allocate

   The round is split across wallets in exact proportion to weight. A share too small to send (below 0.004 SOL worth when paid as a token, because opening a token account costs rent) is not lost: it rolls over and keeps adding up until it clears the threshold.

4. 04

   Swap and pay

   The round's SOL is swapped into the coin's unicorn through Jupiter, a token account is opened for anyone who lacks one, and the tokens are sent. A payout is marked paid only once its transaction confirms on chain.

Your vault reads your wallet's public record: every unicorn it has been paid, grouped by asset with its current value, the Unicorn coins it holds and which unicorn each pays, what is still owed to it, and the coins it launched. Nothing to sign; connecting is only how the page learns the address.

What you are paid in is decided by each coin, not by you: hold a coin that pays in OpenAI and your share arrives in OpenAI. To be paid in a different asset, hold a coin that pays in it; Unicorns lists every asset and the coins paying in each.

793.1M of the 1B tokens are sold on the curve. Once the curve has raised 85 SOL it closes and the coin graduates: the raised SOL and the remaining tokens seed a Raydium CPMM pool, where it trades like any other token.

Burned LP can never be withdrawn, so that liquidity stays in the pool for good. Holder payouts are funded by the curve's platform fee: once a coin has graduated its trades happen on the Raydium pool, which does not pay that fee, and what was collected before graduation is still paid out.

On the curve, buys and sells go straight to the LaunchLab program. The amount you will receive is computed with the program's own curve math, not estimated from an API, and the transaction is built by the server, signed by your wallet and relayed. Slippage defaults to 10% (presets 5%, 10%, 25%); if the price moves further before your trade lands, it fails instead of filling worse.

After graduation the curve is closed; the coin's page says so and links to its Raydium pool.

$UNICORN is the official token of Unicorn. Its contract address is 6KCW2zBzq55YNSt1suTWDtzW85Apj3B6GgQ1MoNHQuni. It is on its coin page and in the footer of every page; any other coin using the name is not ours.
