Using Unicrypt to Build Investor Confidence in Your DeFi Project

David Hamilton • December 20, 2020

The popular liquidity locking platform Unicrypt continues to gain momentum in the market. This growth can be attributed to a combination of factors ranging from the emergence of DeFi platforms to new functionalities such as yield farming protocols. Today, Unicrypt serves a vital role in building investor confidence. 

 

Platforms such as Unicrypt offer consumer protections in the form of a liquidity locking mechanism. This system allows new projects entering the market to reduce "rug pulls" in the sector. Rug pull is a term used to describe a project that suddenly removes funds from its liquidity pool without warning. Whenever this occurs, investors lose their profits and, in many instances, their initial investment.

 

Sadly, these problems have hit a fevered pitch recently. The introduction of DeFi (decentralized finance) has led to a steady flow of new platforms entering the space. Each of these platforms introduces new earning mechanisms and promises higher ROIs than the next. Unfortunately, not all of these platforms are legit. The market has already seen its share of notable rug pulls to date.

 

DeFi Exit Scams Run Wild

DeFi's relatively new nature and technical aspects make it ideal for scamsters to prey on uninformed investors. A quick glimpse into the market reveals that DeFi is a scary place for those who cannot determine what projects are worthy of your investment. 

 

In September, alarm bells rang after the China-based auditing firm, SlowMist, revealed a liquidity mining DeFi project based on EOS called Emerald Mine (EMD) had moved user tokens. Specifically, the report showed $2.5 million in "locked" crypto was transferred to private accounts. Sadly, this crypto was never really locked, and investors paid the price.

 

Another highly publicized rug pull occurred this month. The platform, DistX, left investors high and dry after the founder bailed the ship. Before he left the project, he made some withdrawals from the project liquidity pool. Shortly following these revelations, the project’s pool dropped from a $1.5M market cap to just over $15K. In essence, the project was worthless, and all investors lost big time.

 

Unicrypt to the Rescue

Unicrypt reduces these risks through the introduction of proprietary liquidity lockers. Think of these lockers’ kind-of-like mini time-locked safes. The developers agree to lock their liquidity in these smart contracts for an agreed time. In many instances, this time can be years. Since Unicrypt handles the smart contract, these projects have no way to remove this liquidity once applied. 

 

In this way, Unicrypt builds a new level of confidence in the market. The added securities gained from these locking mechanisms are enough to provide investors with peace-of-mind. It also gives legitimate projects in the sector an avenue to proceed that’s not associated with the rug pulls occurring every week. 

 

As you would expect, the prospect of easing investor concerns is a significant plus to developers. Consequently, Unicrypt has become the most used automated liquidity lockers in the market. There are already over 2500+ Unicrypt lockers in use today. These lockers hold approximately $52.43 Million locked liquidity at this time. 

 

How Do I Use Unicrypt to Boost Confidence in My Project?

It’s easy to utilize Unicrypt to provide investors with more confidence in your project. The first thing to understand is that Unicrypt is designed to compliment Uniswap liquidity pool actions. Unicrypt rewards farmers for providing liquidity to Uniswap using UNCX and UNCL pairs. 


All developers will need first to seed a market to launch a pool on Uniswap. Seeding a market requires that the paired tokens both be deposited in the liquidity pool. Once you launch a pool using Unicrypt's locking mechanisms, you or anyone else will not have access to these funds until completing the locking period. There are no exceptions to this rule. In this way, investors know that you can’t circumvent these protections. 

 

Unicrypt Browser

The Unicrypt browser provides Uniswap users with some significant advantages in the market. For one, it shows what liquidity pools have their contracts locked. This way, users only invest in top-quality projects with long term success in mind. Also, this strategy ensures that developers who utilize Unicrypt receive a premier audience. 

 

Multi-Token Strategy

Unicrypt relies on a multi-token approach to handle the network’s functions. The UNCX token is the utility token that powers new liquidity pools. New projects can decide between two different fee structures. If you are a larger project, there are options geared towards your requirements. You can pay 100 UNCX tokens +0.8% of the liquidity tokens locked. 


Notably, these 100 UNCX tokens are burnt. This strategy creates a deflationary mechanism within the ecosystem. Deflationary protocols are critical because they allow developers to support the project token’s value.

 

Most projects will fall under the primary fee structure. That is a flat fee of 1 ETH + 1% of the liquidity tokens locked. This option allows liquidity pools for small and medium projects to take flight without high startup costs.

 

Yield Farming Tokens

The second token operating in the Unicrypt ecosystem is the UNCL token. Farmers receive their rewards in this token. Specifically, Unicrypt offers Yield farming-as-a-service Dapp. The platform supports the staking of the UNiv2 token via its yield farming protocols. 

 

Yield farming is seen by many as a better alternative to trading cryptocurrency for many reasons. Primarily, yield farming requires little research compared to trading. Users simply lock their crypto in farming pools and receive rewards for their efforts. Best of all, your rewards get paid out block by block. Unicrypt has $790,000 total locked in farms currently.

 

Unicrypt to Expand

Unicrypt’s latest expansion is a step in the right direction. The team seeks to launch a fully automated token pre-sale protocol next year. Additionally, developers stated that they intend to expand their staking Dapp to support any ERC-20 token by Q1 2021.

The launch of Echo Exchange introduces not just a new trading venue but a broader architecture for digital asset management. The project combines yield generation, community governance, and structured custody into a unified ecosystem.  As part of this infrastructure, Echo brings forward a solution designed to address one of the industry’s most persistent challenges: asset security in uncertain jurisdictions. Echo is backed by its legal designation as a Virtual Asset Service Provider under the Isle of Man’s regulatory regime. The ecosystem integrates a Protected Cell Company (PCC) structure called Echo Elite. This is an optional but pivotal component for users seeking structured digital asset custody tied to enforceable legal protections. What Echo Is Announcing As of May 2025, the Echo Exchange will be live. This launch will include: EchoX, a centralized exchange focused on accessibility and onboarding Echo’s real-yield model, distributing platform fees to token holders in USDC The initial release of Echo Elite, a PCC-based framework for asset custody The public sale of the ECHO Token, the ecosystem’s native governance and yield-bearing asset While many exchanges emphasize front-end interfaces or token incentives, the Echo’s strategy is different. The announcement centers on the full-stack design of its ecosystem - particularly how legal infrastructure underpins user protections. Introducing Echo Elite: Structured Custody Echo Elite is Echo’s most compliance-centric module. It introduces Protected Cell structures, a mechanism traditionally used in finance to isolate client assets legally and operationally. Within the Echo ecosystem, user accounts can opt into a custody model that offers greater legal clarity and jurisdictional insulation. PCCs enable the separation of Echo’s own operating capital from user funds. This becomes increasingly important as tokenized asset classes enter the platform’s offerings in later phases. This also applies to real-world asset (RWA) representations like stocks or real estate. The approach reflects a broader theme: Echo’s attempt to bridge blockchain functionality with traditional financial safeguards. Real Yield and Exchange Fee Sharing Security is only one part of Echo’s user-facing model. The ECHO Token acts as the backbone of a real-yield mechanism, wherein: 50% of all trading fees from both EchoX and Echo Pro are distributed daily to token holders in USDC. 10% of platform revenue on a daily basis will be used for buying and burning ECHO tokens. The strategy aims to gradually decrease circulating supply. This model will be non-inflationary. There will be no staking rewards of synthetics or emission of tokens. Yield will be linked straight to the platform's actual usage. This feature will make the yield more predictable and sustainable than most incentive designs in the digital asset ecosystem. Participation is simple: users activate yield by transferring tokens into a dedicated savings account inside their Echo dashboard. Funds remain liquid and accessible. The Token Structure Echo’s tokenomics are deliberately conservative. Key figures include: Total supply: 1 billion ECHO Burn target: 500 million (deflation ends at this point) Public sale allocation: 2% Community Foundation: 30% (non-transferable and permanently locked) Team allocation: 20% (long vesting schedule) Liquidity allocation: 15% Remaining tokens divided across marketing, seed investors, and gamified whitelist initiatives Importantly, the Community Foundation - which holds the largest share - operates under a binding legal obligation to never sell its tokens. Rather, it only exists on yield, which gets invested in governance-sanctioned ecologics like education, collaborations, and product development. The design intends to discourage speculation as a first point. Also, it aims to encourage long-term alignment between platform success and the fate of the token holders. A Platform Built for Traders Echo’s design consists of two interfaces: EchoX, a consumer-friendly exchange, focuses on simplicity, pair trading using stablecoins, and seamless execution. It addresses first-time users and inexperienced traders not interested in complicated trading schemes. Echo Pro, launching in Phase 2 (Q3 2025), provides advanced features for trading: charting tools, stop-loss, leverage, and API connectivity for institutional and power users. Both sites, in spite of their varying user interfaces and user bases, share a common Scala-based matching platform. This tech is optimized for concurrency, throughput, and speed. They also share backend infrastructure written in Go, with front-end deployment via Next.js for a responsive and consistent user experience. The Technology Behind the Custody Security isn’t limited to user-facing features. Echo’s wallet architecture employs: Multi-Party Computation (MPC): for distributing key control among several parties Tiered wallet models: hot, warm, and cold storage Hardware wallet compatibility Biometric access and passkey authentication AML/KYC procedures are managed by Amazon Cognito, which simplifies user identity verification. The goal is to maintain high compliance standards without degrading onboarding speed. In fact, the latter is a known bottleneck in exchanges that rely on manual reviews. Together, these systems support Echo’s goal of creating an ecosystem where users can interact securely without compromising on usability. Governance and Jurisdiction Governance within Echo relies on both ownership of the tokens and clear jurisdictions. Token holders are able to: Voting on how funds are spent in the Community Foundation. Develop and rank new product features. Approve partnerships and listings of tokens through a formal proposal procedure. But what distinguishes Echo from other projects is that it relies on legal entities to enforce these institutions. It doesn't utilize symbolic DAOs for governance or soft consensus. Rather, decisions, particularly those regarding funding of the ecosystem, are carried out by a foundation. This entity possesses a well-defined charter and binding fiduciary responsibilities. The approach emphasizes establishing trust with those who are not willing to engage with DAO-based systems that lack enforceability. Echo’s Roadmap Rollout for Echo is phased deliberately to maintain product stability: Phase 1 (May 2025): During this phase, there will be the EchoX launch, the ECHO token ICO, and the soft launch of Echo Elite. Phase 2 (Q3, 2025): Following this, there will be efforts to accomplish the full Echo Pro launch. We must include mention of trading bot implementation, community governance platform, and IEO launch. Phase 3 (2026): Derivatives trading, social trading, inclusion of real-world assets, tokenized mutual products, and securities Phase 4 (2027): Full RWA brokerage capabilities, integrated neobank products, and payment rails. All the phases leverage the preceding one by adding platform sophistication. Bottom Line Echo’s product lineup combines high-frequency trading, user real yield, and solutions that take jurisdictions into account. Echo sees itself as a platform where economic incentives and legal architecture converge. With its rollout, Echo joins a small group of initiatives that are geared towards developing new tools for trading. The team is focused on reconsidering the function of regulation and structure in crypto asset custodianship.

Echo , a groundbreaking centralized cryptocurrency exchange, has announced that it will officially launch globally on May 15, 2025. The much-expected event is set to be a pivotal occasion for digital asset trading as Echo aims to establish a new industry standard. The community-centric platform promises a seamless user experience, institutional-grade security, and an ecosystem-driven approach.  On the same date of the launch, Echo will conduct a public sale of its native ECHO token, with 2% of the total token supply available exclusively through the platform. The proceeds should boost the project’s development following successful early funding rounds that already secured $2.5 million in support from strategic investors. Echo stands out from other centralized crypto exchanges through its ecosystem-focused model. More precisely, it is designed to thrive on users' participation, who, in turn, benefit directly from the platform's growth and activity. The exchange proposes a transparent and intuitive environment for retail and professional traders to navigate safely and efficiently. Sam Dorrer, Chief Executive Officer at Echo, commented on Echo’s community-driven approach: "Our mission is to create a cryptocurrency exchange that truly prioritizes its users. Echo is designed to be more than just a trading platform—it’s a dynamic ecosystem that fosters long-term engagement and participation." Built for Traders by Traders The rapidly evolving digital asset landscape may seem daunting to newcomers. That’s why Echo provides easy navigation features, deep liquidity, and high-speed trade execution to simplify crypto trading for its growing community. Echo does not set entry barriers and accommodates traders of all skills and experience. Beginners can start on EchoX, the platform’s user-friendly centralized exchange. Thanks to the platform's intuitive interface, they can enjoy a smooth initiation to crypto trading. Meanwhile, institutional and seasoned investors can access Echo Pro and its advanced trading tools. The platform's modular design provides real-time analytics, market insights, and strategies to help traders make better-informed decisions. Lastly, Echo charges minimal fees of only 0.1% per transaction, ensuring all casual or high-frequency traders benefit from a competitive fee structure. The ECHO Token The ECHO token is a foundational element of Echo's unique ecosystem. It is designed as a real-yield token on Ethereum and features robust tokenomics, including a fixed total supply of 1 billion tokens. The platform employs a deflationary mechanism for the ECHO token, allocating 10% of the daily revenue from both EchoX and Echo Pro to repurchasing tokens on the open market. It then “burns” the repurchased tokens from circulation to enhance scarcity and potentially ECHO’s value in the long term. ECHO token holders enjoy fee discounts, premium trading tools, and early access to new services. Moreover, they get governance rights. Therefore, they can participate in platform decision-making, such as fund allocation for the Echo Foundation. The latter will be a pool dedicated to funding growth, strategic partnerships, and other governance initiatives. Echo has allocated 2% of the total ECHO token supply for the public sale taking place on May 15, 2025. This controlled release should create scarcity and support upward price momentum while meeting public demand without diluting the token’s overall value. Revenue and Yield Generation Echo Exchange stays true to its community-focused mission by returning some trading fees to ECHO token holders. The platform distributes 50% of the fees generated from EchoX and Echo Pro as stablecoin (USDC) yields. This feature is a fundamental part of the Echo ecosystem, aligning fee generation with user rewards and ensuring the Echo community grows and thrives together with the platform. Security and Compliance Echo employs the industry’s highest security standards, including multi-layered encryption, biometric authentication, robust KYC/AML checks, and institutional-grade wallet infrastructure. These features guarantee maximum protection for Echo users and their assets. Echo operates as a designated business for convertible virtual currency under the Regulatory Framework of the Isle of Man Financial Services Authority. This status enables the platform to provide tax advantages to its EchoElite Traders under the Isle of Man PCC Structure, which means 0% capital gains tax and 0% corporate tax for crypto investments. EchoElite Traders get to keep more of their gains, accelerating the ability to compound their portfolio. The Echo Roadmap The Echo Exchange is set to follow a 3-phase development path plus a series of future integrations: Phase 1 The Launch of EchoX for basic trading and Echo Elite, with the latter providing asset custody under The Isle of Man’s PCC (Protected Cell Companies) structure. The ECHO token public sale takes place on May 15, 2025, simultaneously with the Echo exchange launch. Echo will also launch the Echo Journal to start building helpful content for its community. Phase 2 The introduction of Echo Pro for advanced trading with cutting-edge tools, such as enhanced liquidity and professional-grade functionalities. This phase will also see the expansion of yield generation models, the integration of trading bots, and additional digital asset services. Phase 3 Echo will expand into Real World Assets (RWAs) trading, leveraging tokenization to unlock traditional asset classes. At this stage, the platform will reach full integration of advanced protocols (e.g., peer-to-contract) to enhance collateralized borrowing and lending capabilities. Other planned features and integrations include: Neobank Rails will enable seamless fiat-to-token conversions with integrated banking services. Fractionalized Assets & Multi-Class Asset Choices, such as tokenizing commodities, stocks, and real estate. Collateralized and decentralized lending and borrowing capabilities through the platform’s peer-to-contract protocol. Offshore & Digitized Trust Structures will expand custody solutions via the Echo Elite framework. An Integrated Launchpad supports onboarding promising new projects to further diversify and strengthen the Echo ecosystem. About Echo Echo operates as a Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) for custody and exchange under the Regulatory Framework of the Isle of Man Financial Services Authority. The platform aims to reshape the crypto trading landscape through a user-driven digital asset ecosystem. Echo’s long-term goal is to establish itself as a leader in digital asset management at the intersection of traditional finance and the emerging blockchain-based economy. Echo aims to deliver a community-first trading experience that includes traders of all levels. The platform seeks to empower its members through a robust fee-sharing model, advanced financial tools, daily rewards for token holders, and maximum security for their assets.
