# Frequently Asked Questions

**1. What is UniChain Launchpad?**

UniChain Launchpad is a decentralized platform built on Uniswap’s Layer 2 blockchain, Unichain. It allows developers to create tokens, lock team tokens, and secure liquidity provider (LP) tokens. The platform's goal is to offer seamless and secure token launches with tools that foster trust and transparency in the DeFi space.

**2. What is $UNIPAD?**

$UNIPAD is the native utility token of the UniChain Launchpad ecosystem. It is used to pay for platform services such as token creation and liquidity locking, access premium features, and participate in governance through voting on platform upgrades and policy changes.

**3. How does UniChain Launchpad simplify token creation?**

UniChain Launchpad provides a user-friendly interface that allows developers to easily create tokens on Unichain. The platform supports customizable parameters such as token supply, decimals, and governance functions. It also leverages Unichain’s EVM compatibility, enabling developers to use familiar tools like Solidity.

**4. What are team token locks, and why are they important?**

Team token locks are mechanisms that allow project teams to lock a portion of their tokens for a specific period. This ensures long-term commitment to the project and prevents early token sales, helping build trust with investors and reducing the risk of "rug pulls."

**5. What are LP token locks?**

LP token locks are mechanisms that allow DeFi projects to lock liquidity provider (LP) tokens for a predetermined period. Locking LP tokens ensures that liquidity remains secure in decentralized exchanges (DEXs) and cannot be prematurely withdrawn, safeguarding the project's liquidity pools.

**6. How does UniChain Launchpad ensure security?**

UniChain Launchpad prioritizes security through several mechanisms:

* **Smart Contract Audits:** All smart contracts are audited by leading security firms to identify and fix vulnerabilities.
* **Public Verification:** Token locks (team and LP tokens) are verifiable on Unichain’s public blockchain, ensuring transparency.
* **Timelocks:** Projects can set specific unlock times for funds, reducing the risk of unauthorized access.

**7. What role does $UNIPAD play in governance?**

$UNIPAD holders can participate in the governance of UniChain Launchpad. By staking $UNIPAD, they can vote on platform proposals, changes to fees, new features, and ecosystem partnerships. This decentralized governance ensures that the community plays a key role in shaping the platform’s future.

**8. How can I create a token on UniChain Launchpad?**

To create a token on UniChain Launchpad, follow these steps:

1. Set up your wallet on Unichain (e.g., MetaMask).
2. Fund your wallet with the necessary Unichain tokens.
3. Use the UniChain Launchpad interface to input your token parameters (supply, decimals, minting/burning options, etc.).
4. Confirm the transaction, and your token will be deployed on the Unichain network.

**9. What are the costs involved in using UniChain Launchpad?**

The main costs involved are:

* **Token Creation Fee:** Paid in $UNIPAD for launching a new token on Unichain.
* **Token Locking Fees:** For locking team or LP tokens, a fee is charged in $UNIPAD. The exact costs will depend on the features you use and the specific parameters of your token or liquidity pool.

**10. How does UniChain Launchpad enhance DeFi liquidity management?**

UniChain Launchpad provides secure and transparent locking mechanisms for liquidity provider (LP) tokens, ensuring that liquidity remains stable and accessible in decentralized exchanges. This prevents premature withdrawals and helps DeFi projects maintain liquidity, which is critical for the health of decentralized finance ecosystems.

**11. Can I launch a token across multiple blockchains with UniChain Launchpad?**

Yes, UniChain Launchpad plans to support cross-chain token launches. This feature will enable developers to deploy their tokens on multiple blockchains, providing greater flexibility and access to liquidity across different ecosystems.

**12. What are the advantages of using UniChain as the underlying blockchain?**

Unichain offers several advantages, including:

* **Low Transaction Fees:** Being a Layer 2 solution, Unichain reduces the cost of transactions, making it cost-effective for token creation and liquidity management.
* **EVM Compatibility:** Unichain is fully compatible with Ethereum’s Virtual Machine (EVM), enabling developers to use familiar tools and frameworks like Solidity.
* **Fast Transactions:** Transactions on Unichain are processed much faster than on Ethereum Layer 1, making it ideal for DeFi applications and token launches.

**13. How do I lock team or LP tokens on UniChain Launchpad?**

Locking tokens is simple:

1. Choose whether you want to lock team tokens or LP tokens.
2. Set the parameters for the lock, including the amount of tokens and the lock duration.
3. Confirm the transaction, and your tokens will be locked securely until the unlock time is reached.

**14. Is there a roadmap for UniChain Launchpad?**

Yes, the roadmap includes several key phases:

* **Phase 1:** Launch of token creation and locking functionalities, and the release of $UNIPAD.
* **Phase 2:** Expansion of the platform’s features, including new partnerships and governance functionalities.
* **Phase 3:** Integration with cross-chain features, DeFi protocols, and advanced liquidity incentives.

**15. How do I get started with UniChain Launchpad?**

To get started:

1. **Set up a wallet** on Unichain, such as MetaMask.
2. **Fund your wallet** with Unichain tokens to cover fees.
3. Visit the **UniChain Launchpad interface** to create your token or lock tokens. For more detailed instructions, check out our How to Get Started Guide.

**16. What are staking rewards on UniChain Launchpad?**

Users who stake $UNIPAD tokens on the platform will be eligible for rewards. These rewards are distributed to incentivize long-term holding and platform participation. Stakers can also participate in governance and vote on important decisions regarding the platform.

**17. How does UniChain Launchpad promote transparency?**

All token creations, team token locks, and liquidity locks are recorded on Unichain’s public blockchain, where they can be easily verified. This ensures that all actions taken on the platform are transparent and accessible to the community and investors.

**18. What is the role of governance in UniChain Launchpad?**

Governance in UniChain Launchpad is community-driven. $UNIPAD holders can submit proposals and vote on key platform decisions such as upgrades, fee changes, and new feature implementations. This decentralized governance model ensures that the platform evolves according to the needs of its users.
