FAQ
The questions people actually ask, answered without hedging.
Is there a ubi.fun token?
Yes. UBI launched on September 27, 2026, fairlaunched on ubi.fun itself, with no team allocation and 100% of its creator share going to buyback and burn. The only official contract is 0xFA3fFdF775CC3f6ac82Cd258Fb948a8a21e1749e.
You don’t need it to launch, trade, or refer. The holder pool is where UBI matters: starting with the Sep 27, 2026 round, the whole daily holder pool, 24% of the fees from every coin launched before v2 and 13% of the fees from every v2 token (1.5% to 5% fee), goes to eligible UBI holders by balance. Its size depends on trading activity, so a day’s payout can be small or nothing.
What are v3 tokens?
Tokens paired with a real-world asset instead of USDC: gold today, with tokenized stocks next. You still trade them in USDC on ubi.fun; their fees are taken in the asset, and their holders and creators are paid in it. Creators set a buy fee and a sell fee (1.5% to 5% each), an optional anti-snipe fee, a buyback of up to 83%, and holder dividends of at least a sixth of the creator stream. See v3 tokens.
I hold UBI. Why haven’t I earned anything yet?
Three likely reasons. Each day’s round pays out after the 00 UTC close and a 1-hour on-chain timelock, so today’s fees reach your wallet early the next UTC day, usually by 01 UTC. Your wallet may be a smart-contract wallet such as a Safe, which isn’t eligible (regular wallets upgraded to EIP-7702 smart accounts, like FOMO and Bitget Wallet accounts, count from the Sep 28, 2026 round). Or your entitlement is still under the $0.01 floor and is accumulating until it clears the floor. Either way, nothing is lost; entitlements are cumulative. Holding other ubi.fun coins does not earn from the pool.
Can a creator rug a coin launched here?
Not through the market: liquidity is locked in the protocol, and there is no pull path. A creator can still sell their own holdings like anyone else (and, for tokens launched before v2, their revenue NFT), watch supply concentration like you would anywhere.
What a creator exit doesn’t change: the economics are written into the coin, not into the creator. As long as the coin trades, its fees keep flowing to the holder pool, and any buyback keeps buying and burning. A creator selling ends their involvement, not the coin’s income.
Are ubi.fun tokens mintable? What do token scanners show?
No. Every token on ubi.fun has a fixed supply, minted once at launch, and nothing can ever mint more: 100 billion for a USDC-paired token, UBI included, and 1 billion for a v3 token. The checks token scanners such as QuickIntel run all come back the same way:
- Not mintable. Only the launch contract that created a token can mint it, and it does so exactly once, when the token is created. There is no other mint path.
- No owner control over balances. Tokens have no blacklist, no pause, no freeze and no way to move or change anyone’s balance. (A v3 token’s pair asset is a separate token with its own issuer’s rules: see What to know about XAUm.)
- No transfer tax. Sending tokens between wallets is free. Trades pay the token’s swap fee, shown on its page and included in every quote: 1.25% on tokens launched before v2, 1.5% to 5% on v2 tokens, and a buy fee and a sell fee of 1.5% to 5% each on v3 tokens, set at launch.
- Not upgradeable. Each token is a fixed minimal clone whose code can never change, and the launch contracts behind it are not upgradeable proxies.
- Liquidity locked. Liquidity sits inside the protocol, and no function lets anyone, the creator or us, withdraw it.
- Sellable. Anyone can sell at any time, except during an optional anti-sniper window chosen at launch: buys then fill at the launch price, and selling opens as soon as the window ends. v3 tokens can be sold from the first block; their anti-snipe fee applies to buys only.
You can check each of these on the contracts yourself: see Contracts.
What if I launch a coin and only I trade it?
You’ll pay the full swap fee on every trade and get back at most your own creator share, your holders’ dividends on your own balance, your own referral cut, and your UBI share of the holder portion. That guarantees a net loss. It inflates your chart’s volume and nothing else.
What are holder dividends?
Tokens launched with a creator vault pay their own holders a share of every trading fee, in USDC, through the token’s creator vault. The creator picks the trading fee (1.5% to 5%) and the holders’ share (at least a sixth of the creator’s earnings) at launch, permanently. Your dividends drip in over 24 hours and you withdraw them on the token’s page. Older tokens, including UBI, don’t have one. See Creator vaults and holder dividends.
Why do some tokens charge more than 1.25%?
Tokens launched with a creator vault choose their trading fee at launch, from 1.5% to 5%, and part of it goes to their own holders. Whatever the fee, it splits 77% to the token’s creator side, 13% to UBI holders and 10% to the protocol (the v2 fee split). The fee is shown on each token’s page and included in every quote. Tokens launched before that date stay at 1.25%.
How do ubi.fun’s fees compare with other launchpads?
At the same cost to the trader, ubi.fun keeps less and pays creators more. On a trade that costs 3% on both platforms, per $10M traded, ubi.fun keeps $30,000 and the creator side gets $231,000, while Argus keeps $90,000 and its creator side gets $210,000; ubi.fun also pays $39,000 to UBI holders. Watch the label: an Argus “3% tax” costs traders 4%, because a 1% base fee is added to it. Every figure, with its contract source and the date it was read, is in How ubi.fun compares.
Why is my new coin’s chart flat?
Either its anti-sniper window is active, everyone pays the same fixed price until it ends, which is the point, or it simply hasn’t traded yet. v3 tokens have no fixed-price window, so their charts move from the first trade.
Do I need a special wallet?
A regular browser-extension wallet or anything reachable over WalletConnect. Arc uses USDC for gas, so you need a little USDC on Arc rather than ETH. Note that smart-contract wallets such as Safes aren’t eligible for the holder pool. Regular wallets are, including ones your wallet app upgraded to an EIP-7702 smart account, as FOMO and Bitget Wallet do (from the Sep 28, 2026 round).
When do payouts arrive?
Epochs close at 00 UTC daily. Each day’s payout dataset publishes first, its root then waits out a 1-hour public review window, and after activation your USDC is sent to your wallet automatically, usually by 01 UTC. There’s nothing to claim. If a payout is ever delayed, you can still claim it yourself on the Rewards page.
Who takes custody of my earnings?
Contracts, not us. Creator revenue, referral cuts, holder entitlements, token dividends, and X-handle shares each sit in contracts that pay only their rightful on-chain owner. The full trust boundary, including exactly what we do operate, is in Security model.
Is ubi.fun audited?
The load-bearing parts are. The rewards distributor that holds the pool is Morpho’s contract, audited three times, and the launchpad contracts derive from an audited protocol lineage. We keep the claim scoped instead of stamping the whole product audited, and our exact composition is published and verifiable on-chain. Read Security model for the precise claims.
