Was this helpful?

  1. Liquid staking for veMAV - unkMAV (ERC20)

Get all the benefits of veMAV whilst being liquid.

  1. Optimizer Vaults

Optimizers use quantitative optimization techniques to generate yield from multiple Maverick liquidity pools.

Optimizers accept ERC20 deposits such as ETH, BTC, USDC and use them to provide liquidity across multiple Maverick LP’s whilst automatically rebalancing to optimize for yield and risk. Vaults cater for different risk tranches and have auto-compounding functionality.

  1. The Unlock Games - Decentralization through Community Ownership

Unlock is being decentralized through a Community Ownership program called The Unlock Games.

Simply put, the more you use Unlock, the greater your ownership of the protocol.

  1. Unlock Token - UNK (ERC20)

UNK serves as a liquid proxy for veMAV governance. It has all the same admin as veMAV and more, such as rewards and admin over Unlock. UNK is distributed through a retroactive airdrop based on user Key balances in The Unlock Games.

  1. Voting power delegation and Markets.

Vote-markets enable markets for protocols seeking liquidity and users seeking yield. Protocols can post rewards to receive MAV incentives to particular liquidity positions and users can either vote directly for these pools with their veMAV governance power or delegate their voting power to an optimizer that votes for pools with the highest reward bounty posted on it.

  1. Unlock NFT (UNKNFT)

An on-chain mint experience to create Maverick art. Users can create their design and mint it as an NFT directly in-app.

Unlock NFT's provide Keys and boost the amount of Keys earnt from Liquid Staking MAV (unkMAV).

There is no limit to the number of NFTs you can individually mint. Minters also get access to a content challenge called 'The Riddle' that when completed boosts the Keys collected.



The Games strive to achieve Community Ownership, one of our , through contribution based decentralization. Users collect Keys for every interaction on Unlock for a retroactive airdrop of Unlock's governance token, UNK.
