Features
UNC is built for phones first. No rigs, no configuration files, no electricity bill — just an app that earns while you go about your day.
What you get, and what we are careful not to claim
UNC is not computational mining, and we say so plainly. Your daily session proves a real person is active — no hashing runs on your phone, so nothing drains your battery.
Your balance climbs as the session runs, and the UNC is credited to your wallet automatically when the session completes. Nothing to claim by hand.
Earn extra tokens by inviting friends. Every active referral raises your hourly rate, across eight tiers.
Mine now and hold a position before mainnet. UNC has no guaranteed value — see our disclaimer for what that means.
Every connection is encrypted, and you can add two-factor authentication and biometric unlock to your account.
Consistent miners receive daily bonus rewards. The longer you mine, the more benefits you unlock.
Traditional mining asks you to buy hardware, understand hash rates and pay for power. UNC asks you to tap a button.
Mining runs as a 24-hour session you start with one tap. It keeps accruing whether the app is open or closed, and you come back the next day to start the next one. Nothing runs down your battery in between.
Every active person you introduce raises your hourly rate permanently, across eight tiers. Daily streaks and seasonal events stack on top, so consistency compounds.
No seed phrase to lose on day one. Your balance is tied to your account, recoverable through your verified email, and you can add two-factor authentication and biometric unlock when you want them.
Peer-to-peer trading, a block explorer, savings vaults, community chat and merchant tools all read from the same balance, so what you mine is usable rather than just a number.
No. UNC does not run a proof-of-work algorithm on your handset. Your device checks in with the network and your balance accrues server-side, so a mining session costs roughly what a messaging app costs while idle.
No. Any Android phone that runs the UNC app can mine. There is no GPU, ASIC or dedicated rig involved, and nothing to buy.
Every verified miner starts at 0.25 UNC per hour. Referral tiers, daily streaks and seasonal events add to that rate, up to 0.65 UNC per hour from referrals alone.
Accounts are protected with encrypted transport, optional two-factor authentication and optional biometric unlock. Balances are held server-side rather than in a key file on your phone, so a lost handset does not mean lost UNC.
Today you can accumulate a balance, build a streak, grow a referral network and verify your identity. What you cannot do is sell, trade or spend it, because the chain has not launched. Features that depend on mainnet — transfers, merchant payments, governance voting — are built against that launch rather than live now, and we would rather list them as forthcoming than imply they are available.
Because the alternative has cost ordinary people an enormous amount of money. Self-custody through a twelve-word phrase assumes every user can store that phrase safely forever, and most cannot. Holding balances server-side before mainnet means a lost or stolen handset does not mean a lost balance. The longer-term answer is recovery through a Trust Circle, so security does not depend on a phrase written on a piece of paper.
No. Your streak, balance and referral tiers are tied to your account rather than to a device, so signing in on a new handset carries all of it across. The only thing that resets a streak is missing a day.
Yes. The user, miner and block counts shown across the site are read live from the same API the app uses, and the section is hidden entirely if that API cannot be reached rather than falling back to invented placeholder numbers. You can cross-check the same figures in the network explorer.
No. A session runs server-side once started, so you can close the app and carry on with your day. There is no benefit to leaving it open, and no penalty for closing it.
Feature lists in this industry are usually aspirational, and it is rarely made clear which items exist today and which are intentions. That ambiguity is doing work for the people who write them, so it is worth being explicit about how ours divides.
Everything described above as part of the daily experience is live: sessions, streaks, referral tiers, identity verification, balances and the network figures published across this site. You can install the app and use all of it now, and the numbers shown here are read from the same API the app itself uses rather than being written by hand into a marketing page.
Everything that depends on a live chain is not. Transfers between people, merchant payments, governance voting and anything involving moving UNC between wallets require mainnet, and mainnet has not launched. Those capabilities are designed and documented in the whitepaper, and they are being built toward, but describing them as available today would be untrue. Pre-mainnet UNC is a pending allocation. It has no market price, cannot be sold or converted to cash, and may never be worth anything.
The reason we draw the line this sharply is that the gap between what an app does and what people believe it does is where most of the harm in this category happens. Someone who joins believing they are being paid an income, or that their phone is performing cryptographic work, has been misled regardless of whether any individual sentence was technically defensible. We would rather lose the sign-up than acquire it on a misunderstanding.
The practical test to apply — to UNC and to anything competing with it — is whether a balance can be verified outside the app that reported it, whether the mechanism is explained in terms you can check, and whether the project is specific about what it has not achieved yet. Those questions are answerable now, and they are more informative than any feature list, including this one.
Install the app, create an account, tap Mine. There is no step four.
