UNVAULT
@unvaultAug 7, 2026

The Spaces centers on Unvault’s upcoming Genesis Bugs free mint and how Unvault, in partnership with Simple Farmer’s Clutch Labs/Markets, is building an omnichain NFT trading platform that enforces royalties and shares value across founders, minters, traders, and holders. Aaron and Ernest explain Divot (patent pending), a legal and technical framework that pays opted‑in holders for on-chain promotion, plus Minters Bonuses that reward wallets minting via Unvault. Simple Farmer outlines Stock Brokers’ decentralized scaling model and a special-projects pipeline, highlighting Manser—a Robinhood Chain DeFi aggregator—whose revenues and LP fees share back to Stock Brokers. The hosts defend enforced royalties and the choice to avoid guaranteed allowlist spots, detail Unvault’s AMM/pools roadmap, multi-chain arbitrage, and partnerships (e.g., First Class Frenchies, Claynosaurz inclusion for Phase 1). They also provide mint logistics (two phases, allocations vs. guarantees), vetting principles, compliance stance, and a near-term timeline pending OxQuit’s final audit.

Unvault Twitter Space Recap: Genesis Bugs, Divot, and the Clutch Labs/Stock Brokers Flywheel

Who spoke and their roles

  • Aaron (Unvault co-founder; host; based in Las Vegas) – led the session, outlined Unvault’s philosophy, roadmap and mint mechanics.
  • Ernest Lee (Unvault co-founder/partner; co-host) – provided legal/technical framing for Divot and Minter’s Bonus and reinforced royalty stance.
  • Simple Farmer (founder of Clutch Labs/Clutch Markets; creator of Stock Brokers; lead dev on the Unvault platform) – shared Stock Brokers’ model, special projects pipeline (e.g., Manser), liquidity/pool mechanics and future integrations with Unvault.
  • 0xQuit (external auditor) – final audit pass pending before mint (referenced, not present live).
  • Core devs mentioned: “Yuppy” (front-end), “Z” (lead blockchain engineer) – credited for Unvault’s build and reliability.
  • Community/partners referenced: Kevy (planning Stock Brokers event at ApeFest), Slapfather & Michael (Manser), TMA, Captain (Coffee with Captain), Green, Cap, Ansem (referenced as influential hosts/voices), “456 money” (Unvault team handling collab lists), Uncle Mac (artist for First Class Frenchies), Molly Red Goat Queen (artist for Genesis Bugs and Blowies).

Context and tone-setters

  • “It’s not a bull or bear market; it’s a stock market.” The team emphasized a builder-first, value-creation mindset over meta-chasing.
  • Unvault owns 50% of Clutch Markets alongside its founder, Simple Farmer, underscoring deep strategic alignment (tech sharing and distribution flywheels across both ecosystems).
  • Patent pending on Divot: They’ve faced pushback on patenting in web3; rationale is to protect significant R&D spend so innovation remains sustainable while still building for the community.

Unvault: What it is and what it enables

Core principles

  • Enforced royalties on-platform.
  • Transparent, opt-in reward systems for minters and holders.
  • Omni-chain reach to expand distribution, utility, and liquidity.
  • Neutral marketplace posture (no policing of a creator’s payout decisions) while remaining compliant and avoiding facilitation of illegal activity.

Key mechanisms

  • Divot (patent pending): A legal + technical framework for collections to pay eligible holders for marketing and engagement. Holders opt-in and complete simple tasks; funds are typically sourced from royalties/fees, and distributions are framed as advertising payments.
    • Proof points: STK (ApeChain, Dec 2024) pioneered Divot with Unvault; redistributed ~50% of royalties and paid the community back to mint price in ~6 weeks. Stock Brokers uses Divot to fund ongoing holder rewards.
  • Minter’s Bonus: Collections can reward original minters on each subsequent resale of the NFT (funded via royalties/fees). With Bugs, you mint first and the Minter’s Bonus accrues to the wallet that minted using the Bug.
  • Omni-chain unvaulting: Unvault can deploy echo contracts across up to 8 chains. A holder can vault the original NFT (escrow-lock), unvault it onto another chain for trading/utility, and swap back at will. Originals are never burned or deprecated.
  • Multi-chain trading & arbitrage: Unvault’s UI shows floor prices across all chains an unvaulted collection spans, enabling price-differential (arbitrage) opportunities for traders.
  • Pools & liquidity (AMM integration): Unvault uses an improved SudoSwap-like pool structure engineered with Simple Farmer. Outcomes: greater floor liquidity, more volume, better royalty flow. Future roadmap includes: trading AMM tokens on Unvault and, later (Phase 3), purchasing NFTs with AMM tokens.

Genesis Bugs: Mint design, utility, and timing

What Genesis Bugs do

  • Priority access to mints: Bugs mint first in participating launches on Unvault (ahead of any other mint-eligible NFTs Unvault may introduce later). This is designed to eliminate whitelist grinding for Bug holders.
  • Minter’s Bonus routing: When you mint a participating collection using a Bug, the ongoing Minter’s Bonus on that NFT’s future trades is paid to the wallet that minted with the Bug.
  • Platform-wide flywheel: Bugs help collections kickstart mints with a “swarm” of ready minters and simultaneously reward those minters over time.

Mint structure and philosophy

  • Free mint; multi-phase, first-come-first-served within allocations (no guaranteed spots). Supply was not formally announced on the call; any references to numbers (e.g., 5,000) were examples to illustrate mechanics.
  • Phase 1 (Allocations, not guarantees):
    • Reserved for Unvault clients and a subset of promotional partners; also includes a small OG list (~16 wallets collected from an early live call; honored within that group’s allocation).
    • Entry is FCFS within each partner’s allocation (no guaranteed mints). If a partner allocation depletes, a wallet holding multiple partner NFTs may still mint via other active allocations.
  • Phase 2 (Collaborations at scale):
    • Community managers (CMs) / alpha groups can DM @Unvault for a collab pack (Google form, assets, announcement template). They submit wallet lists for a limited allocation; FCFS within those lists; mints are still not guaranteed.
  • Why not guaranteed allowlists?
    • Data and experience show high no-show rates in guaranteed windows, which kills momentum, creates poor optics (“mint is dead”), and blocks eager buyers. With today’s low gas, the original allowlist rationale (preventing gas wars) is less relevant.

Timing (TBD; “as soon as safely possible”)

  • Audit: Final pass by 0xQuit pending; Simple Farmer also auditing. Remediation is largely completed.
  • After final approval: contract deployment (1–2 days), heavy stress testing (front end is already undergoing load tests), date announcement.
  • Expect First Class Frenchies to mint within a couple days after Bugs (subject to audit timeline).

Practical tips for mint day

  • Holding multiple partner NFTs increases your chances by opening multiple allocation pools. Smaller partner communities may be less competitive. Examples cited: Bulls on the Block, Bears on the Block, Bulls Evo, Alpha Dogs, Bad Ted Yacht Club, STK, Skelly Friends, Typical Tigers, First Class Frenchies tickets, etc.
  • Prepare for secondary: Expect fast sell-through; keep some native gas/tokens ready on your preferred chain(s).

Stock Brokers x Clutch Labs: Why this matters to Unvault

The model

  • “On-chain Y Combinator” for infra and products: Special projects receive distribution via Stock Brokers; SB holders benefit via revenue shares and fee flows.
  • Manser (special project on Robin Hood chain): A DeFi aggregator (think CowSwap on ETH, Jupiter on Solana). Revenue depends on usage; features include limit orders and aggregation of DeFi venues.
    • Economics: Stock Brokers receive 30% of Manser’s fees/revenue and 20% of all LP fees on the Manser token.
    • Guardrails: Special projects must provide LP and lock it in the Stock Brokers Safety Deposit Box Liquidity Locker (perpetual revenue source; typical pool fee ~1%; 80% to project creator, 20% to Stock Brokers/protocol to reward active holders).
  • Pipeline: 3–4 additional special projects incoming; emphasis on core infrastructure for the chain; SB can help teams scale not just 0→1 but toward 0→10 via community distribution (noted influencers and hosts across the ecosystem).

Technical integration with Unvault

  • Simple Farmer led Unvault’s platform build; expect ongoing collaboration (e.g., AMM machine on Unvault with slight mods; pool features; future ability to buy NFTs with AMM tokens).
  • Pools at Unvault are designed to outcompete bots, add real liquidity, and boost royalties.

Royalties, enforcement, and platform stance

Royalties are enforced on Unvault

  • The team believes royalties are a healthy revenue stream that let projects hire, build, and reward communities. They invite traders who prefer a no-royalty model to use other marketplaces.
  • Divot-funded ecosystems (e.g., Stock Brokers) show enforced royalties can coexist with rapid innovation and community rewards.

No creator KYC or “moral” royalty filtering

  • Unvault will not withhold royalties based on subjective judgments about a creator or community politics. Royalty recipients are defined by contract owners; Unvault will not police those decisions.
  • Compliance guardrails: they won’t knowingly facilitate illegal activity. Fraud remains subject to law enforcement; there are known cases of web3 fraudsters being prosecuted.

Project vetting & accountability

  • Unvault isn’t a project policeman. If a team is obviously malicious, they can decline; otherwise, the market decides. They won’t escrow/lock mint proceeds for a year (deemed counterproductive for builders).
  • Example: A partner was removed from the promotional list after the founder went dark; Unvault will honor already-promised allocations (some bought in based on the earlier announcement) but won’t promote further until the team re-engages.
  • DYOR is essential: consider doxxing, track record, domain expertise vs. promises.

Partner ecosystems and upcoming mints

Phase 1 partner eligibility (examples mentioned)

  • Godpool; Heavy Metal; Bulls on the Block, Bears on the Block, Bulls Evo (Unvault-owned families); Alpha Dogs; Bad Ted Yacht Club; STK; Skelly Friends; Typical Tigers; Chumlins (mentioned); Deadfellaz (within the Godpool/Deadfellaz family, per remarks); Claynosaurus (added for Phase 1 eligibility as friends; not because they are unvaulting now).

First Class Frenchies (FCF)

  • First official collection minting after Bugs on Unvault’s Omni-chain platform.
  • Artist: Uncle Mac (hand-drawn Frenchie art). Founder emphasized “art first” with utilities revealed as they’re finalized.
  • Will use Unvault’s Minter’s Bonus and intends to participate in Divot (subject to final setup). Not just a ticket to Bugs — independent roadmap includes real utility and collaborative features with Unvault and Clutch.
  • Example bonus teased: diamond necklace prize (via Crypto Jeweler) for a specific holder segment (details to be published by FCF).

Blowies (post-FCF; Unvault project)

  • Art by Molly Red Goat Queen (also the Bugs artist). Lore: “swamp dolphins” with ape-themed disguises; deliberately humorous traits.
  • Real-world mechanic: When the Divot-driven treasury hits the Mutant floor, Blowies buy Mutants with the aim of ultimately giving every Blowies token number its own Mutant (ambitious goal; not guaranteed; dependent on floors and volume).

Bulls in the Block roadmap

  • Indexed AMM plan (a tokenized exposure to the Bulls family of collections). Additional bullish features under discussion.

Technical notes and operations

  • Chains supported: 8 (for unvaulting, multi-chain floors, arbitrage).
  • Audits: 0xQuit (final pass pending) + Simple Farmer; deploy after remediations; front end is undergoing heavy stress tests for high traffic.
  • Contracts: If a partner uses royalty-enforced 721C-like contracts, they simply need to authorize Unvault to interact (Unvault will assist if needed). No holder needs to move or burn legacy NFTs; originals remain intact.
  • Collaboration process: CMs/collections should DM @Unvault (central inbox) to be added to the master spreadsheet and receive materials. This ensures orderly allocations and communication.

Q&A highlights

  • Mint guarantees (Miles, Idris): No guarantees; Phase 1/2 are allocations with FCFS minting. Early OG wallets (~16) are honored within that group’s allocation. CMs can request Phase 2 spots using the @Unvault process.
  • Why FCFS vs. guaranteed lists (Aaron): Guarantees slow mints when many no-show, bottleneck interested buyers, and create “dead” optics. With today’s optimized gas (ETH + L2s), gas wars are not a concern.
  • “Can Unvault enforce KYC or withhold royalties?” (EasyWeezy): No. That’s against the decentralized ethos and too subjective. Unvault enforces royalties as set by contract owners and doesn’t police content; it stays compliant and leaves fraud to legal systems.
  • “Guardrails like escrowed mint funds?” (Bowser): No — would cripple builders. DYOR is encouraged; Unvault can decline obvious scams and will stop promoting collections whose teams vanish.
  • “Boggies unvaulting details” (Ram Dog): Holders do nothing; the collection can authorize Unvault; echo contracts deploy to chosen chains; holders vault originals (escrow) and unvault to desired chains; swap back/forth anytime. Royalty-enforced contracts require allowing Unvault operator access — Unvault assists.
  • “When is the mint?” (multiple): After 0xQuit’s final audit sign-off → deploy → stress tests → date announcement. Soon, not yet dated.

Community signals and culture

  • Stock Brokers has reignited NFT culture on Robin Hood chain with enforced royalties + Divot rewards, rapid shipping, and a distribution engine (special projects).
  • Influencers and community shows (Coffee with Captain, etc.) are amplifying reach; potential Stock Brokers event at ApeFest is being explored (Kevy).
  • Ethos: “Let everyone eat.” Minters, holders, traders, and founders all have aligned pathways to value (Minter’s Bonus, Divot, arbitrage, royalties).
  • No sell-shaming; Unvault is literally a trading platform. If flippers profit, that’s fine; systems are designed to sustain value for long-term participants as well.

Actionable next steps

  • For collectors:
    • Follow @Unvault for the audit greenlight and mint date.
    • Acquire partner NFTs if you want Phase 1 access (consider smaller communities for less competition); prep gas and be early.
    • Prepare to buy on secondary if you miss FCFS mint.
  • For CMs/alpha groups:
    • DM @Unvault to request Phase 2 allocation (you’ll receive a form + assets + template). Submit wallets via the provided Google form.
  • For founders:
    • DM @Unvault or Aaron/Ernest to discuss unvaulting your collection, Divot, Minter’s Bonus, AMM pools and omni-chain growth tooling (marketing momentum through Bugs + Divot; liquidity via pools; royalties enforced).

Key takeaways

  • Unvault is a momentum and growth engine for NFT collections: enforce royalties, reward minters/holders, open distribution across 8 chains, and deepen liquidity.
  • Genesis Bugs is the gateway asset for priority minting and Minter’s Bonus benefits across participating launches; it’s FCFS within allocations to encourage healthy mint dynamics.
  • Clutch Labs/Stock Brokers integration creates a multi-sided flywheel: special projects get distribution, Stock Brokers holders get fee flows, Unvault integrates the infra (AMM/pools) and the minter/holder incentives (Divot/Minter’s Bonus).
  • The team is committed to compliance, decentralization, and practical innovation — not playing content police, but giving builders the tools (and rails) to reward their communities sustainably.
