Umia UMIA

Every project on Umia gets its own legal entity, holding the project's intellectual property, its team and its treasury. The funds it raises sit in an onchain treasury contract that the founding team cannot spend on its own. The team draws a monthly allowance, set at formation with recipient addresses and purpose limits, which pays out automatically for development and go-to-market; raising it is itself a decision the market has to approve.

Fundraising runs through a Tailored Auction, Umia's configuration of Uniswap's Continuous Clearing Auction (CCA): an onchain auction that discovers the token's price over a set window, with refundable bids. Parts of the sale can be reserved for a project's own community, with participants proving they qualify through zkTLS proofs generated in their browser by the Umia Extension, without revealing their identity, their accounts, or their data. Part of the proceeds automatically seeds a Uniswap v4 liquidity pool owned by the project's treasury.

Anything beyond that allowance, a large one-off spend, a new commitment or a change in compensation, goes to a decision market, an open market that prices what each option would do for the project.

UMIA is the token of the Umia protocol, an ERC-20 on Base. Holders direct the protocol's noncustodial treasury, its configuration including fees, and its strategic direction through decision markets, and auction participants hold that influence from day one. Holders also curate the Community Track, deciding which applying projects are admitted. Umia was the first project launched on its own platform, running under the same rules as every project that launches after it.
