UNCX and Team Finance are the two lockers most projects actually shortlist, and the choice usually comes down to two questions: how do you want to pay, and which chain are you on. UNCX charges a percentage of your liquidity and has the longest clean record in the category; Team Finance charges flat and is the one live on Arc. This page puts them side by side, written by the company that owns one of them.
What are the two products, in one paragraph each?
UNCX Network, founded as UniCrypt in 2020, is the original liquidity locker: LP locks for Uniswap v2, v3 and v4 (position NFTs, with the owner retaining LP fee collection while locked) and Raydium on Solana, plus token vesting, staking-as-a-service, a pre-audited token minter, and a launchpad. It holds the largest TVL in DefiLlama's token-locker category and runs across roughly fourteen mainnets including Ethereum, Base, BSC, Arbitrum, Polygon and Solana.
Team Finance is TrustSwap's infrastructure suite: liquidity locks (LP tokens and v3 position NFTs), team token locks, NFT locks, vesting, staking pools, airdrops, multisender and payroll, on 28+ chains with 40,000+ projects served. Its distinguishing design choice is fee structure — flat, USD-quoted, never a percentage — and its distinguishing 2026 fact is that it's live on Arc from mainnet day one (how locks work there).
How do the fees actually compare?
This is the real difference, so here it is in the vendors' own terms (September 2026):
| UNCX | Team Finance | |
|---|---|---|
| LP lock (Uniswap v3, Ethereum) | 0.1 ETH flat + 0.5% of locked liquidity + 2% of collected LP fees (default tier; alternatives 0.8%/1% or 0.3%/3.5%) | Flat USD-quoted fee per lock (published at team.finance/pricing), paid in the chain's native token |
| LP lock (v4) | 0.1 ETH + 1% of locked LP + 2% of collected fees | v4 not supported |
| Relock / extend | 1% of LP | Extension included in lock management |
| Token vesting | 0.05 ETH + 0.1% of vested tokens | Flat USD-quoted fee per schedule |
| Team token locks | Via vesting product | Free |
Read the shape, not just the numbers. UNCX's model scales with your pool: lock $500,000 of liquidity on the default v3 tier and the percentage component alone is $2,500 before the flat fee and the ongoing 2% of LP fees. Team Finance's model doesn't move: the same fee whether you lock $5,000 or $5 million. For small launches the gap is modest; for well-funded ones it compounds. UNCX would fairly answer that its fee funds the deepest locker infrastructure in the category — and that's true.
Where does UNCX beat Team Finance?
Three places, stated without hedging. Track record: UNCX has no exploit on record; Team Finance was exploited in October 2022 for about $14.5 million via a migration function, with roughly $7 million returned and the contracts since re-audited. If a clean sheet is your first filter, UNCX passes it and Team Finance doesn't. Position coverage: UNCX locks Uniswap v4 positions and Raydium positions on Solana; Team Finance doesn't support v4 or Raydium as of September 2026. Category depth: largest TVL, OpenZeppelin-audited v3 locker (January 2024, all critical and high findings resolved), a whitelist of thirteen third-party auditors and KYC partners for projects, and a staking token with a real community. A project on Ethereum with a v4 pool that values incumbency has a straightforward answer, and it isn't us.
Where does Team Finance beat UNCX?
Fee predictability, product breadth, and Arc. Flat fees mean your launch budget is a number, not a function of your success (why that matters on Arc). One platform covers locks, vesting, staking, airdrops, multisender and payroll, so a project's whole trust-and-distribution stack lives in one dashboard with one audit surface. And on Arc — where gas is USDC and the buyer base is diligence-heavy — Team Finance is the only established locker live at launch, with a free embeddable lock badge so buyers can verify without leaving your site. If you're launching on Arc, this isn't a comparison; if you're on Ethereum, it genuinely is.
Which should you choose?
Choose UNCX if you're on Ethereum, Base or Solana; you hold v4 or Raydium positions; or a zero-incident record is non-negotiable and percentage fees are acceptable. Choose Team Finance if you're on Arc, want flat fees at any pool size, or want locks, vesting, staking and payouts from one platform. Both are real, non-custodial lockers whose contracts are verified on-chain — the worst choice is neither, and the broader roundup covers the rest of the field. Whichever you pick, publish the certificate and expect buyers to check it.
FAQ
Is UNCX the same as Unicrypt? Yes — UniCrypt rebranded to UNCX Network. Same team lineage, same locker products, extended to v3, v4 and Solana.
Which is cheaper, UNCX or Team Finance? For small pools, comparable; as pool size grows, Team Finance's flat fee stays fixed while UNCX's percentage components scale. Check both vendors' current pricing pages before deciding — fees change.
Has UNCX ever been hacked? No exploit of UNCX's own contracts is on record as of September 2026. Team Finance has one incident (October 2022) with partial recovery and subsequent re-audits — stated here because omitting it would make this page worthless.
Does UNCX work on Arc? Not as of September 2026. Team Finance is live on Arc from mainnet; if UNCX adds Arc, this page will say so.
Can I lock Uniswap v4 positions with Team Finance? No — Team Finance supports v2 LP tokens and v3 position NFTs. UNCX supports v4. On Arc, Uniswap's day-one deployment is what determines which position types exist to lock.
Locking on Arc? Team Finance is live from day one — flat fees paid in USDC, audited contracts, free lock badge for your site.Open Team Finance →Sources: UNCX documentation — fees, products, whitelisted partners, UNCX token (docs.uncx.network, Sept 2026); OpenZeppelin, UNCX UniswapV3 Liquidity Locker audit (Jan 2024); DefiLlama Token Locker category; Team Finance pricing and docs (team.finance, Sept 2026); Hacken, "Why Team Finance was exploited for $14.5 million"; Cointelegraph on the ~$7M return (Nov 2022); docs.arc.io.
