Frequently Asked Questions
❓ What is UPONLY?
UPONLY is a decentralized financial protocol built on Solana that introduces UP, a token that is mathematically designed to only go up in price. Powered by the Auto-Ascending Liquidity Mechanism (ALM™), it flips traditional tokenomics on its head — creating a self-sustaining system where price increases with every transaction.
❓ How does the price of UP increase?
UP’s price is calculated as:
UP Price = USDCin Liquidity Pool / UP in Circulation
Because of the way buys and sells are handled:
Buys add more USDT than UP tokens are minted
Sells burn more UP than USDC is removed
This results in price appreciation on both buys and sells.
❓ Can the price of UP ever go down?
No. Thanks to the ALM™ design, a price drop is mathematically impossible. All system dynamics (fees, minting, burning) are structured to always push the price higher.
❓ What’s the difference between Options and Perpetuals?
Options require choosing a lock-up duration (3 days to 6 months). Tokens are held in smart contracts and automatically sold at the end of the selected term.
Perpetuals let you hold tokens directly in your wallet with no time limit, for a one-time 10,000 USDC access fee.
❓ Can I sell before my option expires?
Yes. You can sell early anytime during your lock-up period. The tokens will be burned and you’ll receive USDC in return — but you cannot withdraw the UP tokens themselves before maturity.
❓ What happens at the end of an option's lock-up?
Once your chosen duration ends, the smart contract automatically sells your UP tokens and makes the USDC available for withdrawal. This ensures guaranteed volume and contributes to price growth.
❓ What are the transaction fees?
Fees vary by lock-up duration — longer durations have higher fees, which reflects the higher upside potential. A portion of the fees go to the platform, referral rewards, and founder pool; the rest stays in the Liquidity Pool, pushing price upward.
See Fee Structure → for a full breakdown.
❓ Is there a token allocation for the team or VCs?
No. UPONLY launched with:
✅ No pre-mint
✅ No team wallets
✅ No VC involvement
It's a fully community-driven protocol with no central control.
❓ Is UPONLY decentralized?
Yes. Once deployed, all contracts are immutable and autonomous. There are no owners, no admins, no governance, and no way to stop or alter the protocol.
❓ What chain is UPONLY on?
UPONLY is deployed on Solana, chosen for its high speed, low gas fees, and strong DeFi ecosystem.
❓ Can I refer others to earn rewards?
Yes. Each transaction includes a Referral Share (see the Fee Structure). If someone buys or sells using your referral, you earn a portion of the fee. More info in the Referral Program section.
❓ Can UP become more expensive than Bitcoin?
👉 Yes — absolutely.
Why?
Sells burn tokens → supply keeps shrinking
Buys add USDT → liquidity keeps rising
Fewer tokens = higher price per token
Example:
10M USDT in the pool and 100 tokens = ~$99,000 per token
👉 UP can easily surpass Bitcoin — and go well beyond.
❓ Can the system be dumped or manipulated?
🚀 This System Can’t Be Dumped.
Every buy pushes price up
Every sell burns tokens and reduces supply
No one can break the formula — not even the developers
❓ Are external exchanges or oracles involved?
❌ No Exchanges. No Oracles. No BS.
The smart contract governs everything
No price feeds, no outside markets, no fake volume
Everything is internal and immutable
❓ Is the base liquidity safe?
🧱 Base Liquidity = Untouchable
The initial 10 USDT + 10 tokens are locked forever
The price can never hit zero
There are no backdoors, no rugs, and no reset buttons
❓ How does the Founders Pool work?
It’s a one-time opportunity to earn 0.5% of all protocol transaction fees, forever. Only 60 shares exist, each costing 5,000 USDT. Revenues are automatically and proportionally distributed on-chain each month. See Founders Pool →
❓ Has the code been audited?
Audits are scheduled and will be completed before launch. The smart contracts will be reviewed by independent security firms, and the full reports will be published publicly on the Security & Audit page.
