Who are we?

Unlock is a collection of smart contract engineers, quantitative researchers and defi strategists. Together, we realise a yield and governance toolkit built on top of Maverick AMM to enhance yield access to Maverick governance.

Purpose

Increase utility for Maverick users, and to fully preserve its foundational values at scale.

Goals

• Enhance yield & utility for Maverick users and liquidity providers.

• Safeguard security and decentralisation with humans & code.

• Provide efficient veMAV voting power through MAV Liquid Staking (unkMAV).

• Leverage quantitative optimization to provide risk-adjusted yield.

Central to our purpose and goals are our values - they define the foundational beliefs that drive our product.

Values

• Trustlessness

• Proactivity

• Security

• Community Ownership

Trustlessness - permissionless freedom, forever.

Blockchain technology enables freedom. The freedom to create, explore and do anything, trustlessly. It enables anyone the freedom to achieve their goals without the burdens of traditional contraints and beauracracy. We believe it's the most efficient way to achieve freedom - all our other principles are possible because of trustlessness.

Proactivity - ideate, research, execute.

Ideas are great, but execution is better. We believe, anyone has the freedom to create, explore and execute. Here, work always trumps credentials - we don't care who you are, only what you do.

At Unlock, we don't wait to be unblocked, permission is self granted, and action is revered. Proactivity at Unlock means you have nothing between you and the glorious horizon. The future belongs to those who do.

Security - it takes Humans and code.

Security is at the core of our development philosophy. We’ve seen the birth of DeFi and witnessed the unfortunate pitfalls that can occur. So we battle-test everything, endlessly. We cherish our purpose and values, anything we release must preserve and advance our mission, to enhance utility for Maverick users - at scale with cryptography.

Prioritizing rigourous critique without remorse, for us is the only path to secure code.

Decentralization through Community Ownership

The protocol isn't our only product. Unlock is a community of independent minds, each with their own range of experiences and voice. Enabling them through code to grow the network organically. We prioritize uniting exceptional people around radical ideas and hardened trustless systems to make finance more flexible and accessible. This synergistic relationship guides Unlock to build its code and community with integrity.

Unlock is open to all that answer the call - our products are governed by code and enhanced by you, the people. This is reflected in our path to decentralization through Community Ownership.

If our purpose and values speak to you, or to say gm, join us to shape the movement.
