Unitas Labs (UP)

Unitas is a synthetic dollar protocol built by Unipay, a yield-bearing stablecoin payment platform that combines credit and stablecoin solutions.

It aims to provide users with an overcollateralized stablecoin, USDu, backed by a delta-neutral, crypto-native yield. Similarly to Ethena, the platform allows users to swap their tokens into the Unitas protocol stablecoin ($USDu), which can be used across DeFi applications while ensuring their funds are 100%+ backed by the protocol.

Unitas $USDu token can also be used to mint sUSDu, a yield-bearing stablecoin that gradually increases in value by the same percentage APR generated by the protocol. To achieve this growth in value, the platform allocates revenue generated from its delta-neutral yield farming strategy. However, unlike Ethena, which focuses on the Ethereum ecosystem and staking-based yield, Unitas protocol uses the Jupiter DEX liquidity provider pool as its main yield source.

The Unitas Labs crypto platform purchases a supported basket of assets for JLP deposits (SOL/ETH/WBTC/USDC) and deposits them into the pool to share revenue generated by Jupiter perpetuals trading. This revenue consists of index price appreciation, traders’ PnL, and 75% of users’ trading fees. At the same time, the protocol neutralizes market exposure by opening short positions on the underlying assets.

Such a creative approach towards delta-nautral arbitrage model allowed the project to surpass Ethena by the APR as of March 2026 - 4% for sUSDe against 12% for sUSDU.

🪙 Unitas token: According to the docs, Unitas $UP token is the native coin of the platform used for governance and revenue sharing through staking.

The protocol previously held a points farming campaign, suggesting potential Unitas $UP airdrop for active platform users, and in January 2026, conducted a Booster Program in the Binance Wallet ecosystem. Later, on March 11, 2026, Binance Wallet announced a $UP IDO starting on March 15 with not Unitas $UP TGE date disclosed. The Alpha Points required and the token FDV to be revealed later.
