AEGIS Accounts: Everything You Need to Know to Get Started
AEGIS Accounts go live today. If you have questions about what they are, how minting works, and what happens after — this is the place to start.
What is AEGIS?
AEGIS is infrastructure built on Uniswap v4 that makes liquidity pools more productive. Two core features: dynamic fees that rise when markets get volatile, so LPs earn more when risk is highest, and a credit layer called Engine that lets people borrow against pool liquidity without oracle-dependent liquidation cascades.
What is an AEGIS Account?
An AEGIS Account is an on-chain sponsorship identity on Unichain. It is an NFT with a token-bound account. When you sponsor a pool and it performs well, AGS rewards flow to your Account based on real outcomes: actual TVL, actual protocol fee revenue.
This is not a deposit account or investment product. You will be sponsoring pools and earning based on outcomes.
For the first time, the person who does the work of launching a productive pool gets rewarded for it.
How do I mint?
Go to aegis.markets/account. Connect your wallet on Unichain and pick an Account tier:
| Tier | Cost | CCA Bonus | Base Slots |
|---|---|---|---|
| Buckler | 0.01 ETH | 10% | 2 |
| Kite Shield | 0.1 ETH | 15% | 10 |
| Tower Shield | 1 ETH | 25% | 100 |
Higher tier means more base slots and a bigger CCA bonus multiplier. There are 10,000 total accounts available on Unichain with no per-tier cap. Once minting closes, no new accounts can be created on this chain.
What are base slots?
Base slots are the number of invitation slots that come with your Account tier. They determine how many invitations you can create to bring other wallets into AEGIS.
You use slots to create invitations. There are types are available:
Open Invite: A reusable link any wallet can use. Stays active after use.
Targeted Invite: Single use, sent to one specific wallet.
Outstanding invitations consume slots until they are accepted or revoked. When someone accepts, that slot is consumed and does not come back.
That said, slots are not a fixed ceiling. As your sponsored pools hit real milestones, you earn more: plus 3 per pool on your first successful claim, up to a maximum of your base slots times 10. A Kite Shield account starts with 10 base slots and can earn up to 100. Slots are a resource to manage, not something that runs out permanently if you are doing the work.
What do I do after minting?
You will be in the pre-CCA phase. Your first task is creating invitations to recruit wallets for the upcoming auction under your sponsorship.
That invitation activity builds your CCA bonus base. The more successful invitations you land, the larger your bonus base grows, and the bigger your bonus when the CCA runs.
What is the CCA?
The Continuous Clearing Auction is planned for roughly two weeks after April 3. Final date to be confirmed and announced. The CCA determines fair pricing for bootstrapping initial liquidity. When the CCA closes, minting closes with it.
The window to mint is between now and the CCA closing. That is the entire window. 10,000 accounts. No extensions. If you are planning to mint, do not wait.
