How to Participate in the AEGIS CCA on Unichain
The AEGIS CCA opens today at 3pm EST on Unichain and runs through April 21.
Here is what you need to know before it opens and where to go when it does.
How does the CCA work?
The CCA is a Continuous Clearing Auction. It runs for a fixed window, April 16 through April 21, and determines a uniform clearing price at close. The mechanism is designed to remove speed advantage and first-mover price benefits. Everyone who participates in the window gets the same price.
To participate, go to Uniswap’s auction interface, enter a max bid price and max bid amount, and submit your bid. Your bid is stored on-chain. You can only uncommit a bid if it is out of range. Any remaining ETH not consumed during the auction can be withdrawn once the auction has ended.
The full participation flow (wallet steps, bid submission, and interface instructions) is owned by Uniswap.
Follow the official Uniswap guide: https://support.uniswap.org/hc/en-us/articles/43106804833421

How this relates to Aegis Accounts
A few things the Uniswap guide won’t cover:
The CCA window is also the final window for AEGIS Account minting on Unichain. Both close together on April 21. If you have not opened an Account yet, you can still do so during the auction window at aegis.markets/account.
Your CCA bonus, if you minted an AEGIS Account, is calculated after the auction finalizes, not in real time. You will not see it reflected in your dashboard during the auction or immediately after it closes on April 21. Finalization is expected around April 22-23, at which point eligible Account holders will see their bonus reflected based on their tier rate and the activity under their sponsorship during the window.
Pool binding does not happen during the CCA. That phase begins after the auction closes on April 21.
What to do today, April 16th:
- If you haven’t opened an AEGIS Account yet, do that first at aegis.markets/account (the mint window is open through April 21)
- Review Uniswap’s participation guide
- Go to the official Uniswap auction page
- Connect the wallet linked to your AEGIS Account
- Submit your bid through the Uniswap interface. Note: make sure the bid recipient is your on-chain rewards address for it to count toward your bonus base
- Keep an eye on AEGIS channels for context, timelines, and next steps after the auction closes
