Testnet demo with test tokens. Not shares, not an investment, and no returns.

From Testnet
to real companies

Unicorn puts a company inside a Stellar smart contract. Protocol v5 runs end to end on Testnet today. Three stages of eight weeks finish what the promise needs: protection between partners, money and depth, then a capped launch on Mainnet.

Today
Live on Testnet

Built

A team can already go from an idea to a company with its own contract and treasury, using test tokens.

  • Each company deployed by a Factory from a catalog of reviewed builds
  • Named partners with percentages, one payer or many, cliff and vesting
  • Escrow with a refund of capital before launch
  • Genesis: the company contract and its treasury in one transaction
  • Weighted voting, a timelock and exit with a share of the treasury
  • Treasury spending, milestone tranches and a manager with a budget
  • Guardians, key rotation and recovery
  • An optional company token and a pool moved only by vote
  • AI drafting of the plan and settings, and a chat that proposes changes
  • A browser check of every prepared transaction against pinned code hashes

Checked

  • Protocol v5 deployed on Stellar Testnet on November 8, 2026
  • A scripted Testnet scenario of 79 transactions and 77 checks
  • The full path through the web app, 17 of 17 steps with test wallets

Not yet

  • No external audit of the contracts
  • No external teams have used the product
  • Signing with a real wallet on protocol v5
  • Google and Apple sign-in

Next
Proof in public

Before stage 1

The contracts become public, and real teams try the product on Testnet.

  • Open contracts

    All smart contracts go public under Apache-2.0. The web app, API and indexer stay closed.

    Done when

    Anyone can compare the published source with the Wasm hashes of the deployed contracts.

  • First pilots

    Two or three real teams create companies on Testnet. Our own projects join them, labelled as internal pilots.

    Done when

    The contract addresses of the pilot companies are published.

  • A real wallet

    The whole path on protocol v5, signed with a real wallet instead of test keys.

    Done when

    The path from an idea to Genesis passes with Freighter.

  • Google and Apple sign-in

    Partners sign in with an account they already have.

    Done when

    Sign-in works on unicorn.ceo.

  • Demo film

    A short recording of the real product on Testnet.

    Done when

    It shows the path from an idea to Genesis.

Stage 1
Protection between partners

Weeks 1 to 8

A partner who stops working can no longer keep the share they have not earned.

  • Roles in the contract

    A team combines a fixed set of reviewed permissions into roles, and the contract enforces them. No code is generated for a company.

    Done when

    A Testnet transaction is refused for a role without the permission.

  • Stopping an unvested share

    The others vote. The unvested part returns to the company, the vested part stays, and a timelock leaves time to exit.

    Done when

    Testnet transactions show the vote, the timelock and the new weights.

  • Votes that follow vesting

    Only the vested part of a share votes, so a partner who has not paid gains weight as the work is done.

    Done when

    On Testnet an unpaid partner votes with the vested part only.

  • A low entry and a clear fee

    Capital can be minimal. Creating a company costs $99 plus 1% of the money paid in, and the 1% comes back if the company does not launch.

    Done when

    The Factory is configured on Testnet and a refund transaction is recorded.

  • Screens and a public demo

    Every feature of this stage gets a working flow in the web app.

    Done when

    A recorded end-to-end run on Testnet.

Stage 2
Money and depth

Weeks 9 to 16

Partners sign without a wallet, work in stages and share what the company earns.

  • Passkey signing

    Partners sign with a passkey through a Stellar smart account, with no seed phrase to manage.

    Done when

    A company is created and a vote is cast on Testnet with a passkey alone.

  • Stages with acceptance

    Partners accept a stage of work, and money or shares unlock.

    Done when

    Testnet transactions for the acceptance and the unlock.

  • Tasks

    Tasks with assignees and deadlines, tied to a stage by a hash.

    Done when

    The hash of the task list matches the stage on chain.

  • Revenue sharing

    Receipts fill the reserve set in the Charter. The rest is claimable by vested share, and partners claim it themselves.

    Done when

    Testnet receipts, a reserve balance and claims, with conservation tests.

  • Company token on a ready venue

    A team can use Soroswap or Aquarius, or keep the company's own pool.

    Done when

    A swap through the chosen venue.

  • Threat model and monitoring

    A full threat model and monitoring plan, following the guidance of the Stellar Development Foundation.

    Done when

    Published documents, and an alert fired in a Testnet drill.

Stage 3
Mainnet launch

Weeks 17 to 24

The first real companies go live, with a limit on each treasury.

  • USDC treasuries

    Company money is held in USDC. Every Charter discloses the issuer's right to freeze it.

    Done when

    The Factory is configured on Mainnet, and the Charter of a live company says so.

  • KYC and AML

    Everyone who pays real money is checked through a provider, before the payment.

    Done when

    A payment from an unverified partner is refused.

  • External audit

    An independent review of the contracts, and fixes for what it finds.

    Done when

    An audit report with its findings closed.

  • Mainnet deployment

    Production delays, contract rent extended ahead of time, and signers on separate hardware.

    Done when

    Contract addresses and Wasm hashes are published.

  • Live monitoring and documentation

    Monitoring in operation, with guides for users and for developers.

    Done when

    Public documents, and monitoring running.

  • Five teams without crypto experience

    Real people try the product, and what they trip over gets fixed.

    Done when

    A published report and the resulting fixes.

  • Capped launch

    Each company starts with a limit on its treasury.

    Done when

    The first companies are live under the limit.

The finish line

A team writes one sentence, signs with a passkey and runs a company on Mainnet, under rules no key can change.

Within 60 days of launch: 5 companies live on Mainnet and 25 executed votes.

What this does not promise

A smart contract is not a legal entity, and a Charter is not a contract at law. Partners who need enforceable rights need a legal agreement too.

Participation is not a share, a security or an investment. Unicorn promises no profit, price or return, and takes no share of any company.

Weeks count from the start of funded work. Scope can change as pilots show what teams need.
