Umia (UMIA): What It Is, Uses and Risks

Umia describes itself as an onchain venture protocol. Founders apply to launch a token through it, raise funds in an open auction, and keep building while token holders govern the project's treasury through decision markets. Each project gets its own legal entity that holds its intellectual property, team and treasury. The funds it raises sit in an onchain treasury contract that the founding team cannot spend on its own. Instead, the team draws a monthly allowance set at formation, with recipient addresses and purpose limits. Larger one-off spending, new commitments or changes in compensation go to a decision market. Fundraising runs through a Tailored Auction, which is Umia's configuration of Uniswap's Continuous Clearing Auction, and bids in that auction are refundable.

UMIA is the token of the Umia protocol. It is an ERC-20 token on Base. According to the project description, holders use it to direct the protocol's noncustodial treasury, its configuration including fees, and its strategic direction through decision markets. Auction participants hold this influence from the start of the process. Holders also curate the Community Track, which decides which applying projects are admitted. A search summary describes the token as used to take part in governance and coordinate decisions across the protocol, which matches the project's own wording. the public information available do not say whether the token gives holders direct economic rights, such as a share of fees or proceeds, so this page does not claim that it does.

As of 2026-11-05, the data showed a price of about 0.75 US dollars, a market cap of about 18.3 million dollars and a fully diluted valuation of about 37.6 million dollars. The token ranked around 898th by market cap. About 24.35 million tokens were circulating, out of a total and maximum supply of 50 million. Trading volume over 24 hours was about 178,000 dollars, and the price was down about 7.4 percent over seven days. The all-time high was about 0.92 dollars on 2026-10-29, and the all-time low was about 0.52 dollars on 2026-09-05. A one-year change was not available. These figures move constantly and are given only to describe one snapshot. Some search snippets also mention an auction that raised about 6.11 million dollars at an valuation near 18 million dollars, and a September launch for trading. Those reports do not line up neatly with the snapshot, so readers should check current sources.

UMIA is issued on Base, and the data does not list it as the native token of any chain. Search summaries say the most active trading pair is on Uniswap v4 on Base. Umia's auction design also seeds a Uniswap v4 liquidity pool owned by each project's treasury with part of the proceeds, so pools of this kind are part of how the protocol is built. The token is also grouped under Base Ecosystem, Launchpad, Zero Knowledge and Governance categories in the data. Those labels describe the project's focus and are not a guarantee of how any particular market will behave. Before trading, check which contract address is official and which pools are active, because a token can have several trading pairs with very different depth.

UMIA is a recent token with a short price history, and the range between its all-time low and high in the snapshot was wide. Trading volume was small compared with the market cap, so large orders could move the price. Governance through decision markets depends on participation, and the outcomes of votes can change how the protocol and its treasury operate. The protocol also relies on smart contracts, auction mechanics, a browser extension for zkTLS proofs and a legal structure for each project, and any of these can contain faults or be interpreted in unexpected ways. To store UMIA, use a wallet that supports Base and keep your recovery phrase offline and private. Never share it, and be cautious of anyone asking for it or for approvals, especially on links from unsolicited messages. This page does not offer buy or sell advice.
