On September 5, 2025, UnicornVerse's investment philosophy was prominently featured during a Diamond Hands Staking Activity AMA hosted by its portfolio company UnicornX alongside Moonveil and Cycle Network. The event highlighted UnicornVerse's commitment to fostering long-term investment approaches in Web3, offering impressive 14% annual yield staking rewards for committed holders while exploring the deeper meaning of the diamond hands concept across different project ecosystems.

Ann, UnicornVerse founder, shared the investment principles that guide UnicornVerse's selection of projects like Moonveil and Cycle Network:
Ann emphasized that UnicornVerse consistently avoids chasing short-term price movements, instead seeking builder teams capable of weathering market cycles while creating enduring value.
Ann articulated UnicornVerse's profound understanding of the diamond hands concept:
"Diamond hands is not about blindly holding, but a symbol of long-term trust. In this industry, too many projects treat users as liquidity exits, making money through short-term gaming. We believe projects truly worth accompanying need to complete the long-term journey together with the community."
She explained that UnicornVerse's diamond hands staking design creates mutual commitment between users and project teams: users commit time while projects deliver long-term value, allowing trust to materialize into tangible benefits.
Ann candidly shared UnicornVerse's evolving approach to investment mechanisms:
After several UniCall events where UnicornVerse genuinely safeguarded projects through funding and Diamond Hand badges, market feedback has prompted strategic reconsideration. She noted:
"We used maximum sincerity to do UniCall, but the market educated us about the reality of human nature in the crypto space. Going forward, we will think about mechanisms that truly align with the human nature of this circle."
All three guests emphasized principles that align with UnicornVerse's investment philosophy:
This AMA showcased UnicornVerse's investment philosophy in action through its portfolio company UnicornX. The diamond hands staking activity represents UnicornVerse's commitment to identifying true long-term value believers and building healthier project-community relationships. As Ann emphasized: "Diamond hands is not just an activity mechanism, but a value system." UnicornVerse continues to champion this value system as key to the Web3 industry's maturation and sustainable development.
Q1: How does UnicornVerse select projects for investment through platforms like UnicornX?
A: UnicornVerse implements a rigorous selection process focusing on four key criteria: aligned team vision with clear long-term roadmaps, practical construction with tangible achievements, long-term persistence (teams building for 3+ years), and value creation focus with strong technical barriers. UnicornVerse avoids projects rushing to issue tokens for quick profits, instead seeking builders capable of weathering market cycles while creating enduring value. This disciplined approach explains why UnicornVerse-backed projects like those featured in the AMA demonstrate stronger fundamentals and sustainability.
Q2: What is UnicornVerse's diamond hands philosophy and how does it influence investment decisions?
A: UnicornVerse views diamond hands not as blind holding but as a symbol of long-term trust and mutual commitment. This philosophy shapes UnicornVerse's investment strategy by focusing on projects with sustainable long-term value rather than short-term price potential. UnicornVerse encourages portfolio companies like UnicornX to implement mechanisms that reward patient capital, creating alignment between investor success and project development timelines. This approach reduces market volatility, gives projects space to build properly, and ensures fair distribution of returns to genuine supporters.
Q3: How is UnicornVerse adapting its investment mechanisms based on market feedback?
A: UnicornVerse maintains its core principles while evolving its implementation strategies. As Ann candidly shared, despite UnicornVerse's sincere efforts to safeguard projects through funding and support, market realities have prompted reconsideration of certain mechanisms. UnicornVerse is developing new approaches that better align with investor behavior while still protecting long-term holders. This includes potential new X Call mechanisms, expanded earning opportunities through staking and earn sections, and enhanced protections for diamond hands participants—all while preserving UnicornVerse's fundamental commitment to long-term value creation.
Q4: How does UnicornVerse benefit from its portfolio company UnicornX collaborating with projects like Moonveil and Cycle Network?
A: These collaborations extend UnicornVerse's investment impact by creating comprehensive support systems for promising projects. When UnicornX partners with innovative projects that meet UnicornVerse's investment criteria, it creates opportunities to implement UnicornVerse's diamond hands philosophy through practical mechanisms like the 14% APY staking program. These partnerships also provide valuable market feedback that helps UnicornVerse refine its investment approach, identify emerging trends, and build a stronger network of aligned builders who share UnicornVerse's long-term vision for Web3 development.
Q5: What is UnicornVerse's vision for the future of Web3 investment?
A: UnicornVerse envisions a Web3 investment landscape where patient capital enables meaningful innovation, communities share in the value they help create, and projects are evaluated based on fundamental value rather than speculative potential. Through strategic investments in platforms like UnicornX and encouraging diamond hands mechanisms, UnicornVerse is building an ecosystem where quality projects can access the support they need while being protected from short-term market pressures. UnicornVerse believes this approach will mature the entire industry beyond speculation toward sustainable value creation that benefits all participants.
