Liquidity pool locking refers to locking LP tokens in a time-locked smart contract, so that liquidity cannot be withdrawn until a set period ends. Unlike burned liquidity, locked liquidity is usually recoverable after expiration, making it a different kind of security assurance for decentralised communities.
Key Takeaways
- Locked liquidity remains in the pool for a predefined time window.
- When the lock period expires, the LP tokens become withdrawable by whomever controls the lock contract.
- Locking helps guard against rug pulls and is transparently verifiable on-chain.
How Does Locking Work?
Developers use time-locked contracts from platforms such as Unicrypt or Team Finance. These contracts restrict withdrawals until the expiration date, with all actions visible on-chain. Community members can verify the lock status through public blockchain explorers.
Burned vs Locked Liquidity
Burned liquidity is permanent and cannot be undone. Locked liquidity is temporary. Each has its own risk model and validation process.
