When you create a liquidity pool on a DEX, you receive LP tokens representing your share of the pool. These tokens are usually transferable — which means you can withdraw your liquidity at any time, even if it devastates the token’s price. A liquidity lock renders those LP tokens non-transferable until the unlock date. The contract enforces this at the protocol level — no admin key can override it. Investors and communities can verify the lock on-chain before participating in a presale or token sale.
Not all locks are equal. A timelock that can be emergency-withdrawn by an admin is not a true lock. The Lester Labs Liquidity Locker is immutable after deployment — once locked, the LP cannot be moved until the timestamp is reached.
Navigate to lester-labs.com/locker. Connect your wallet holding the LP tokens you want to lock.
The UI shows all LP tokens held by your connected wallet. Select the one you want to lock.
Choose when the LP becomes transferable. Common choices: 6 months, 1 year, or 2 years. The further in the future, the more credibility it signals to your community.
Confirm the transaction. Once confirmed, the lock is permanent and immutably recorded on LitVM. Share the lock proof URL with your community.
