Lock Tokens
Prove to your community that tokens or LP cannot be moved until a future date.
Before you start
- The token or LP token contract address
- Tokens or LP tokens in your wallet that you want to lock
- ETH for gas
Connect your wallet and paste the token address
Connect your wallet. In the Token Address field, paste the contract address of the token or LP token you want to lock. For LP tokens, use the LP token contract address (not your token's address). Your balance loads automatically.
Token or LP Token Address
To lock LP, paste the LP token address — found on the Add Liquidity page
Enter the amount to lock
Enter the number of tokens (or LP tokens) you want to lock. You can click "Max" to lock your entire balance. You can make multiple separate locks for the same token if you want different unlock dates for different portions.
Amount to Lock
Set the unlock date
Choose the earliest date the tokens can be withdrawn. Tokens are completely inaccessible before this date — not even the lock owner can get them out early. Choosing a longer lock date (e.g. 1 year) signals stronger commitment to your community.
Unlock Date
Lock your LP tokens for at least 6 months to appear credible on DEX screeners like DexTools and DexScreener.
(Optional) Enable vesting for gradual release
Vesting releases tokens gradually over time instead of all at once. Toggle on "Enable Vesting", then set the TGE % (what releases immediately on the start date), the cycle length (e.g. 30 days), and the amount released per cycle. This is useful for team token locks.

(Optional) Upload a token logo
In the Token Logo section, click the image box or "Choose image" to select a PNG, JPEG, GIF, or WEBP file (max 2 MB). The logo uploads to GitHub immediately and a green checkmark confirms success. When your lock confirms on-chain, the image is automatically attached to the Telegram admin notification. If you skip this step the notification is still sent — just without a photo.
Token Logo
Upload the logo before clicking Lock so it is ready when the on-chain confirmation arrives.
Click Lock and confirm the transaction
Click "Lock Tokens". Your wallet first asks you to approve the token spend, then confirms the lock transaction. Both require gas. Once confirmed, the lock is live on-chain and cannot be cancelled.
Share your lock as proof
After locking, a success confirmation appears with your lock ID. Go to the Explore Locks page and search for your token address — your lock shows up there with all its details. Share that URL with your community or investors as verifiable proof that the tokens are secured.
