Lock Liquidity on Solana — Permanently
Every serious buyer runs the same check on a new token: can the team pull the liquidity? While you hold your LP position the honest answer is yes — and scanners say so. Locking the position permanently flips that answer to no, on-chain, where anyone can verify it. You give up exactly one thing: the ability to ever withdraw the principal. The trading fees it earns stay yours, forever.
The exact total — platform fee plus the real network cost — is quoted in the console before anything is signed.
What locking actually proves
A locked position cannot be withdrawn — not by you, not by us, not after any amount of time. That single fact is what token scanners and careful buyers look for, because pulled liquidity is how most holders actually lose money. Locking replaces a promise with a property of the chain: anyone who checks gets the same answer, and nobody has to take your word for anything.
You keep earning the whole time
The lock covers the principal, not the income. Your position keeps collecting its share of every trade exactly as before, and you sweep those fees whenever you like from the claim page. Done right, locking is not a sacrifice — it is trading away a power buyers fear for trust you cannot fake.
Permanent means permanent
There is no unlock, no timeout, and no support ticket that can reverse it. Because of that, the page makes you type an exact confirmation phrase naming the position before the button arms, and it checks the live on-chain state before anything is built. One signature later, the lock is a public fact.
The honest limits
Locking makes one fact checkable — it does not make a token safe. A team can still hold and sell supply, and a token with locked liquidity can still go to zero. Scope matters too: this page locks Orca positions; if your pool lives on Raydium, the equivalent permanent lock is Burn & Earn, which adds a transferable fee key on top.
Questions
- Can a locked position ever be unlocked?
- No. The lock is permanent by design — that permanence is precisely what makes it worth something to a buyer. If you might ever need the liquidity back, do not lock it; a lock you could undo would prove nothing.
- Do I still earn trading fees after locking?
- Yes, all of them. The lock removes only the right to withdraw the principal. Fees accrue exactly as before and are claimed the same way, as often as you like.
- How do buyers verify my liquidity is locked?
- The lock is on-chain state, not a badge on a website. Scanners and explorers read it straight from the position, and anyone who looks gets the same answer — that is the entire value of doing it.
- Why isn’t my position showing as lockable?
- The scan lists Orca positions the connected wallet owns that can actually be locked — current-generation positions that are not locked already. Raydium liquidity is locked with Burn & Earn instead, and positions on other platforms have their own tools.
