Lock Raydium Liquidity with Burn & Earn
Raydium’s Burn & Earn answers the question every launch faces — how do we prove the liquidity is safe? — without the old cost of burning your LP and losing its income. It locks all of a pool’s liquidity permanently, and in exchange mints you a Fee Key: a transferable token that keeps collecting the pool’s trading fees for as long as the pool trades. Buyers get a lock they can verify; you keep the yield.
The exact total — platform fee plus the real network cost — is quoted in the console before anything is signed.
What the lock does
Your pool’s LP tokens are locked in one signed transaction, permanently. From that moment no one — including you — can withdraw the liquidity, and any scanner reading the chain will say so. It is the strongest liquidity guarantee a Raydium pool can make, which is why it is not a casual click: the page requires a typed confirmation naming the exact pool before it will arm.
The Fee Key is the “earn” half
Locking mints a Fee Key to your wallet — an on-chain token whose holder can claim the locked position’s trading fees. It is transferable on purpose: keep it, move it to a treasury wallet, or hand it to a successor. Treat it like the asset it is, because whoever holds the Fee Key collects the fees — and if it is lost, the fees are lost with it.
Burn & Earn versus just burning LP
Burning LP tokens the old way proves the same lock but destroys the income forever — every fee the pool earns afterwards is simply unclaimable. Burn & Earn proves the identical fact while keeping the fee stream alive. As choices go it is rarely a real one: the lock is equally permanent, and only one of the two keeps paying you.
Checked live, framed honestly
The scan reads your wallet’s Raydium liquidity live and shows exactly what a lock would cover before you type anything. And the caveat that applies everywhere applies here: a lock makes one fact checkable — it does not make a token safe, and it says nothing about the supply the team still holds.
Questions
- Can I unlock the liquidity later?
- No. Burn & Earn is permanent — there is no unlock and no override, by design. If you need the option of withdrawing someday, do not lock; a reversible lock would prove nothing to anyone.
- What exactly is the Fee Key?
- A token minted to your wallet when you lock. Holding it is what grants the right to claim the locked position’s trading fees. It is transferable: sell or send it and the new holder collects from then on; lose it and nobody can.
- Does the lock cover all of my LP?
- Yes — it locks the pool’s full LP balance in your wallet, not a slice. A partial lock reads as a partial promise, and the point of this operation is a promise without an asterisk.
- How do I claim the fees after locking?
- Connect the wallet holding the Fee Key and use Claim Locked-LP Fees. A claim sweeps the accrued trading fees to your wallet and never touches the lock itself.
