Token & Liquidity Locking

Lock tokens for vesting schedules or lock LP tokens to prove liquidity commitment. Time-based release.

Overview

ChainPortal provides two types of locking:

  1. Token Locking -- Lock tokens with a time-based release schedule (vesting)
  2. Liquidity Locking -- Lock LP (Liquidity Pool) tokens to prove commitment

Token Locking

What Is Token Locking?

Token locking puts tokens into a smart contract that releases them only after a specified date. This is commonly used for:

  • Team vesting -- Lock team tokens for 6-12 months
  • Investor vesting -- Gradual release over time
  • Trust building -- Show the community tokens are locked

How to Lock Tokens

1

Select token to lock

Choose from your deployed tokens or enter any token contract address.

2

Set lock amount

Enter the number of tokens to lock.

3

Set unlock date

Choose when the tokens should become available for withdrawal.

4

Approve & Lock

Approve the locker contract to spend your tokens, then confirm the lock transaction.

After Locking

  • View your active locks on the management dashboard
  • Tokens cannot be withdrawn until the unlock date
  • Once unlocked, you can withdraw to your wallet

Liquidity Locking

Why Lock Liquidity?

When you create a trading pair on a DEX (like Uniswap), you receive LP tokens representing your share of the pool. Locking these LP tokens proves to your community that:

  • You will not remove liquidity ("rug pull")
  • The trading pair will remain active
  • Your project has long-term commitment

Irreversible: Once LP tokens are locked, they cannot be withdrawn until the lock period ends — even by you. Choose your unlock date carefully.

How to Lock LP Tokens

1

Add liquidity on a DEX

First, add liquidity on Uniswap, PancakeSwap, Raydium, or another DEX. You'll receive LP tokens.

2

Navigate to Liquidity Locking

Go to the Liquidity Lock page in ChainPortal.

3

Select LP token

Enter your LP token contract address.

4

Set lock duration

Choose how long to lock (30 days, 90 days, 1 year, etc.).

5

Approve and lock your LP tokens.
