Liquidity locks
A liquidity lock keeps a pool's LP tokens in a contract until a set date, so the team cannot withdraw the pool before then.
- What it means
- Locked LP tokens cannot be pulled while the lock runs, but any unlocked part can, and the protection stops on the end date.
- What to watch
- What share of the LP tokens is locked, the date the lock ends, and who can withdraw once it does.
- How Compass-Alpha uses it
