Locked liquidity means LP tokens from your AMM deposit are in a verified locker program or burned — so underlying pool assets cannot be withdrawn by the LP holder until unlock (or ever, if burned). This is separate from revoked mint authority.
Founders say “100% liquidity locked” while buyers see pullable depth on-chain. Pool-count marketing hides USD-weighted custody risk.
Create Raydium CPMM liquidity via /lp and receive LP tokens.
Choose time-lock (Streamflow, Team Finance, etc.) or permanent burn to incinerator.
Publish verifiable lock URL or burn transaction — not a Telegram claim.
What this means
Launch Score uses USD-weighted custody: securedPct = verifiedSecuredLiquidityUsd ÷ totalExecutableLiquidityUsd. Example: Pool A $90k unlocked + Pool B $10k locked → securedPct ≈ 10%, not “mostly locked.” Ten $1k locked pools do not offset one $100k unlocked Raydium pool. Multiple pools also fragment routes — buyers care about depth on the pool Jupiter actually routes through. Unknown custody is not proof of a rug; it means the lock was not verified on platform records.
Step-by-step
Create Raydium CPMM liquidity via /lp and receive LP tokens.
Choose time-lock (Streamflow, Team Finance, etc.) or permanent burn to incinerator.
Publish verifiable lock URL or burn transaction — not a Telegram claim.
Check Launch Score securedPct after lock/burn propagates.
If you add secondary pools later, each needs its own custody proof — one lock does not cover all pools.
Common mistakes
Reporting “100% locked” when securedPct is low because the largest pool is unlocked.
Counting number of locked pools instead of USD-weighted secured liquidity.
Confusing revoked mint authority with LP custody.
Expecting MakeMeACoin to lock LP — it creates pools; you lock or burn separately.
