LP Locker
A smart contract that locks liquidity pool tokens on-chain until a set unlock date.
Definition
An LP locker is a smart contract that accepts liquidity pool (LP) tokens and holds them in a Program Derived Address on Solana until a specified unlock date.
LP tokens represent a share of a liquidity pool on a decentralised exchange such as Raydium or Meteora. When LP tokens are locked, the underlying liquidity cannot be withdrawn from the pool before the unlock date — this reduces liquidity removal risk for investors.
LP locking is standard practice for Solana projects at launch. It gives investors verifiable on-chain proof that the liquidity backing a token cannot be removed by the project team.
