How to Lock Liquidity on Pump.fun in 2026
Locking liquidity on Pump.fun works differently from most Solana launchpads because of how PumpFun handles graduation. Here is exactly what gets locked automatically, what does not, and how to lock the parts that need manual locking.
Quick Answer
PumpFun automatically burns LP tokens when your token graduates from the bonding curve. Burned LP is permanent and cannot be pulled by anyone. You do not need to lock graduation liquidity manually.
What you do need to lock manually is your dev wallet token allocation, team tokens, and any additional PumpSwap LP tokens you add after graduation. Those are not covered by the graduation burn.
What Happens to Liquidity When a PumpFun Token Graduates?
When your token collects approximately 85 SOL in the bonding curve (SOL pairs) or reaches $58,783 (USDC pairs), it graduates from PumpFun. At that point:
- Liquidity migrates to PumpSwap automatically
- PumpFun permanently burns the LP tokens
- The graduation liquidity can never be pulled: by anyone, ever
This is one of the strongest trust signals in the Solana ecosystem. It is automatic and applies to every token that graduates. You do not need to do anything for this.
What Still Needs Locking After PumpFun Graduation?
Burned LP only covers the graduation liquidity pool. It does not affect:
Dev wallet tokens: your personal token allocation can still be sold at any time after graduation unless you lock it.
Team and investor allocations: any tokens held by team members, advisors, or early investors remain unlocked.
Additional PumpSwap liquidity: if you add more liquidity to PumpSwap after graduation, those new LP tokens are not automatically burned. They need to be locked separately.
Experienced investors check all three of these before buying. A graduated token with burned LP but an unlocked dev wallet is still a potential rug.
How to Lock Dev Wallet and Team Tokens After PumpFun Graduation
Lock PumpFun Tokens on StakePoint
Non-custodial token locking for dev wallets, team allocations, and PumpSwap LP. SPL and Token-2022 supported.
Go to stakepoint.app/lock-pumpfun-tokens and follow these steps:
Connect the wallet holding your PumpFun tokens
Click Create Lock
Select your token from the list: StakePoint auto-detects all SPL and Token-2022 tokens
Set the amount and lock duration
Confirm two transactions
Your lock is live on-chain immediately and publicly verifiable by anyone on Solscan. Share the lock URL in your Telegram and pin it.
Lock duration expectations in 2026: 6 months minimum, 12 months standard, 18 to 24 months for projects targeting serious investors.
How to Lock PumpSwap LP Tokens After Graduation
If you have added additional liquidity to PumpSwap after graduation, those LP tokens appear in your wallet and need locking separately.
Connect the wallet holding your PumpSwap LP tokens at stakepoint.app/lock-pumpfun-tokens
Click Create Lock
Select your PumpSwap LP token from the list
Set your lock duration
Confirm two transactions
StakePoint supports PumpSwap LP tokens natively alongside Raydium, Meteora, and Orca.
How to Lock Supply on Pump.fun
"Locking supply" on Pump.fun means locking the tokens you hold, not the pool. Before graduation the only supply you control is what the dev wallet bought on the bonding curve. After graduation it is that allocation plus anything the team bought or was allocated. Both lock the same way: connect the wallet at stakepoint.app/lock-pumpfun-tokens, select the token, choose the amount and duration, and confirm two transactions. The lock page shows the percentage of total supply locked, which is the number investors ask for.
A supply lock before graduation is rare and stands out. Most Pump.fun tokens never lock anything beyond the automatic LP burn.
How to Burn Liquidity on Pump.fun
You do not burn liquidity on Pump.fun yourself. The platform burns the LP tokens for the graduation pool automatically when the token migrates to PumpSwap. If you later add liquidity to PumpSwap and want it gone permanently, you can burn those LP tokens with the token burn tool. Burning is irreversible, so if you may need to rebalance that liquidity later, a time lock is the safer choice.
How to Remove Liquidity From a Pump.fun Token
Graduation liquidity cannot be removed by anyone, including the creator, because the LP tokens were burned. The only liquidity that can be removed is liquidity added to PumpSwap after graduation, and only by the wallet holding those LP tokens, and only if they are not locked. If you see "remove liquidity" available on a Pump.fun token, it is referring to post-graduation PumpSwap liquidity. This is why investors check whether any additional LP is locked.
How to Add Liquidity to a Pump.fun Token
After graduation your token trades on PumpSwap. Open the pool on PumpSwap, deposit the token and SOL in the current ratio, and you receive PumpSwap LP tokens in your wallet. Those LP tokens are not burned. Lock them on StakePoint straight away so the added liquidity carries the same guarantee as the graduation pool.
The Full PumpFun Trust Stack in 2026
The most trusted PumpFun projects combine three layers of on-chain proof:
Burned LP: handled automatically by PumpFun on graduation. No action needed.
Locked dev and team tokens: lock these on StakePoint immediately after graduation. Share the public lock URL with your community.
Active staking pool: create a staking pool for your token so holders earn rewards rather than dump. Staked tokens reduce sell pressure and increase retention.
Most PumpFun projects have none of these beyond the automatic LP burn. Having all three makes your project practically un-FUDable.
How Investors Verify Your PumpFun Liquidity Lock
Every lock on StakePoint has a public URL showing the token mint, amount locked, unlock date, and creator wallet. Investors can verify independently on Solscan without needing to trust anything the team tells them.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does PumpFun lock liquidity automatically?
PumpFun burns LP tokens on graduation which is stronger than a lock: burned LP can never be withdrawn. But this only covers the graduation liquidity pool, not your personal token holdings.
Do I need to lock LP on PumpFun before graduation?
No: before graduation there is no liquidity pool yet so there are no LP tokens to lock. You can lock your dev wallet token allocation before graduation as an early trust signal. Almost no other PumpFun project does this which makes it a powerful differentiator.
What is the difference between a token lock and an LP lock on PumpFun?
A token lock secures your dev wallet or team token supply. An LP lock secures the liquidity pool tokens. PumpFun handles LP automatically on graduation. You handle token locks manually using StakePoint.
Can StakePoint access my locked PumpFun tokens?
No. Locked tokens are held in Program Derived Addresses with no private keys. Nobody including StakePoint can withdraw tokens before the unlock date. Only the original locker wallet can claim tokens after unlock.
