# How do I know if a Solana token's liquidity is locked?

Check the token's liquidity pool and see whether its LP tokens are locked in a locker or burned. If the creator holds the LP tokens, they can withdraw the pool and leave buyers with nothing. A safety report shows a lock flag, but it can be unknown, so confirm the lock yourself on-chain.

## Steps
1. **Find the mint and the pool.** Copy the mint address, then find its main liquidity pool on the DEX pair page.
2. **Run the check.** Paste the mint into /token-check and read the liquidity locked field. It can come back as locked, not locked, or unknown, and unknown is not the same as safe.
3. **Find the LP token holders.** On a block explorer, open the pool's LP token mint and look at who holds it. A burn address or a known locker program is a better sign than a personal wallet.
4. **Check the lock terms.** If a locker is used, look at when the lock expires. A short lock only delays the risk.
5. **Check total liquidity.** Look at how much liquidity the pool holds. A locked but tiny pool can still be hard to sell into.

## FAQ
### What does an unknown liquidity lock mean?
The data source could not determine the lock status. Treat it as unverified. Check the LP token holders on a block explorer instead of assuming it is locked.

### Is burned liquidity better than locked?
Burned LP tokens can never be withdrawn, while a lock usually expires. Both reduce the risk of a pool pull, but they do not stop other problems such as large holders selling.

### Do pump.fun tokens have locked liquidity?
Pump.fun tokens trade on a bonding curve first and move to a DEX pool when they graduate. How the pool liquidity is handled afterwards should be checked per token.
