Arc Liquidity Locker

A locked pool is the single most legible signal that a launch is not going to be abandoned. The Arc Liquidity Locker holds your LP tokens in a contract that will not release them before the unlock timestamp you set, and exposes that timestamp so anyone can read it. Traders check the lock before buying; you get the LP tokens back, with the accrued fees, on the date you chose.

Lock LP tokens until a date anyone can verify

Locking does not ask a trader to trust you. The locker records the LP token, the amount and the unlock timestamp on Arc Mainnet, and it has no owner function, no pause and no emergency withdrawal — so the only thing that can move the tokens is the unlock date passing.

You stay in control — Arctools never takes custody of your tokens or liquidity.

Lock LP tokens

The tokens leave your wallet until the unlock date. Nobody — including Arctools — can release them early.

Enter the LP token address.

LP

Enter the amount of LP tokens to lock.

Who can claim the LP tokens once the lock expires. Defaults to your connected wallet — set a different address for a vesting or treasury arrangement.

Between 7 and 1825 days from now.

Why this lock is verifiable

The whole point is that the promise is not a promise.

The locker contract exposes the LP token, the locked amount and the unlock timestamp for every lock. Anyone can read those values on the Arc Explorer without trusting Arctools, you, or a screenshot. There is no owner function, no pause and no emergency withdrawal — claim is the only path LP tokens can leave, and it refuses to run before the unlock time.

  1. 1Lock the LP tokensOne transaction moves the LP from your wallet to the locker and records the unlock date immutably.
  2. 2Share the lock recordPoint traders at the LP token address on the Arc Explorer. The lock is readable directly from the contract.
  3. 3Claim after the unlock dateOnce the timestamp passes, the beneficiary claims the LP tokens along with every swap fee the position earned while locked.
Two-column diagram comparing the two ways to protect a pool on Arc Mainnet. Locking sends the LP tokens to the Arc Liquidity Locker until a public unlock timestamp, with no owner override or emergency withdrawal, and the beneficiary claims the tokens and their earned swap fees at expiry. Burning sends the LP tokens to a burn address, which can never be withdrawn by anyone and cannot be reversed or migrated.
Both are readable onchain from the LP token holder, so either one answers the question a buyer is asking — can this liquidity leave? A lock keeps your options; a burn removes them.
Capabilities

What Arc Liquidity Locker does

Every option you need to lock LP tokens on Arc Mainnet until a date you choose and prove it onchain — configured before you sign, not patched in afterwards.

Public, verifiable unlock date

The unlock timestamp is stored in the locker contract and readable by anyone, so a trader does not have to take your word for the lock duration.

Flexible lock periods

Lock for thirty days before a listing, six months for credibility, or several years for a long-horizon project. The term is yours to choose and is fixed once set.

No early withdrawal path

The contract has no owner override and no emergency function. Nobody, including Arctools, can release the LP tokens before the unlock date.

One lock per position

Each lock records the LP token, amount, beneficiary and unlock time separately, so multiple lockers or multiple pools are individually readable.

Withdraw after expiry

Once the unlock time passes, the beneficiary claims the LP tokens in full, including all swap fees the position earned while locked.

Flexible beneficiary

Lock from the wallet that holds the LP tokens but name a different beneficiary — useful for vesting schedules, treasury wallets or team allocations.

FAQ

Arc Liquidity Locker — frequently asked questions

Straight answers about how this works on Arc Mainnet, what it costs and what happens onchain.

Why lock liquidity instead of burning it?
Burning LP tokens is the strongest possible commitment because the liquidity can never be withdrawn, but it also means you cannot ever migrate to a new pool or recover the assets. Locking for a defined period gives most of the credibility — traders can verify you cannot exit today — while keeping the option to move later. For a first launch, a twelve-month lock is the common middle ground.
How do traders verify my liquidity is locked?
The locker contract publicly exposes the LP token address, the locked amount and the unlock timestamp for every lock. Anyone can read those values on the Arc Explorer or from the contract directly. Arctools also highlights the lock on the token's launch record so it is visible without knowing the contract internals.
Can I unlock early in an emergency?
No, and that is the point. A locker that offers an emergency withdrawal offers no protection at all, because the same key that could rescue a pool could also empty it. If you need flexibility, lock a smaller share of the LP and keep the rest liquid — but be transparent about which portion is locked.
Does locking liquidity cost me the trading fees?
No. Fees accrue into the pool reserves, which belong to the LP tokens. When the lock expires and you withdraw, you receive the LP tokens along with every fee they earned while locked. Locking delays access, it does not forfeit yield.
What happens at the unlock date?
Nothing happens automatically — the contract simply stops refusing withdrawal. The beneficiary then calls the claim function whenever convenient. There is no penalty for claiming late, so the LP tokens keep earning until you collect them.
Can I lock LP tokens from a pool I did not create with Arctools?
Yes. Any Uniswap V2 pair LP token on Arc Mainnet can be locked, regardless of where you created it. You only need to hold the LP tokens in the wallet that submits the lock.
