A lock claim is not the receipt
- Do not accept locked liquidity as a slogan.
- Find the lock provider, transaction, locker page, or explorer proof.
- Check that the locked LP belongs to the same pair being promoted.

DexScreener liquidity lock check: receipts before reassurance.
Locked liquidity sounds comforting. It is useful only when the receipt is real, the pool is the right pool, and the lock covers the liquidity people are pointing at.
Match the lock to the correct pool
- Confirm chain, pair, base token, quote token, and token address.
- A lock on a tiny side pool does not protect the main trading route.
- If multiple pools exist, identify which one has real volume and depth.
The quick decision rule
A good liquidity lock check answers three things: which pool, how much liquidity, and where is the public receipt?
If the chart is loud but the proof path is quiet, slow down. Fast entries are not a personality trait.
Check what is not locked
- Unlocked liquidity can still be pulled.
- Owner permissions, tax controls, or blacklist logic may still create risk.
- A lock does not fix a wrong contract or fake source trail.
Use lock claims as one signal
- Good lock receipts reduce one risk, not all risks.
- Combine them with source, route, holder, authority, and volume checks.
- If the lock proof is hard to find, the claim should not carry the trade.

FAQ
Does locked liquidity mean a token cannot rug?
No. It reduces one liquidity-removal risk, but other risks can remain through controls, concentration, taxes, or fake source claims.
What proof should I look for?
Look for a locker page, transaction, LP token proof, or explorer record that matches the exact pair being promoted.
Can a project lock the wrong liquidity?
Yes. A lock can apply to a small or irrelevant pool while the promoted route uses another pool.
