How To Get The Dexscreener Padlock
The padlock shown on Dexscreener is one of the most recognized trust indicators in the Solana ecosystem. It signals that liquidity has been permanently locked by burning LP tokens, making those funds inaccessible for future withdrawal.
What Does The Padlock Mean?
When liquidity is added to a decentralized exchange, the liquidity provider receives LP tokens representing ownership of that pool.
Whoever controls those LP tokens can normally remove liquidity and withdraw the underlying assets.
Burning the LP tokens permanently removes that ownership, preventing liquidity from being withdrawn in the future.
Burned LP tokens cannot be recovered. Once destroyed, the liquidity remains permanently locked inside the pool.
Why Projects Burn LP Tokens
Traders often want reassurance that liquidity cannot suddenly be removed after launch.
By burning LP tokens, a project demonstrates that the liquidity has been permanently committed to the market.
- • Increases transparency
- • Creates public proof of locked liquidity
- • Reduces rug-pull concerns
- • Improves trader confidence
- • Provides a visible trust signal
Full Burn vs Partial Burn
SolanaBurner allows both complete and partial LP token burns.
A project can burn its entire LP position or only a percentage of the LP tokens it holds.
- • Use FULL to burn the entire LP balance
- • Enter a custom amount for a partial burn
- • Review the amount before approving
The percentage of LP burned directly affects how much liquidity remains withdrawable.
How To Burn LP Tokens
- 1. Connect your wallet
- 2. Click Scan Wallet
- 3. Locate the LP token
- 4. Enter an amount or press FULL
- 5. Click Burn
- 6. Approve the transaction
Once confirmed, the LP tokens are permanently removed from circulation.
When Does The Padlock Appear?
Dexscreener monitors liquidity information directly from the blockchain.
After LP tokens are burned, the platform usually updates automatically once the new liquidity state has been indexed.
In many cases the padlock appears within minutes, although timing may vary depending on indexing and network conditions.
