Uniswap is roughly three-quarters of Arbitrum's DEX volume, and most of that liquidity is v3 — which means it's held as position NFTs, not LP tokens. That changes the lock mechanics, the fee math, and one decision you can't undo afterwards. Here's the whole thing.
Can you lock a Uniswap v3 position on Arbitrum?
Yes — Uniswap v3 position NFTs lock on Arbitrum, and this isn't a claim from a features page: positions are sitting in the Team Finance locker on Arbitrum right now, verifiable on Arbiscan. The same locker also holds SushiSwap v3 positions, which is worth knowing because it tells you the lock accepts standard position NFTs rather than a short list of blessed venues. If you're locking a Uniswap v3 position on Arbitrum, you're on the well-trodden path, not the frontier.
Where we'll be straight with you: Camelot v3 (Algebra) positions are a plausible fit mechanically but nothing of that type is locked today and we haven't verified the interface offers it — confirm with support before you build a launch around it. Same for Balancer pool tokens and Ramses positions.
How is locking a v3 position different from locking LP tokens?
A v3 lock vaults one specific NFT with its own price range, where a classic lock takes a quantity of fungible tokens — three practical consequences:
You lock a position, not a balance. Each NFT is identified by its token ID. Liquidity spread across three positions needs three locks, each with its own fee.
The range keeps working while locked. A locked position still earns fees inside its range; the lock removes withdrawal rights, not the position's economics. Fee collection while locked is supported at the contract level — confirm the flow for your specific position before relying on it operationally.
Range choice becomes permanent for the lock's duration. You can't rebalance a locked position — changing a v3 range means withdrawing and re-minting, which the lock exists to prevent. Set the range before locking, and think hard about whether a narrow range you can't adjust for eighteen months is really what you want as your public proof.
How do you lock a v3 position on Arbitrum?
- Create the position on Uniswap on Arbitrum. Choose pair, fee tier, and range. For a position whose main job is credibility, full range is the conservative default — it can't drift out of range and become "locked liquidity that isn't providing any."
- Open team.finance, select Arbitrum, connect the wallet holding the position NFT.
- Select the position. Confirm the token ID, pair, and range are the ones you mean — the position ID is what gets vaulted.
- Set the unlock date. A year or more if this is diligence-facing. No early withdrawal, by anyone, ever.
- Approve the NFT and pay the fee. $150 flat in ETH (pricing); Arbitrum gas is fractions of a cent.
- Save the proof. The lock issues an on-chain certificate NFT, and the position is visible in the locker on Arbiscan — show your community how to check.
What does a v3 lock cost compared to the alternatives?
$150 flat, with nothing taken from the position — versus the percentage models that dominate v3 locking elsewhere. The main paid alternative on Arbitrum charges no flat fee at all for v3 locks, which looks unbeatable until you read the rest: 0.5% of the liquidity plus 2% of collected fees, ongoing. On a $50,000 position that's $250 up front against our $150, plus a permanent 2% haircut on everything the position earns. On a $500,000 treasury position it's $2,500 plus the fee share. Below roughly $30,000 of liquidity, their model is cheaper and we'll say so. Above it, flat pricing wins and keeps winning. The full table, including the free options, is in lockers and vesting compared.
Should you lock full-range or a concentrated position?
Full range for credibility, concentrated for capital efficiency — and be honest with yourself about which job the position is doing. A locked full-range position is legible: it's providing liquidity across all prices, it can't drift out of range, and anyone verifying it sees exactly what they expect. A locked narrow-range position is capital-efficient right up until price moves outside it, at which point your "locked liquidity" is a single-asset position doing nothing for traders — and sophisticated reviewers do check. If the position is your public trust signal, take the conservative range. If it's treasury capital being managed for yield, consider whether it needs locking at all, or whether the team allocation is the more meaningful thing to lock.
FAQ
Are v3 position locks really supported, or is this inferred? Observable, not inferred — Uniswap v3 and SushiSwap v3 positions are held in the Arbitrum locker contract today and visible on Arbiscan.
Does a locked position still earn fees? The position continues earning within its range; fee collection while locked is supported at the contract level. Confirm the specifics for your position before depending on it operationally.
Can I change the range or add liquidity to a locked position? No. Both require withdrawing the position, which the lock prevents. Configure fully before locking.
Can I lock several positions? Yes — each position NFT locks individually, with its own fee and its own certificate.
What about Camelot v3? Unverified. Mechanically it should work; nothing of that type is locked today and interface support isn't confirmed. Ask support first.
