Graduation answered the liquidity question for you — four.meme migrates the pool to PancakeSwap and burns the LP, so nobody can pull it, including you. What graduation didn't answer is the question your new holders are now asking on BscScan: what about your wallets?
Is a graduated four.meme token's liquidity locked?
Better — it's burned: on graduation, four.meme migrates the bonding curve's liquidity to a PancakeSwap pool and burns the LP tokens, making the pool permanently unpullable by design (mechanics as of August 2026 — verify current details on four.meme's own docs). That satisfies the strongest half of BNB Chain's own lock-or-burn standard automatically, and it means one thing clearly: you don't need a liquidity locker for the graduated pool, and anyone selling you one for that job is selling theater. The three-minute BscScan check will show your LP at the dead address — link it proudly.
What's still at risk after graduation?
Everything supply-side: creator allocation, dev wallets, early sniped bags — because a burned pool doesn't stop anyone from selling into it. Post-graduation collapses on BSC come overwhelmingly from insider supply hitting the market, and this chain's buyers were trained by a decade of exactly that: the first thing they do after your graduation is map your top holders. Unlabeled creator supply sitting loose is now the biggest visible risk on your token — and unlike the pool, it's entirely yours to fix.
What should you lock after graduation?
The supply you control, in public staggered tranches — the single highest-impact trust move available to a graduated token:
- Map your own wallets first. Everything you and the team control, listed honestly — your holders are building this list right now; publish yours before theirs circulates.
- Lock the majority in staggered team token locks. $150 per lock in BNB, spaced unlock dates — a plan, not a cliff. Standard BEP-20s lock directly.
- Keep a stated working allowance. Lock most, disclose the remainder and its purpose — locked-100%-then-begging is its own failure mode.
- Publish the proof pack. Burn transaction (the protocol's), your lock pages, wallet labels — pinned, before the first "dev wallets?" post. Proofs published proactively read as planning; the same proofs after a dump read as damage control.
Does locking creator supply actually matter for a memecoin?
It removes the one discount every rational buyer applies to a graduated token: the insider-exit risk — and it's the main lever you still hold. It won't make the meme fun or the chart green; it makes your token pass the full safety check that every serious BSC buyer runs, at the exact moment your graduation put you in front of them. Graduated tokens are the tiny surviving fraction of the launchpad firehose; the ones that turn a graduation into a run are disproportionately the ones whose teams did this boring work in the first week. If you're planning the next launch and wondering whether to start on a launchpad at all, the launch stack maps the four routes.
FAQ
Do I need to lock liquidity for a graduated four.meme token? No — the protocol burned the graduated LP; there's nothing in your hands to lock. Your lockable risk is token supply, not the pool.
How much of the creator supply should be locked? Most of it, in staggered tranches, with the unlocked working remainder stated and justified. Partial locks with silent remainders invite exactly the scrutiny you're ending.
What does it cost? $150 per lock in BNB, flat regardless of amount; tranches pay per lock. Gas is cents.
Can I lock snipers' bags too? No — only what you control. What you can do is make your wallets legible so the market can tell insider supply from independent whales.
When? This week, not after the first red candle. The proof's value is highest before anyone asked for it.
