Your liquidity is already burned.
Your team tokens aren’t.
On PulseChain the dominant launch pipeline burns LP tokens at graduation — so the usual “lock your liquidity” advice mostly doesn’t apply here. This hub covers what actually still needs locking: team allocations, vesting schedules and distribution.
Nearly every guide on the internet tells PulseChain founders to lock their liquidity. On this chain that advice is usually already obsolete — pump.tires burns the LP tokens automatically at graduation, permanently. The liquidity is settled. The founder wallet is not. Full story below ↓

When a coin graduates on pump.tires, the LP tokens are burned, not locked — the liquidity is permanently unremovable and there is nothing left to send to a locker. Anyone selling you an LP lock for a graduated pump.tires token is selling you nothing. Burned vs locked →
Burned liquidity proves one thing only: the pool can’t be pulled. It says nothing about the founder allocation, the treasury, or the team wallet — which is exactly where buyers now look. That’s the work this hub covers. Manual PulseX LP positions created outside pump.tires are lockable; that case is real but narrower.

⚡ The chain, live.
Everyone is selling PulseChain founders a lock they don’t need. Here’s what the money actually buys — no jargon required.
What PulseChain is. An independent EVM layer-1 with chain ID 369. Gas is paid in PLS. Contracts are read on scan.pulsechain.com. If you have deployed on any EVM chain, the mechanics will be familiar — the tooling, the wallets and the standards all carry across.
Where the tokens come from. pump.tires is the dominant launch pipeline. A coin bonds on a curve, and at graduation — 200M PLS of bid liquidity, roughly $2,860 at August 2026 prices — it lists on PulseX. At that moment the LP tokens are burned automatically, and ownership is renounced. Roughly 19–25 genuinely new tokens a day arrive this way.
Why the standard advice fails here. A liquidity lock parks LP tokens in a vault until a date you choose. A burn destroys them outright. Burning is the stronger of the two and it is irreversible — so a graduated pump.tires token has nothing left to lock, and anyone charging for that lock is charging for a transaction that cannot happen. Say it plainly: burned is not locked, and on this chain that is good news.
What still needs doing. Burned liquidity says nothing about the founder wallet, the treasury or the marketing allocation — and that is where buyers now look. Team token locks make the founder allocation immovable on a public schedule. Vesting releases it gradually instead of all at once. Multisender and airdrops get it out to holders without a thousand manual transactions. And if you seeded a PulseX pool by hand rather than through a launcher, that LP is genuinely lockable.

The coin trades up a curve on pump.tires. No platform fee; the contract burns 1% of each trade in PLS until graduation.
At 200M PLS of bid liquidity the pool lists on PulseX. LP tokens are burned automatically. Ownership renounced.
The founder allocation, treasury and marketing wallets go under a team lock or a vesting schedule. This is the step nearly everyone skips.
Multisender and airdrops move tokens to holders; free staking pools give them a reason to hold. Then prove all of it on-chain.
- graduation /ˌɡrædʒuˈeɪʃən/ · noun
- The moment a bonding-curve coin collects enough bid liquidity to be moved onto a real DEX pool. On pump.tires that threshold is 200M PLS. It is also the moment the LP tokens are burned — which is why a graduated token has no liquidity left to lock. What to do next →
- burned liquidity /bɜːnd lɪˈkwɪdɪti/ · noun
- LP tokens sent to an address nobody controls, destroying them permanently. The pool stays; the ability to withdraw it does not. Stronger than a lock, and unlike a lock it can never be extended, split or reversed. Burned vs locked →
- “lock your LP” /lɒk jɔː ˌel ˈpiː/ · myth
- Usually wrong on PulseChain. If your token graduated through pump.tires, the LP was burned at listing and there is nothing to send to a locker. The advice is imported from chains where graduation LP survives. Manually seeded PulseX positions are the genuine exception — check which one you have before you pay for anything →
Asked constantly.
1Do I need to lock liquidity on PulseChain?
Usually not. If your token graduated through pump.tires, the LP tokens were burned automatically at graduation, which permanently locks the liquidity — there is nothing left to send to a locker. Locking applies to PulseX LP positions you created manually, outside a launcher.
2What is the difference between burned and locked liquidity?
A lock places LP tokens in a vault contract that releases them on a date you set. A burn destroys the LP tokens outright, so the liquidity can never be withdrawn by anyone. A burn is the stronger and permanent form; a lock is the reversible, time-bound form.
3My token just graduated. What should I actually lock?
Lock the team side. The founder allocation, treasury and marketing wallets are what buyers can still see moving, and a team token lock or a vesting schedule is what makes them provably immovable. The full post-graduation sequence →
4What does Team Finance cost on PulseChain?
As of August 2026: token creation and staking pools are free, multisender is $50, vesting and airdrops are $100 each, and locks are $150. Fees are fixed in USD terms and charged in PLS, the chain’s native token.
5Can I lock PulseX LP tokens?
Yes, if you hold them. A PulseX v2-style LP position you seeded yourself is a standard ERC-20 LP token and can be locked like any other. A pump.tires graduation pool is not, because those LP tokens no longer exist. How to lock a PulseX LP →
6How do I verify that liquidity is burned rather than just claimed?
Open the pool on scan.pulsechain.com and look at who holds the LP tokens. Liquidity that has been burned shows the LP supply sitting at a dead address; liquidity that has been locked shows it held by a locker contract with a published unlock date. Step by step →
7What is the difference between a team lock and vesting?
A lock is a single promise — everything releases on one date. Vesting is a payroll — a gradual release on a schedule, per recipient. Teams that intend to be around for a while generally use both. Vesting on PulseChain →
8What is the chain ID and explorer for PulseChain?
PulseChain uses chain ID 369, and its block explorer is scan.pulsechain.com. Gas is paid in PLS. Any tool that supports custom EVM networks can be pointed at it.
9Is there a PulseChain equivalent of PinkLock or UNCX?
Not currently. Neither UNCX nor PinkSale lists PulseChain support as of August 2026, and Smithii has not queued the chain either. Team Finance is the tier-1 option here, which is a statement about coverage rather than a claim about quality.
