Raydium is where self-launched Solana tokens seed their pools — and it's also the one venue with a free, native, permanent lock built in. So before the how-to: if your liquidity is never coming back, use Raydium's own Burn & Earn. If it is, here's the time-locked alternative.
Can you lock Raydium LP tokens?
Yes — Raydium LP tokens are supported by Team Finance's Solana locker (per the product's own documentation: compatible LP tokens from most Solana DEXes, including Raydium — as of August 2026), locked in an audited vault for a flat $150 in SOL. Raydium is the most common case the locker handles: it's the default venue for projects that skip launchpads and seed their own pools, which makes "lock the Raydium LP" the standard follow-up to a self-launch. One honest note on coverage: Raydium has several pool architectures, and the locker supports compatible LP tokens rather than publishing a per-pool-type matrix — if your specific position fails to lock, Team Finance support responds in ~5 minutes via Telegram, and concentrated positions are worth confirming before you plan around them.
Should you use Burn & Earn instead?
If the liquidity is permanent, yes — Burn & Earn is Raydium's free, native option that irreversibly locks a position while the creator keeps earning its trading fees, and for forever-locks it beats any third-party locker including ours. That's the honest first fork, covered fully in burned vs locked. A Team Finance time lock is the tool for the other case: liquidity your treasury needs back on a date — a planned pool migration, CEX listing capital, a scheduled liquidity strategy. Permanent question, Raydium's tool; dated question, a time-locked vault with the date and the reason published.
How do you lock Raydium LP tokens with Team Finance?
Minutes, on the Solana mini-site:
- Connect the wallet holding the Raydium LP tokens. The connected wallet is permanent for this lock — it cannot be changed after deployment. Decide custody first.
- Enter the LP token address. The app reads the pool details so you can confirm the right pair.
- Set amount and unlock date. Lock substantially all project-held LP, for a duration you'll defend publicly — and publish the reason you're locking rather than burning; on Solana that sentence is expected.
- Pay $150 in SOL and deploy. Flat at any pool size (pricing) — notable on Raydium specifically, where the main paid alternative charges 0.75 SOL plus 1% of the locked LP plus 4% of collected fees. Network fees: fractions of a cent.
- Publish the lock page + Solscan link and show holders the verification flow.
What does a Raydium lock cost compared to the alternatives?
Flat $150 with no percentage taken, versus free-but-permanent (Burn & Earn), free-but-bare (Jupiter Lock), or percentage-based (UNCX: 0.75 SOL + 1% of your LP + 4% of collected fees — $1,000+ of a $100k position before the fee share). The full table with sources is in Solana lockers compared; the summary for Raydium specifically: permanent lock → Burn & Earn, free; time-limited lock where legibility matters → flat $150; time-limited and you only need the raw primitive → Jupiter Lock is free and we'd rather tell you than have you feel sold to.
FAQ
Which Raydium pool types can be locked? The locker supports compatible Raydium LP tokens; a per-architecture matrix isn't published, so for concentrated (CLMM) positions specifically, confirm with support before planning around a lock. Standard pair LP is the common, well-trodden case.
Does a locked Raydium position keep earning fees? Fee mechanics depend on pool type and lock structure — confirm for your position before locking. (Burn & Earn, by contrast, is explicitly designed to keep fees flowing to the creator.)
Can I lock part and burn part? Yes — the hybrid is legitimate if both halves are public: burn the permanent core, time-lock the working remainder, disclose the split.
Can I extend the lock later? Locks can't be shortened or withdrawn early by anyone. For extensions and changes on Solana specifically, confirm current capabilities with support before you need them.
