How to Lock PumpFun Tokens on Solana (2026)
StakePoint2 min read·Just now--
If you are launching on Pump.fun, locking your dev and team tokens is the fastest way to build investor trust. Here is exactly how to do it.
How to lock PumpFun tokens:
- Go to stakepoint.app/locks and connect the wallet holding your tokens
- Click Create Lock
- Select your PumpFun token (SPL and Token-2022 both supported)
- Enter the amount and set your lock duration
- Confirm the transaction
- Your lock is live on-chain instantly and publicly verifiable by anyone
Takes under 60 seconds. Works before graduation while still on the bonding curve, and after graduation on PumpSwap.
Before graduation
Most devs skip this. Locking your tokens before you start promoting tells buyers you are serious from day one. It converts sceptics into buyers and gives you shareable on-chain proof before your first push.
After graduation
PumpFun permanently burns the LP when your token graduates. That part is handled for you. What still needs locking is your dev wallet, team tokens, and any marketing allocation. If you have added liquidity on Raydium or PumpSwap after graduation, those LP tokens need locking separately.
How long should you lock?
6 months is the minimum investors accept in 2026. 12 months is the standard for credible projects. For team tokens, stagger the locks across 6, 9, 12, and 18 months to replicate a professional vesting schedule.
How it works
Tokens are held in a Program Derived Address on Solana mainnet. No private keys exist. Nobody including StakePoint can access them before the unlock date. Every lock is publicly verifiable on Solscan with its own shareable URL.
