How Long Is Liquidity Locked on PinkSale? Creator Decides
PinkSale's guides set no single lock period: the creator types the Liquidity Lockup in days at launch. What the docs require, when it ends, what to check.
By Staff, Presale Press
PinkSale’s guides fix no single period for how long liquidity is locked. The project creator types a Liquidity Lockup in days when building the launchpad, and the guide this desk read on 17 October 2026 requires only a positive number. Each pool therefore carries its own lock, and the creator’s entry for that pool is the number to find.
That is the short version. The longer one is mostly about what the number does and does not cover, which is where buyers tend to read more into a lock than it contains.
How long is liquidity locked on PinkSale, by the guide’s rules
PinkSale’s create-a-launchpad guide sets out the liquidity fields a creator fills in. Three matter here.
The first is the listing option. Under Auto Listing, the guide says, liquidity is added automatically by PinkSale after the creator finalizes the presale; under Manual Listing the creator adds liquidity to the DEX themselves.
The second is Liquidity (%), the share of raised funds sent to the DEX pool under Auto Listing. The guide puts the minimum at 51% and the maximum at 100%. The fair launch guide uses the same range, with a twist: where a creator enables buyback, the buyback percentage plus the liquidity percentage must reach 51% or more.
The third is the Liquidity Lockup (days) field, described as the number of days the DEX liquidity added via PinkSale, if using Auto Listing, will be locked. The only stated rule is that it must be a positive number, with 30 given as an example. The fair launch guide’s example is 365 days. Neither figure is presented as a default or a floor, and this desk has not checked whether the live app enforces a minimum the guides do not mention.
When the lock starts, and what it covers
PinkSale’s finalize guide describes finalization as the step that creates the pool on the DEX under Auto Listing and locks the liquidity for the specified duration. Until the creator finalizes, there is no pool and no lock to inspect.
Note the scope. The lockup field, in the guide’s own words, applies to liquidity added via PinkSale under Auto Listing. The guides read do not say what happens to liquidity a creator adds by hand under Manual Listing; they do not say it is locked and they do not say it is not. A buyer looking at a Manual Listing pool should not assume the launchpad’s lock field speaks for it. We covered how that pool is priced in our piece on the listing rate.
What happens when the liquidity lock expires
PinkSale’s unlock guide is plain about it. Once the lock duration has expired, the designated owner can withdraw. The Unlock button becomes active only after expiry, only the owner wallet can use it, the owner can do so at any time after that date, and each unlock is a transaction paying network gas. LP-token locks, the guide says, unlock exactly as token locks do, from the Liquidity section of PinkLock.
There is one irreversible variant. The guide describes a Renounce Lock Ownership option that transfers the lock to a dead address, after which nobody, the original owner included, can ever unlock it.
What a lock proves, and what it does not
PinkSale’s lock guide says locking LP tokens proves the liquidity cannot be removed for the specified duration. The same guide links a CertiK audit page for PinkLock; that is PinkSale’s statement, not this desk’s assessment.
A lock is a statement about a period and a pool. It does not stop a team selling its own tokens, it says nothing about the days after expiry, and a short lockup is still a lock. We set out the same limits for other lockers in our review of UNCX Network and Team Finance.
FAQ
How long is liquidity locked on PinkSale? As long as the project creator chose. PinkSale’s launchpad guide asks the creator to enter a Liquidity Lockup in days and requires only that it be a positive number. The 30 and 365 days in its guides are examples. Each pool sets its own figure, so the answer is the creator’s entry for that pool, not a platform rule.
How do I check if liquidity is locked on PinkSale? Start with the figure the creator entered as the Liquidity Lockup; the guides read do not say where the live app displays it. PinkLock lists locked LP tokens under its Liquidity section, and PinkSale’s docs say locking LP tokens proves the liquidity cannot be removed for the specified duration. Confirm the listing option too: the lockup field in the launchpad guide covers Auto Listing liquidity only.
What happens when the liquidity lock expires? PinkSale’s unlock guide says the designated owner wallet can withdraw once the lock has expired, at any time after that date, by clicking Unlock and paying network gas. The guide sets no deadline to unlock, and no bar. From expiry onwards the LP tokens are the owner’s to remove, and with them the pool.
Can a PinkSale project remove liquidity? Not from a PinkLock lock before it expires, according to PinkSale’s lock guide, which says tokens can only be withdrawn by the owner after expiry. After expiry the owner can. The exception runs the other way: renouncing lock ownership sends the lock to a dead address, and the docs say nobody can ever unlock it.
Where this fits
This is an evergreen explainer drawn from PinkSale’s own guides; the field rules above are as published when we read them, and the platform can rewrite its docs. We cover this market; we do not participate in it. Crypto assets are high risk, nothing here is financial advice, and a lockup is a number the creator typed, not a promise about what follows the day it ends.
