LP Lock

An LP lock secures a token's liquidity-pool tokens in a time-lock or burn address so the team cannot withdraw the pooled funds.

Liquidity-pool (LP) tokens represent a claim on the pooled trading funds, so whoever holds them can remove that liquidity. Locking them in a reputable time-lock, or burning them to a dead address, prevents the team from pulling liquidity until the lock expires, or ever if burned. LP locks reduce rug-pull risk but do not address minting, taxes, or blacklists.
