Lock tokens on Stellar FAQ
What does it mean to lock tokens on Stellar?
What does it mean to lock tokens on Stellar?
Locking tokens moves them out of your own account into an immutable escrow contract on Stellar until a single unlock date. Nothing is claimable before that date, the lock cannot be canceled, and nobody — including you — can move the tokens early. The contract has no upgrade path, so the rules the lock was created with are the rules that apply forever.
Which tokens can I lock?
Which tokens can I lock?
Any SEP-41 token and any Stellar Classic asset. A Classic asset is locked through its Stellar Asset Contract, which Token Tool deploys for you if it does not exist yet. Tokens that charge a fee on transfer cannot be locked: the amount that reaches escrow would fall short of the amount sent, and the contract rejects that rather than recording a lock it cannot honour.
Who can claim the locked tokens?
Who can claim the locked tokens?
Only the recipient you name at creation. After the unlock date the recipient claims the tokens to its own account or to another address it names, and can transfer the lock to a new recipient, who then takes over every claim. Anyone may trigger the release, but the funds only ever move to the recipient, so a third party can pay the network fee for a claim without ever being able to divert the tokens.
Can a token lock be canceled or reversed?
Can a token lock be canceled or reversed?
No. A token lock is created as non-cancelable, so neither you nor the recipient can unwind it. If you need the option to reclaim the unvested part later, create a vesting schedule with the cancelable option instead of a lock.
How do I lock tokens for many recipients at once?
How do I lock tokens for many recipients at once?
Paste a recipient list — one address and amount per line. Every recipient in the list gets the same unlock date, and each lock stands on its own afterwards. A single transaction creates at most 50 locks, so a longer list is split into batches that you sign one after another. You sign one transaction per batch, and an interrupted run picks up where it left off.
How much does it cost to lock tokens?
How much does it cost to lock tokens?
99 USD per transaction, covering its first lock, plus 5 USD for each further lock in it, charged in XLM inside the same transaction that moves the tokens into escrow. A batch of 50 locks therefore costs 344 USD in one transaction. On top of that you pay the ordinary Stellar network fee. Claiming, transferring a lock and triggering a release to the recipient carry no service fee at all. See the Token Tool pricing page.
How far in the future can the unlock date be?
How far in the future can the unlock date be?
A lock can run for up to 100 years, and its start can be at most 10 years in the future or 30 days in the past. In practice this covers every realistic team, treasury or liquidity lock.
Can I prove to others that the tokens are really locked?
Can I prove to others that the tokens are really locked?
Yes. Every lock has a public share page showing the token, amount, recipient, unlock date and live countdown, read directly from the contract on-chain. A batch has its own page covering all of its locks. Share the link with your community, exchange or auditor — no account or wallet needed to view it.
What should I watch out for with Classic assets that have clawback enabled?
What should I watch out for with Classic assets that have clawback enabled?
If the asset you lock has the clawback flag set, its issuer can claw the asset back out of any balance, including escrow. The lock still holds against everyone else, but the issuer remains able to recover the asset — Token Tool warns you before you sign when the asset you selected is clawback-enabled.
Which wallets can I use to lock tokens?
Which wallets can I use to lock tokens?
Freighter, LOBSTR and any wallet that supports WalletConnect, including LOBSTR vault multisig accounts.
