According to CoinMeta, as reported by Cryptonews, locking liquidity does not necessarily mean that tokens are secure. Although many guidelines suggest that locking liquidity can prevent teams from running away with funds, thereby making tokens safer, on modern launch platforms, liquidity locking has become a source of income for scams. Liquidity locks can indeed prevent the most destructive attacks—such as teams absconding with funds—but on many new token launch platforms, locking liquidity also means that creators can earn profits from each transaction. The existence of liquidity locks does not completely eliminate risks, and investors still need to be aware of other potential risk factors, such as supply concentration, contract permissions, and lock-up periods.
