A dev can show they’re not about to sell by putting their own coins where they genuinely can’t be sold: in a time lock that nobody can open before its time, or burned for good. It’s done on the chain, and the coin’s page shows it to everyone.

​
The options

The time is counted from when you lock, not from the launch. When a lock ends, only the dev’s wallet can take the coins back.
On Robinhood Chain, time locks are coming soon. The lock contract isn’t live yet, so for now only a burn can be confirmed on a Robinhood Chain coin. Time locks work on Solana, and burning works on both chains.

​
How to lock

1

Pick it on Create

Under Lock your dev buy, choose 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, 1 year or Burn. It’s Off unless you pick one, and isn’t offered when you’re reserving a launch.
2

Confirm it on the coin page

Once your coin is live, its page has your pick ready. One tap, then confirm in the wallet that launched the coin.
You can also lock or burn at any time later: on your coin’s page, tap Lock or burn your coins under its About.
  • Everything in your launch wallet goes in: every coin of it that wallet holds, not just part.
  • Robinhood Chain: your wallet may ask you to approve the coin first, then lock it.
  • Solana: locks are made with Streamflow, an outside token-lock service, set so they can’t be cancelled or handed to anyone else.
  • Robinhood Chain locks use 2hour.fun’s own lock contract. It has no owner, no admin and no pause: the only way out is the dev taking the coins back after the unlock time.
A burn can’t be undone, and a lock can’t be ended before its time. Make sure you’ve picked the one you want before you confirm.

​
What everyone sees

  • Under the coin’s About: every lock and burn, with how many coins, their share of the supply, when a lock ends, and a Check it link to see it on the chain.
  • At the top of the coin’s page: a gold Locked badge with the time left, or Dev burned, when the lock or burn took at least half of what the dev held at the time. Smaller ones are still listed under About.
2hour.fun only shows a lock or burn after reading it on the chain itself, so it can’t be faked. Solana locks are checked again every few minutes, and come off the page if the chain no longer shows them.

​
What it covers

A lock covers the coins in the dev’s launch wallet only. Other wallets around the dev are what the Insiders and Bundled at launch badges show. See Safety badges. Locking says nothing about the coin’s price. Other holders can still sell, and the dev can sell their coins once a lock ends.

​
Dev incentives

For the Dev incentives sell rule, locked coins still count as held, and burned coins count as kept, never as sold.
