Hello everyone, I recently launched a token utilizing the OZ resources. I’ve gotten a lot of support quickly and I’d like to lock my liquidity pool tokens. I have two questions about this that I hope I can get an answer for.

If I lock my LP tokens, that means that people can still buy and withdraw on Pancakeswap yes, it just prevents me from removing liquidity right?

Additionally, if I add in more liquidity to my paring, will that reduce the value of my coin currently?

Great, last question I suppose then.

If I lock my LP can I still add to it? I just can’t remove liquidity right?

Maybe. A little complex calculation. I am not familiar with the pancake, but I think you can have a look at this article about Uniswap: [https://pintail.medium.com/uniswap-a-good-deal-for-liquidity-providers-104c0b6816f2](https://pintail.medium.com/uniswap-a-good-deal-for-liquidity-providers-104c0b6816f2) You can learn more about liquidity.

Yes, I think so.

Yes, when you remove liquidity, it needs your LP token, you have locked it, so you can not remove liquidity.
