We delist for two reasons. Only two.
Delisting removes a coin from LockPad's website and channels: Explore, search, trending, the home page and our socials. It never touches the coin on-chain. LockPad can't pause, freeze or blacklist a coin, unlock its liquidity, or take anyone's tokens. Nobody can.
The only two grounds
- Phishing links: a description, website or social link that leads to a wallet drainer, a fake airdrop or claim page, or another site built to trick people into signing transactions or handing over keys.
- Fake volume or fake holders: the creator, or people working with them, wash trading or using bot or sybil wallets they control or fund to fake volume or holder counts.
Never a reason to delist
Parody or impersonation memes, copycat names or tickers, trademark or copyright complaints, offensive or crude memes, a falling price or no volume, the creator selling coins they bought on the market, or complaints from people who lost money. Those coins stay listed.
How it works
- Every link is scanned automatically at launch and regularly afterwards. Trades are analysed for wash trading and wallet clusters funded by the creator.
- A flag only adds a public "Under review" warning on the coin. A person reviews the evidence, and only a clear match to one of the two grounds leads to delisting.
- A delisted coin's page shows the ground, a short evidence summary and the on-chain facts, so holders can still verify the lock.
- If a linked site was hijacked and the creator wasn't involved, we hide the bad link and keep the coin listed.
Fees after delisting
LockPad keeps its 10% platform fee from delisted coins, exactly as for any other coin, and the $LOCKY (5%) and $LOCKPAD (10%) buyback-and-burn shares keep flowing as fixed at launch. LockPad's automation stops forwarding the creator's share for that coin (on a regular coin 75% of LockPad's fee share: about 0.9% of each trade on Solana, 1.125% on EVM chains; on a reward coin 25%). The fee configuration is frozen on-chain, so LockPad can't redirect it. The launch fee isn't refunded.
Appeals
Email Mike@officiallockpad.com with the subject "Delisting Appeal", the coin's contract address and your evidence. If we got it wrong, we relist it.
