VestreamIf you've aped into a new token on BNB Chain, you've almost certainly seen a PinkSale launch and a PinkLock badge. PinkSale is one of the highest-volume launchpads in crypto, and its PinkLock product is what locks a project's liquidity and vests its team tokens on-chain. This guide covers what PinkLock does and how to check any lock.
What is PinkSale?
PinkSale is a launchpad that lets projects run token presales and fair launches. Alongside the launchpad, it offers PinkLock, a locker that holds a project's liquidity-pool (LP) tokens and vests team/allocation tokens on-chain, so buyers can verify the lockups rather than trust a promise.
PinkLock is PinkSale's on-chain locker: it locks LP tokens (anti-rug) and vests team/allocation tokens on a schedule, verifiable by anyone.
PinkLock: liquidity locks vs token vesting
- Liquidity lock: Locks the LP tokens so the team can't withdraw liquidity, the core anti-rug guarantee buyers look for on a new launch.
- Token vesting: Releases team/allocation tokens on a TGE + cycle-based schedule, an initial release at launch, then further releases at set intervals.
For assessing future sell pressure, the token vesting side is what to read, it tells you how many tokens unlock and when.
Which chains does PinkSale support?
PinkSale / PinkLock runs across major EVM networks including BNB Chain, Ethereum, Polygon and Base. BNB Chain is where the bulk of PinkSale activity lives, given the high volume of BSC token launches.
How to verify a PinkSale lock or vesting schedule
To see a token's PinkSale vesting and upcoming unlocks, or to check a specific wallet's locks, use the PinkSale unlock tracker on Vestream, or paste any address into the free wallet scanner. You'll see locked value, the release schedule, and can set an alert before each unlock.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is PinkLock?
PinkLock is PinkSale's on-chain locker. It locks a project's liquidity-pool tokens (to prevent liquidity being pulled) and vests team/allocation tokens on a schedule, all verifiable on-chain.
Does a PinkSale lock mean a token is safe?
It reduces the specific risk of a liquidity rug pull, but it isn't a guarantee. Check how much liquidity is locked and for how long, plus the team's token vesting schedule, not just the presence of a lock.
How do I see PinkSale token unlocks?
Use a cross-protocol tracker like Vestream, which indexes PinkSale (PinkLock) vesting on-chain and shows upcoming unlock dates and amounts per token and wallet, with free alerts.
