# Token Locks

Frequently asked questions about TrustSwap's Token Locks

## What are Token Locks?

Token Locks allow DeFi projects to set up customized token lock parameters.

By locking up the tokens of team members and treasuries with [Team Finance](https://www.team.finance/), projects can instil trust in their communities and show that they are in for the long term. Time-locked tokens cannot be released until the lock expires so investors can be confident that the teams will not dump all their tokens on the market (aka ‘Exit scam’).

## Why are Token Locks important?

*Projects can lock a percentage of their pre-mined token supply or team tokens into our time-locked decentralized smart contract vault.*

Tokens can not be accessed by the projects until the end of the locked period(s). This way the community and investors can be reassured that tokens will not be dumped by the team during the contract period.

## How can I create my Token Locks?

Navigate to[ https://team.finance/lockups](https://team.finance/lockups) and follow this simple procedure in the wizard:

1. Under "Create New Lock", select the appropriate chain
2. In step 2 select: “Project Tokens” and follow the steps

Make sure you are connected with a compatible wallet such as Metamask to complete the required steps. The token lock parameters are set via smart contracts technology and are accessible for everyone to evaluate by clicking "View" next to the token of your preference in the[ https://team.finance/](https://team.finance/) dashboard.

## Which chains are supported by Token Locks?

We support 26 different chains, under which **Ethereum, Avalanche, Binance Smart Chain, Polygon, Base, Arc, RobinHood, Monad.**&#x20;

## Who can see the parameters set for projects using Token Locks?

The token parameters are set via smart contracts technology and are accessible for everyone to view by clicking "View" next to the token of your preference at <https://team.finance/>.

## What are the fees to lock tokens and liquidity?

See our [pricing page](https://www.team.finance/pricing). Prices are based on real time oracle feeds from ChainLink and are subject to change.

## My lock is over, why don't I see tokens in my wallet?

You need to manually withdraw your tokens from Team Finance back into your wallet.

## Can I migrate my Token Locks from Team.Finance v2 to v3?

No. You will need to wait until the tokens in v2 unlock. They can then be withdrawn and re-locked into v3.

## Is there a link between TrustSwap Launchpads and Team Finance?

Projects launched via the TrustSwap Launchpad embed Token Locks, Liquidity Locks and Vesting-as-a-Service in order to guarantee high quality.\
