Longer LP and team token locks have become one of the strongest trust signals on Solana in 2026. Projects willing to lock liquidity for 12–36 months are standing out in a noisy market.
Here are the Top 10 strongest and longest active locks on Solana right now (data from StakePoint explorer as of May 21, 2026).
Why Long Locks Matter in May 2026
Short locks (under 6 months) are increasingly seen as weak signals. The market now rewards projects with 12+ month commitments — especially on LP tokens.
Longer locks = lower sell pressure, higher holder confidence, and better long-term survival rates.
Top 10 Strongest / Longest LP & Token Locks on Solana
1. LAYLO the Bear — ~3 Years Lock
One of the longest current locks on the platform. 150M tokens locked until April 2029. Extremely strong conviction signal.
2. catwifhat ($CWIF) — Multiple Long Locks
Multiple large locks including one until November 2026 and another until May 2027. Consistent long-term commitment from the team.
3. I Love You (lLY) — 12-Month Locks
Two separate 300M token locks both expiring May 2027. Clear long-term holder alignment.
4. BLOCK — ~10–12 Month Locks
Multiple locks with substantial amounts (165M–277M tokens) extending into 2027.
5. MindsetGrowthOptimizationToken (MGOT) — 12-Month Lock
170M tokens locked until May 2027.
6. Airena (AIRENA) — 5-Month Remaining (Strong Original Duration)
Large lock with solid remaining time and good transparency.
7–10. Other Notable Strong Locks
- Several high-volume meme and utility projects with 9–18 month remaining locks on LP tokens from Raydium and Meteora pools.
- Multiple PumpFun graduated tokens with post-graduation team/dev locks extending well into 2027.

What Makes a Lock "Strong" in 2026?
| Criteria | Weak Signal | Strong Signal |
|---|---|---|
| Duration | < 6 months | 12+ months (ideally 18–36) |
| Amount Locked | < 30% of supply/LP | 50%+ of LP + team tokens |
| Transparency | No public link | Shared StakePoint URL everywhere |
| Type | Only LP | LP + Team/Dev vesting locks |
| Unlock Schedule | All at once | Staggered / linear |
Projects hitting multiple "Strong" criteria are seeing better retention and community trust.
For Projects: How to Get on This List
- Lock your LP tokens immediately after adding liquidity (Raydium, Meteora, etc.).
- Lock team and dev allocations for 12–24+ months.
- Share the direct StakePoint lock link in your Telegram, Twitter, and website.
- Combine with a staking pool for maximum retention power.
