The coin can lose its value.
Locking doesn’t protect the price. Memecoins can go to zero, and you get back coins, not SOL.
Every trade on a Latch coin pays a fee in SOL. The people who lock the coin split it, and the longer you lock, the bigger your share.
Pick a coin you actually believe in, lock it for as long as you like, and collect SOL every time anyone trades it. Nothing is printed to pay you: every lamport comes from real trading fees.
Browse coins with a Latch vault, or buy one right on its page. You can see what its lockers earned last week before you commit.
↗Choose how long. Longer locks earn a bigger share, up to 4× for a full year. Your coins come back when the time is up.
↗Every trade adds SOL to the pot. Your part builds up by the second and you can collect it whenever you like.
↗Nothing is minted to pay you. Every bit of SOL a locker earns was paid by someone trading the coin.
2% of every trade made on Latch goes straight to the coin’s vault. A coin launched on Latch also names its vault as its pump.fun creator, so its creator fees flow in too, before and after it graduates.
The vault pays 90% to the people who lock, split by how much they locked and for how long, and released smoothly over an hour. 10% keeps Latch running. If nobody has locked the coin yet, the lockers’ part goes to Latch.
Slide the lock length and watch your share change. It starts at the longest lock, a full year.
Example only, not a promise. It assumes the coin trades that much through Latch and that other people lock 20% of the supply at an average 2× boost. Pump.fun creator fees are left out. Real earnings go up and down with trading, and are zero if nobody trades.

Locking doesn’t protect the price. Memecoins can go to zero, and you get back coins, not SOL.
Lockers are paid from trading fees. A quiet coin pays little or nothing.
Unlocking before your end date burns part of your locked coins (25% at most, 5% at least) and gives up the SOL you haven’t collected yet. SOL you already collected is always yours.
Creator fees are paid by pump.fun and PumpSwap under their rules, and those can change. Latch’s 2% and your locked coins don’t depend on them.
Latch’s program hasn’t been audited by an outside firm. Only lock what you can afford to lose.
You lock a coin you like, and every time someone trades that coin you get a slice of the fee, paid in SOL.
Two places. First, 2% of the SOL in every buy or sell made through Latch. Second, the coin’s pump.fun creator fees, which go to the coin’s vault because the vault is named as the coin’s creator at launch. 90% goes to lockers and 10% to Latch. No new coins are printed to pay you.
Your share grows with how many coins you lock and how long you lock them. Four hours counts 1× and a full year counts 4×, on a square-root curve in between. Big locks get a small extra: +10% at 0.1% of supply, +25% at 0.5%, +50% at 1%. Fees are split between everyone in proportion to those scores.
Whenever you like, as often as you like. New fees are released to lockers smoothly over about an hour after they arrive, so nobody can jump in around a big trade and take a share they didn’t wait for.
Yes, but it costs you. Unlocking early burns part of your coins: up to 25% if you leave straight away, shrinking toward the end date but never below 5%. You also give up the SOL you haven’t collected, and it goes back to the other lockers. The app always shows the exact cost before you confirm.
Unlock any time: your coins and any SOL you haven’t collected go back to your wallet. Latch’s keeper also unlocks ended locks automatically, and it can only ever send them to you.
No. The program has no instruction that moves locked coins or earned SOL anywhere except to the lock’s owner. Each vault keeps the rules it was created with, forever. The admin can only change the rules for vaults created later.
A Solana wallet like Phantom, Solflare or Backpack, a little SOL for network fees, and the coin you want to lock. You can buy it on the coin’s page.
