Step 8 · Lock

Honest first: Pons has no documented LP-lock or timelock contract. What Bundle offers is approval staging — and it is labeled that way in the app rather than dressed up as a supply lock.

What it does

POST /api/lock stages sell approvals for every bundle wallet while the vault is open. Afterwards, a dump or sell executes in a single transaction per wallet — no separate approve step standing between you and an exit.

Why it matters

On a bonding curve, the difference between exiting in one block and two is real money when snipers unwind. Pre-staged approvals mean the emergency dump is one signature, not two.

What it does not do

• It does not lock liquidity or prevent you from selling — quite the opposite, it pre-arms your own exits.
• It does not lock supply on behalf of holders.
• It is not a timelock. If Pons ships a real lock primitive, it will be wired in properly.

API

POST /api/lock — requires unlocked vault; stages approve transactions for the curve's spender across all bundle wallets.
