# 🔒  Liquidity Locks

The most common exploit in decentralized finance is the removal of liquidity by the creator.

On Aura Pad, creators never have custody of the underlying liquidity pool funds. When a token successfully graduates from the bonding curve, the protocol executes a trustless atomic transaction:

1. Routes the funds to the target DEX.
2. Creates the `TOKEN/NATIVE` pair.
3. Permanently sends the Liquidity Provider (LP) tokens to a dead address (`0x000...000dEaD`).

The liquidity is locked forever. The market decides the rest.
