This proposal defines an interface for a contract that holds pool liquidity under locks: a locker. A lock is either a quantity of fungible pool tokens, an ERC-20 token whose balance is a share of a pool, or one position held as an ERC-721 token of a position manager. Each lock names its pool, the position, the liquidity locked, the time it unlocks or that it never does, the account that receives the liquidity at release, and the account paid the position's fees meanwhile. A locker lists its locks by pool and sums them per pool into permanent and timed liquidity with the earliest unlock time, so scanners, launchpads and lenders read any conforming locker with one integration. Which lockers to count stays the reader's choice; the interface makes that choice checkable against what the locker holds.

Pool Liquidity Locks
One interface for any contract that locks pool liquidity (v2 pool tokens, v3 and v4 positions).
StatusTestnet only
Guided in the app: Launch a token, Create a pool and lock its liquidity.

Nothing at Priors runs this draft. Its reference contracts go on the testnet only.
Try it
On Robinhood Chain testnet (46630), with the reference contracts at their pinned commits and test tokens of no value. Each action shows the call it prepares before your wallet signs it, and each send is simulated first.
Set up
Four steps, once: your wallet on Robinhood Chain testnet, a little test ETH for its fees, test dollars of no value, and a testnet identity. The forms below fill from them.
- 1
Wallet
Not connected. Any browser wallet works: the lab switches it to Robinhood Chain testnet (46630) and sends nothing on another chain.
- 2
Test ETH
For the testnet's network fees. The lab's drip sends a little to a connected wallet once a day.
- 3
Test dollars
The Lab Test Dollar (no value) that lines lend and launches pair with.
- 4
Testnet identity
An ERC-8004 identity on the testnet registry, for the forms that take an agent id.
The testnet contracts
| Contract | Address on testnet (46630) |
|---|---|
| The lab's liquidity locker (LiquidityLocker) | 0xf161B0d86746fAf7C88C4B3Cc560f7025e0423e9 |
| The liquidity lock reference's mock position manager (MockPositionManager, over the lab's pool factory) | 0x94781fB93f69ed3cA208f294D1d0A25476367E6e |
| The lab's pool factory (LabPoolFactory: pools computed from their tokens and fee, pool tokens of your own) | 0x2B60aB8ABfD1661fcF86c803cff19Edbd694D708 |
Launch a token
One transaction through the lab's launchpad (LabLaunchpad): it creates a plain test token, seeds its pool against the Lab Test Dollar, locks that liquidity under ERC-8463 until the time you choose, declares the launch under ERC-8462 and registers its creator fee stream under ERC-8459, with you as its recipient. Each is then read back below, as on the ERC-8462 page.
Every token launched here is a visitor's test token, not verified: anyone can launch one on the lab, and the lab vouches for none.
Actions
Reads
Deploy your own
Deploy the reference contract from its pinned commit with your own wallet, on the testnet: you become its lender, launchpad or backer. Its address shows once the receipt is in, and Check a contract below reads it.
With an agent
Your agent gets the same lab through the MCP server at https://lab.priors.trade/mcp or the HTTP API described by /openapi.json. It reads, and gets back unsigned testnet transactions to sign with its own testnet key. The lab holds no key of its own for you and never asks for one.
MCP tools for ERC-8463
lab_erc(8463)- What the draft does on the lab, its contracts and an agent's next calls.
lab_setup(address)- Test ETH, test dollars and the testnet identities of an address, with the calls to register one and mint test dollars.
lab_read(8463, "lock", { lock_id, contract })- One lock.
lab_read(8463, "locked_liquidity", { pool, pool_id, contract })- A pool's locked liquidity, and for a pool token how much of its supply that is.
lab_read(8463, "pool_of", { token0, token1, fee })- The pool of two tokens and a fee, as the lab's pool factory computes it (no one can set or move it).
lab_read(8463, "position", { token_id })- A mock position: its owner, tokens, fee, liquidity and pool; and the id the next mint gets.
lab_read(8463, "locks_of_pool", { pool, pool_id, start, limit, contract })- A pool's locks.
lab_prepare(8463, "create_pool_token", { token_b, token_a, supply })- Create a pool token of your own (LabPoolToken: its whole supply minted once to you, no fee, no setting). Who signs: anyone (its first holder)
lab_prepare(8463, "approve_pool_tokens", { pool_token, amount, contract })- Let the locker take pool tokens. Who signs: the holder
lab_prepare(8463, "lock_pool_tokens", { pool_token, amount, unlock_at, beneficiary, contract })- Lock pool tokens. Who signs: the holder
lab_prepare(8463, "mint_position", { to, token0, token1, fee, liquidity })- Mint a mock position (the reference's MockPositionManager; its pool follows from its tokens and fee). Who signs: anyone
lab_prepare(8463, "approve_position", { token_id, contract })- Let the locker take a position. Who signs: the position's owner
lab_prepare(8463, "lock_position", { token_id, unlock_at, beneficiary, fee_recipient, contract })- Lock a position. Who signs: the position's owner
lab_prepare(8463, "extend_lock", { lock_id, unlock_at, contract })- Extend a lock. Who signs: the lock's beneficiary
lab_prepare(8463, "release_lock", { lock_id, contract })- Release a lock that has lapsed. Who signs: anyone, at or after its unlock time
lab_prepare(8463, "collect_fees", { lock_id, contract })- Collect a locked position's fees. Who signs: anyone (they go to the fee recipient)
lab_prepare(8463, "accrue_fees", { token_id, owed0, owed1 })- Credit fees to a mock position. Who signs: anyone (a mock)
lab_deploy_prepare(8463, "locker", { position_manager })- Your own LiquidityLocker over a position manager.
lab_check_contract(8463, chain, address)- The conformance read of any contract, on testnet or mainnet: supportsInterface and the views.
lab_feedback_draft(8463, note, txHash?)- The report text and the thread and issue links. It posts nothing.

A prompt to copy
Use the Priors lab on Robinhood Chain testnet (chain id 46630), where every token is a test token of no value. Its MCP server is https://lab.priors.trade/mcp and this draft's page is https://lab.priors.trade/erc/8463.md. Try ERC-8463, Pool Liquidity Locks (a draft under review). Start with lab_setup for my testnet address to see my test ETH, test dollars and identities, then create a pool token of your own (labpooltoken: its whole supply minted once to you, no fee, no setting), then let the locker take pool tokens, then lock pool tokens, then mint a mock position (the reference's mockpositionmanager; its pool follows from its tokens and fee), then let the locker take a position, then lock a position with lab_prepare(8463, <action>, params). Each prepare returns an unsigned transaction { chainId: 46630, to, data, value }: sign and send it yourself with a testnet key, and refuse any other chain. Never ask me for a key. After each transaction, read the result back with lab_read and tell me what changed. If the draft or its reference code looks wrong, draft a report with lab_feedback_draft.
Check a contract
Paste any contract on either chain: the lab reads supportsInterface for ILiquidityLocks 0x15d36c4a (computed from the pinned interface) and ERC-165's own, then calls each view. It only reads, so another implementer can test conformance with nothing signed.
Feedback
What you found goes where the draft is worked on: the discussion of the text in its thread on Ethereum Magicians, a bug in the reference code in its repository's issues. You post it under your own account. The lab posts nothing for anyone.
