Burned-LP Custody
Cognivo Burned-LP Custody reports how much of a pool's liquidity-provider (LP) tokens are held at burn addresses, based on Cognivo Grounded On-Chain Evidence. This page explains what that does — and does not — mean.
What "burned LP" means
LP tokens represent a share of a liquidity pool. Burned LP means those LP tokens were sent to a burn address — an address from which they cannot be moved. Cognivo reports burned-LP custody per pool, so you can see the share for each readable pool rather than a single blended number.
Burned LP is not the same as a timed lock
This is the most important distinction to understand:
- Burned LP has no unlock schedule. The burned portion simply cannot be moved.
- A timed lock is a separate mechanism that restricts withdrawing liquidity for a set period, after which it can be withdrawn.
Burned LP and a timed lock are different things. A high burned-LP share is not proof of a timed lock, and Cognivo does not describe one as the other.
What burned-LP custody does not tell you
- It is not a safety guarantee. No Cognivo result guarantees a token is safe.
- It only describes the burned portion. Any non-burned LP may still be movable, and that remaining portion is treated as unverified unless separately established.
- It is reported only for pools Cognivo could read. Pools shown as not assessed are not included.
Supported networks
Burned-LP custody is reported for Ethereum, Base, and BSC where pools are readable. When a chain or pool type cannot be assessed in a view, Cognivo says so rather than implying zero.
A note on burn transactions
Burn transaction evidence documentation is being finalized after live validation. This page covers burned-LP custody (how much LP is currently held at burn addresses); it does not make chain-specific burn-transaction claims.
