# Unlocking Liquidity or Tokens Guide

If you’ve reached this point, you’ve already successfully created a lock—whether a token lock or a liquidity lock—and are familiar with our platform. This guide explains how to **unlock** and how to perform a **permanent locking**.

### I. Key Concepts

1. **What is Unlocking?**\
   Unlocking retrieves tokens from smart contracts, returning them to market circulation. **This is only possible after the lock expiry date.**

2. **What is Permanent Locking?**\
   Permanently locking tokens in a smart contract makes them **irrecoverable by anyone**. This action is irreversible and persists "until the blockchain ceases to exist."

**II. Step-by-Step Guide**

Access PandaTool’s **Lock** Console:\
<https://www.pandatool.org/#/lockList?lang=en-US>→ Connect your wallet to view all locks.

* **Left column:** liquidity locks
* **Right column:** token locks

1. **Click “Unlock”**\
   If the unlock date has passed, click **Unlock**, confirm in your wallet, and the tokens will be returned to your address.

2. **Click “Renounce”**\
   “Renounce” means you voluntarily give up the right to ever retrieve the tokens—i.e., you convert your lock into a **permanent lock**.

> **Warning:** This is irreversible. Once confirmed, you cannot recover the tokens.

## **III. FAQs**

1. **Can I unlock assets not created on PandaTool?**
   * Only locks created via **Pinksale** are compatible. Other platforms are unsupported.
2. **Are there fees for unlocking/renouncing?**
   * **No fees**. Service charges only apply during lock creation.
