A liquidity pool is a contract holding two tokens that traders swap between. The ratio of the two sets the price, and the depth of the pool sets how far a single trade moves it. On Robinhood Chain most pools are Uniswap v3 positions held as NFTs.
Someone has to fund it. Say a launcher pairs their new token with ETH and deposits both sides: that deposit is the entire budget every buyer and seller trades against until someone adds more. A deep pool absorbs orders with small price impact; a shallow one moves several percent on a modest trade. Locksley indexes —pending pairs across the chain and reads each pool's depth directly from the contract.
The position that holds the pool can be withdrawn by whoever owns it, which is why lock and burn state are read alongside depth. A lock guarantees exactly one thing: the pool cannot be withdrawn before the release date. Not the price, not the team, not the token. A locked pool can still fall.
Pool depth, the paired asset and the liquidity lock state render in the Liquidity panel of every token page, because a price is only as meaningful as the pool quoting it. LP burned lists tokens whose pool positions were sent to the dead address, which is verifiable there.
Why this chain's liquidity sits in position NFTs, and what follows from that, is unpacked in where Robinhood Chain's liquidity lives. The swap side of the mechanism is the DEX.
Frequently asked questions
Is a liquidity pool the same as a staking pool?
No. A liquidity pool holds two tokens for traders to swap between, and its depositors earn a share of trading fees while carrying the price exposure of both sides. A staking pool holds one token and pays rewards from a budget the project funded. Different contracts, different purpose, different risk.

Robinhood Chain liquidity sits in Uniswap v3 positions, which are NFTs. Why that changes pool depth, why locks became NFT locks, and how to read one.

A lock holds a pool position until a release date; an LP burn gives it up for good. Both are verifiable on-chain, differently. How to choose and read each.
