# Lock

During the order creation process, it is possible to **"lock"** the order.\
A **"locked"** order cannot be canceled and will remain on the blockchain until it is fully executed.\
While this feature may not be of immediate interest to the average user, it presents a valuable tool for token creators.

By utilizing **Lock Orders**, you can establish a **price floor** for your token.\
By placing an order at a specific price and locking it, you can build trust within your community and provide price support during market downturns.

This feature demonstrates your commitment to maintaining token value, fostering confidence among investors and stakeholders.\
\
You can combine the **Lock** functionality with [**Vesting**](/protocol/order/vesting.md) to create a robust and strategic approach to token management.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.moon.cx/protocol/order/lock.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
