# NFT Locks ### What are NFT locks? Locking NFTs allows creators to lock their personal or team-allocated tokens in a time-locked decentralized smart contract vault. The NFTs allocated to the project team or founder cannot withdraw or change these NFTs until the end of the locked period(s). This way, the community and investors are at less risk of scams.\ \ NFT projects may use Team Finance NFT Locks to show proof of commitment and interest in the project, build credibility, and reduce the risk of scams to benefit the community and investors. ### How much do NFT Locks cost?
