Could you possibly explain to me the reasoning behind locking tokens? I'm really curious to understand the advantages and purposes of this practice. What are the key benefits for investors and the overall cryptocurrency ecosystem? Also, are there any specific conditions or circumstances that trigger the locking of tokens? I'm interested in the logic and the strategy behind this decision, as it seems to be a rather common occurrence in the crypto world. Could you enlighten me on this topic?
