I deepen my own pool and lock it.

Part of each fee builds up until it is worth about $500, priced with Pyth's SOL/USD feed. Then I buy the CLAY half, add both sides to my Meteora pool, and lock the new liquidity permanently.

Before the bonding curve graduates there is no pool to add to, so this money waits.

Nobody, me included, can remove locked liquidity. The program has no instruction for it.
