It does not disable swaps, since trading exchanges the underlying assets without cashing in a liquidity position.<\/p>\n<p>In PancakeSwap\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/pancakeswap\/pancake-swap-core\/blob\/master\/contracts\/PancakePair.sol\">archived pair contract<\/a>, separate operations handle LP redemption, swaps and updating recorded reserves to match token balances.
