How to revoke mint & freeze authority

Make supply permanently fixed, or stop balances from ever being frozen — both from Token Manager, in one signature each.

Step by step

  1. Step 1Connect walletMust hold the authority you're revoking.
  2. Step 2Open Token ManagerPaste the mint address.
  3. Step 3Pick Revoke mint authority or Revoke freeze authorityAvailable only for authorities your wallet currently holds.
  4. Step 4Sign the transactionSets that authority field to none on the mint.
  5. Step 5Locked inThe change is visible immediately — including to Token Safety Check.

What each authority controls

Mint authorityCan mint new supply. Revoke it to make total supply permanently fixed — no one, including you, can ever mint more.
Freeze authorityCan freeze any holder's token account. Revoke it so no balance on this mint can ever be frozen.

Do this before revoking

  • Mint any supply you'll ever need — revoking mint authority first makes that impossible later.
  • Confirm decimals and total supply are correct; they can't be changed after the fact either.
  • If you were relying on freeze to handle a bad actor or a bug, revoke freeze last, once you're confident you won't need it.
This cannot be undone. There is no re-grant, no override, no admin key that brings a revoked authority back — that permanence is the entire point of revoking it.

Revoking during creation instead

Both SPL and Token-2022 creators offer a revoke-on-creation checkbox, folding this into the same transaction that mints the token. Use Token Manager when you want to revoke later, after minting or other setup is done.
