How to revoke mint & freeze authority

Revoking the mint authority fixes a token's supply, and revoking the freeze authority means no balance can be frozen. Each takes one signature.

What each authority controls

Mint authorityCan mint new supply. Revoke it to fix supply.
Freeze authorityCan freeze any holder's account. Revoke it so nothing can be frozen.

Before you revoke

  • Mint all the supply you'll ever need.
  • Check the decimals and total supply.
  • Revoke the freeze authority last.
Revoking an authority can't be undone.

Revoking during creation instead

The SPL and Token-2022 creators can revoke both authorities when the token is created. To revoke later, use Token Manager, then confirm the result in Token Inspector.
