How do I revoke mint authority on Solana?

Connect the wallet that currently holds mint authority, select your token (or paste its mint address), and press Revoke Mint Authority. You approve one transaction carrying both the 0.1 SOL fee and the authority change, and the mint authority field is set to null on-chain. It takes one confirmation, usually a few seconds, and you get a Solana Explorer link to the transaction.

What is mint authority on Solana?

Mint authority is the power to create (mint) new tokens after the initial creation. The wallet that created the token holds mint authority by default. If mint authority is active, the holder can increase the total supply at any time. Revoking mint authority permanently fixes the supply — no one can ever create more tokens.

What is freeze authority on Solana?

Freeze authority is the power to freeze any token account, preventing the holder from sending or selling their tokens. By default, the token creator holds freeze authority. Most legitimate projects revoke freeze authority to guarantee that no one can freeze holders' tokens.

How much does it cost to revoke mint authority?

Each authority revocation costs 0.1 SOL on SolTokenCreator.io, plus the ordinary Solana network fee, which is a fraction of a cent. Mint, freeze, and update authority are priced the same and charged separately, one per revocation — you only pay for the ones you actually run.

How many transactions will I have to sign?

One per authority. There is no path here that revokes two or three authorities in a single signature — each button builds its own transaction, and you approve each in your wallet as you go. Revoking mint and freeze means two approvals; adding update authority makes three.

What happens if I connect the wrong wallet?

The revocation cannot complete, and nothing is charged — the fee transfer and the authority change ride in the same transaction, so if one fails the other never lands. For update authority the tool checks ownership up front and tells you plainly that the wallet does not hold it. For mint and freeze authority the transaction is rejected by the network instead, and the message you see is generic — if you are unsure which wallet holds the authority, open your mint on Solana Explorer and read the authority field before retrying.

What if the authority is already revoked?

The tool reads the current authority from the chain before it builds anything. If it is already null it tells you so, no transaction is created, and you are not charged. The same applies to update authority: if the metadata is already immutable, the tool says so instead of taking your money for a no-op.

Does revoking freeze authority unfreeze accounts that are already frozen?

No — and this is the one thing to check before you press the button. Revoking freeze authority removes the ability to freeze accounts and the ability to unfreeze them, permanently and for everyone. Any token account that is frozen at the moment you revoke stays frozen forever, with no way back for anyone. Unfreeze every account you intend to unfreeze first, then revoke.

Do I have to revoke mint authority before adding liquidity?

No. Raydium does not require mint authority to be revoked to create a pool, and this is one of the most repeated pieces of misinformation in Solana token guides. What Raydium's pool interface does refuse is a token whose freeze authority is still active — that one is a genuine prerequisite. Traders will still see a mintable warning on DexScreener until you revoke mint authority, which is why most launches revoke both, but only one of the two actually blocks a pool.

Can I revoke authority on a Token-2022 token?

Yes. The tool reads which program owns your mint — the legacy SPL Token program or Token-2022 — and builds the instruction against the right one, so a Token-2022 mint is not silently sent to the legacy program and rejected. Making metadata immutable works for both standards as well, because Metaplex metadata lives in its own account either way.

Can I transfer mint authority to another wallet instead of revoking it?

Not with this tool. Every revocation here sets the authority to null permanently; there is no option to reassign it to a different wallet, a multisig, or a program. If you want to move an authority rather than destroy it, use a command-line tool or an SDK that exposes the full set-authority instruction. Revoking is the one-way version of the same instruction.

Is there a revoke checkbox in the token creation form?

No. Tokens minted on this site always come out with mint and freeze authority held by your wallet and their metadata mutable. The creation form has no such checkbox, at any price. Every revocation is a separate transaction you run afterwards, from this page, at 0.1 SOL per authority. Any guide that tells you to tick a box for this is describing a different tool.

What is update authority, and should I revoke it?

Update authority is the power to change a token's on-chain metadata — name, symbol, logo, and links — after creation. SolTokenCreator.io doesn't include a metadata-editing tool itself, so keeping update authority only matters if you plan to use a separate Metaplex-compatible tool to fix a typo or update branding later. Once you're confident the metadata is final, revoke update authority here to make it permanently immutable — a trust signal alongside mint and freeze authority.

How do I make my Solana token's metadata immutable?

Revoke update authority. Every token launches with update authority intact — there's no toggle to lock metadata at creation — so making it immutable is a separate, permanent action here on the Revoke Authority tool, 0.1 SOL, the same one-way process as revoking mint or freeze authority. Because it also forecloses ever fixing a typo in your name, symbol, or logo, this one is gated behind a confirmation checkbox the other two don't have. Once revoked, the metadata can never be changed again, by anyone.

Can I undo a revocation?

No. Authority revocation is permanent and irreversible on the Solana blockchain. Once mint authority is revoked, the supply is permanently fixed. Once freeze authority is revoked, no one can ever freeze or unfreeze token accounts. Once update authority is revoked, the metadata can never be changed again, by anyone. Make sure you are ready before revoking.

Should I revoke all three authorities?

For meme coins and community tokens, yes — revoke mint and freeze authority immediately for maximum trust, and revoke update authority once your metadata (name, symbol, logo) is finalized. For utility tokens where you may need to mint rewards, freeze compromised accounts, or still expect to tweak branding, consider keeping the relevant authority active longer. The decision depends on your project's needs.

Why doesn't my token show up in the picker?

The picker scans your wallet through a public Solana RPC endpoint, and that scan is the kind of request free endpoints throttle or reject outright. When it fails you get told so rather than a spinner that never resolves. Paste your token's mint address into the field beside the picker instead — the revocation itself does not depend on the scan at all.

How do I verify authority was revoked?

Every successful revocation gives you a Solana Explorer link to its own transaction, and all of them stay on screen together. Independently, open your token on Solana Explorer (explorer.solana.com) or Solscan (solscan.io) and read the mint authority and freeze authority fields — a revoked authority shows as empty or null. RugCheck.xyz displays the same status with a green check.

Revoke Mint Authority on Solana

Lock your supply permanently — and revoke freeze and update authority from the same tool. 0.1 SOL per authority, one signed transaction each, on SPL and Token-2022 tokens.

Connect the wallet that holds the authority, pick your token, and press the authority you want gone. Each revocation is its own transaction, so you only ever pay for what you actually run — and if an authority is already null, the tool tells you and charges nothing.

Revoke Mint, Freeze or Update Authority

Connecting is free and read-only.It shares your wallet address so this page can load your tokens. Nothing is signed or charged until you approve it in your own wallet, and we never see your seed phrase.

To set up a liquidity pool, you must first "Revoke Freeze Authority" for your token, which can be done here at a cost of 0.1 SOL.

Additionally, revoking the Mint Authority enhances security for buyers. You can perform this action here, also for a fee of 0.1 SOL.

You can also make your token's metadata permanently immutable by revoking update authority, also 0.1 SOL — see the warning below before you do.

Don't see your token below? Paste its mint address directly instead of using the picker.

Make Metadata Immutable — Revoke Update Authority

Permanently locks your token's name, symbol, logo and other metadata so they can never be changed again — by you, or by anyone. This is the same trust signal as revoking mint and freeze authority above, and it costs the same 0.1 SOL.

This cannot be undone. Once revoked, there is no way to restore update authority or edit this token's metadata again — not by you, not by us, not by anyone, ever. Only confirm once you are certain the name, symbol and logo are final.

I understand this is permanent and cannot be undone.

For the final step, create a liquidity pool so people can actually trade your token. Both CPMM and AMM V4 are supported — the AMM V4 option builds its required OpenBook market for you automatically, no separate import needed.

Create your liquidity pool

What Each Revocation Does

All three are permanent, priced the same, and signed separately. Nothing here is bundled into one transaction, and nothing can be undone afterwards.

Authority	Revoking it means	What you give up	Cost
Mint authority	Total supply is fixed forever; nobody can mint another token	Minting rewards, staking emissions, or any future issuance	0.1 SOL
Freeze authority	No account can ever be frozen; holders can always transfer and sell	Freezing and unfreezing — accounts frozen today stay frozen forever	0.1 SOL
Update authority	Metadata is immutable; name, symbol, logo and links are frozen as-is	Ever fixing a typo or swapping a logo, by you or anyone else	0.1 SOL

The fee rides in the same transaction as the authority change, so a revocation that fails on-chain cannot charge you for nothing. Because they are separate transactions, revoking all three is three wallet approvals, not one — and each result stays on screen with its own Explorer link, so a later failure never hides an earlier success.

Understanding Token Authorities

Mint Authority

Controls the ability to create new tokens and increase total supply.

Active: You can mint more tokens later

Revoked: Supply is permanently fixed forever

Freeze Authority

Controls the ability to freeze token accounts and prevent transfers.

Active: You can freeze any holder's tokens

Revoked: No one can ever freeze — or unfreeze — any account

Update Authority

Controls whether your token's metadata — name, symbol, logo, links — can still be changed.

Active: A separate metadata tool can still edit it

Revoked: Metadata is locked forever, for anyone

Check These Three Things First

You must sign from the wallet that holds the authority

An authority can only be revoked by whoever currently holds it — normally the wallet that created the token. Connecting a different wallet cannot revoke on its behalf. Nothing is charged when this happens, because the fee and the authority change are in the same transaction and fail together. If you are unsure, open your mint on Solana Explorer and read the authority field before you start.

Unfreeze before you revoke freeze authority

Revoking freeze authority removes the power to freeze accounts and the power to unfreeze them, permanently, for everyone. Any token account that is frozen at the moment you revoke stays frozen forever — there is no key left that can release it. If you have ever frozen an account, unfreeze it first.

An already-revoked authority costs you nothing

Before building anything, the tool reads the authority from the chain — and the metadata account's mutability flag for update authority. If it is already gone, you are told so and no transaction is created. You cannot be charged twice for the same revocation by pressing the button again.

Do You Have to Revoke Before Adding Liquidity?

Half of it is true, and the half that gets repeated most is the false half.

Freeze authority: yes, revoke it first. Raydium's own pool interface refuses a token whose freeze authority is still active — a token nobody can be certain they can sell is not one it will list. Our liquidity pool tool does not check your token's authorities before it starts building, so the safe order is revoke freeze authority here, then create the pool.

Mint authority: no, it is not required. A pool can be created with mint authority still live. What happens instead is reputational: DexScreener, RugCheck and every trader who checks will see a mintable supply and price that in. That is a good reason to revoke mint authority — but it is not a technical prerequisite, whatever the guides say.

Update authority: no, and there is no rush. Metadata mutability has no bearing on pool creation. Lock it once your name, symbol and logo are final, not before.

Launching in order? Revoke freeze authority, then create an OpenBook Market ID if you need one for an AMM V4 pool, then add liquidity, then revoke mint authority once the supply you intend to exist actually exists.

How to Revoke Mint Authority on Solana

Connect the Wallet That Holds the Authority

Revoking is signed by the wallet that currently holds the authority — usually the one that created the token. A different wallet cannot revoke on its behalf, and the transaction will not go through.

Pick Your Token, or Paste Its Mint Address

Open the picker to list the tokens in your wallet, or paste the mint address into the field beside it. The manual field is there because the wallet scan depends on a public Solana RPC that can throttle it.

Choose Which Authority to Revoke

Mint authority, freeze authority, and update authority each have their own button. Nothing is bundled — pick one, or run them one after another.

Approve One Transaction per Authority

Each revocation is a single transaction carrying the 0.1 SOL fee and the authority change together. One wallet approval per authority, so revoking all three means three approvals.

Verify the Authority Is Null On-Chain

Each success shows its own Solana Explorer link, and all three stay on screen at once. Open the mint on Explorer or Solscan and the revoked authority field reads null.

Authority Management Features

Revoke Mint Authority

Permanently remove the ability to create new tokens. Once revoked, the total supply is fixed forever — nobody can mint more, not even you. The strongest supply guarantee.

Revoke Freeze Authority

Permanently remove the ability to freeze token accounts. This guarantees holders can always transfer and sell their tokens, and it is the authority Raydium's pool interface checks for.

Revoke Update Authority

Permanently lock your token's metadata — name, symbol, logo, and links can never be changed again, by you or anyone else. The same permanent, one-way action as revoking mint or freeze authority.

Already Revoked Costs You Nothing

The tool reads the authority on-chain before it builds anything. If it is already null, you get told so and no transaction is created — nothing to sign, and no 0.1 SOL charged.

One Fee, One Transaction, No Surprises

Each revocation is 0.1 SOL and rides in the same transaction as the authority change. If the change fails on-chain, the fee fails with it — a failed attempt cannot bill you for nothing.

Three Results, Side by Side

Revoke mint, freeze, and update authority in any order and each keeps its own result and Explorer link. A later failure can never erase or overwrite an earlier success you already paid for.

SPL and Token-2022

The tool reads which token program owns your mint and builds the instruction against it, so Token-2022 mints are revoked correctly instead of failing against the legacy program.

What This Tool Does Not Do

It does not transfer an authority to another wallet. Every action here sets the authority to null. Reassigning one to a different wallet, a multisig or a program needs a command-line tool or an SDK.
It is not part of the token creation form. Tokens minted on this site always come out with mint and freeze authority held by your wallet and their metadata mutable. Every revocation is this separate step, run afterwards.
It does not edit metadata. Revoking update authority locks the metadata as it stands; it cannot fix a name, symbol or logo on the way past. Correct anything you want corrected with a Metaplex-compatible editor first.
It does not batch three revocations into one signature. Each authority is its own transaction and its own approval.
It cannot be undone. No revocation on this page is reversible, by us or by anyone.
