Revoke Mint Authority on Solana

How revoking mint authority locks supply forever, what holders can verify, and what to finish before you sign.

Revoking mint authority permanently removes the ability to create more units of a Solana token. After confirmation, no wallet can mint additional supply. Holders may still burn tokens they own, so total supply can decrease later.

The whole thing takes one signature, approved in your own wallet. Dexmint prepares the transaction and shows the fee, but the decision to sign is yours alone.

What mint authority is

A Solana token can have a mint authority: an address allowed to create additional supply. Revoking sets that authority to none, and the Token Program rejects every future mint instruction. The supply at confirmation becomes the maximum, although holders can still burn their own tokens and reduce it later.

A token in this state is commonly described as having its mint revoked.

The revocation flow

You connect the wallet that currently holds the mint authority, usually the one you created the token with. Any Wallet Standard wallet works. Then you pick the token from your wallet list or paste its mint address, and the tool reads the live on-chain state to show the supply, decimals, and whether the mint and freeze authorities are still active.

You pay a flat fee, shown in the fee ledger before you sign, plus a tiny Solana network fee, and coupon codes apply in the same panel. You press Revoke mint authority and approve in your wallet. After confirmation, the result shows the transaction signature and explorer link.

Think first, then finish the job

Because this cannot be undone, make sure all planned minting is complete first. If your roadmap includes rewards or future allocations, create that supply before revoking the authority.

Revoking freeze authority and making metadata immutable are separate decisions. Review each authority and complete any required changes before choosing another irreversible action.

Frequently asked questions

Does revoking affect tokens people already hold?

No. Existing balances, transfers, and trading all keep working exactly as before. The only change is that no new tokens can ever be created.

Do I have to be the token creator?

You must be its current mint authority, usually the wallet that created it. When you select a token, the tool reads its on-chain state and tells you upfront if the authority was already revoked or belongs to another wallet.

Is this the right tool to lock my token?

Yes, if you want to stop all future minting and fix the maximum supply. If you want to lock the name, symbol, and logo instead, use the Make Immutable tool. Revoke the freeze authority separately if no wallet should freeze holder accounts.
