Revoke freeze authority on Solana

Give up the ability to freeze token accounts, a common trust signal that reassures holders the asset cannot be locked.

Select token

Freeze authority is a switch built into many Solana tokens: whoever holds it can freeze any holder’s token account, stopping them from sending or trading the token. This tool removes that power for good: pick your token, sign one transaction, and the freeze authority is gone, permanently, for everyone, including you.

It matters because buyers check for it. DEX screeners and safety checklists flag tokens whose freeze authority is still active, since a bad actor could use it to trap holders. The transaction itself stays in your hands, you review the fee and sign from your own wallet.

How to revoke freeze authority on Solana

Connect the freeze authority wallet
Connect the wallet that currently holds the token’s freeze authority. Use Mainnet for a live token, or Devnet first to run the whole flow for free.
Select your token
Pick the token from your wallet or paste its mint address. Dexmint reads it on-chain and shows its supply, decimals, and whether each authority is still active.
Confirm you hold the authority
Only the wallet holding the freeze authority can revoke it. If yours is not that wallet, or the authority is already gone, the tool tells you why before you spend anything.
Review the fee ledger
A flat fee is shown in the fee ledger before you sign, nothing hidden. Apply a coupon code and the total updates right away.
Sign and you are done
Approve in your wallet and watch the transaction confirm on-chain. You get the signature with an explorer link, and the freeze authority now reads Revoked.

What is freeze authority?

When a Solana token is created it can include a freeze authority, an address allowed to freeze or unfreeze any token account for that mint. A frozen account cannot send, receive, or trade the token. It has legitimate uses: stablecoin issuers and regulated projects use it to meet legal requirements or lock stolen funds.

For a typical community or meme token, though, it mostly reads as risk. If the creator can freeze wallets, they could freeze everyone except themselves, the classic honeypot setup. Revoking it right after launch removes that concern.

Why buyers check for it

Explorers and token analysis tools can read whether the freeze authority is still active. After revocation confirms, the mint state shows that no wallet can freeze token accounts. External services may need time to refresh their cached data.

On-chain, revoking is a single instruction that sets the mint’s freeze authority to none, forever. That permanence is exactly what makes it a credible trust signal.

Before you revoke

Make sure you will never need to freeze accounts: if your project has a compliance requirement, or wants the option of locking a hacked wallet, keep the authority and skip this tool. Everyone else usually pairs this with revoking the mint authority and making the metadata immutable, the other trust signals traders check before a liquidity pool goes live.

Frequently asked questions

Can I undo this later?

No. It is permanent: Solana does not allow an authority to be added back once set to none, not by you, not by Dexmint, not by anyone.

Who can revoke the freeze authority?

Only the wallet that currently holds it, usually the token creator’s wallet. The tool verifies this on-chain before letting you sign.

My token says there is no freeze authority. What does that mean?

It was created without one, or someone already revoked it. Nothing to do, screeners already show it as safe on this check.

Does this affect my holders or the supply?

No. Balances, supply, trading, and liquidity are untouched. The only change is that token accounts can never be frozen again.

What will this cost me?

One flat fee in SOL for the single revoke instruction, itemised with any coupon discount in the fee ledger before you approve, plus the tiny Solana network fee.

Is there a way to rehearse this first?

Yes, devnet SOL is free, so spin up a disposable token on Devnet and watch its freeze authority flip to Revoked before you touch a real one.

I want to freeze or unfreeze token accounts, not remove the authority. Is this the right tool?

No. This tool permanently removes the freeze authority itself. To freeze or unfreeze specific holder accounts while keeping the authority, use the Freeze Accounts and Unfreeze Accounts tools instead.
