How Do I Revoke Authorities After Creating My SPL Token?

Yes, you can revoke your token's authorities after it's created. Connect the wallet that created the token to our free Manage Token page, scan your mint address, click Execute revoke and approve the transaction. It takes about two minutes and costs only the Solana network fee.

TL;DR

• You can revoke mint, freeze and update authority at any time after creating your token.
• You need the wallet that holds the authority. Usually that's the wallet you created the token with.
• Each authority is revoked separately, so you can keep some and drop others.
• It's free. You pay only the network fee (0.000025 SOL in our example).
• Revoking is permanent. Nobody can undo it, including you.

This guide covers only the how. To decide which authorities to revoke, read why you should revoke mint and freeze authority first.

Step 1: Connect Your Wallet

Go to the Manage Token page and click Select Wallet in the top right corner.

Pick the wallet you created the token with. Only the wallet that holds an authority can revoke it.

Step 2: Scan Your Token

Paste your token's mint address into the box and click Scan. The page reads the token straight from the chain.

Under Authorities you'll see a card for mint, freeze and update authority. Every card marked You control has an Execute revoke button.

Step 3: Click Execute Revoke and Sign

Click Execute revoke on the authority you want to give up. Your wallet opens and asks you to approve the transaction.

Check the network fee, then click Approve. Your wallet may warn you about sites it doesn't recognize. Before you approve, check that the address bar says soulminter.io.

Step 4: Check That It Worked

After the transaction confirms, the card changes to Revoked and shows Authority is null. The status badge at the top also flips, for example from Mint live to Mint locked.

Want to revoke freeze or update authority too? Repeat step 3 on that card. Each one is its own transaction.

Good to Know

• There's no undo. Revoking sets the authority to nobody through Solana's SetAuthority instruction. Double-check the mint address before you sign.
• No button? The connected wallet doesn't hold that authority, or it was already revoked.
• Token-2022 works too. The same page handles classic SPL tokens and Token-2022 mints.
• Haven't launched yet? Our token creator lets you revoke authorities during setup, so you skip this step entirely.
