Avalanche Token Manager: Change Tax, Supply, Limits or Owner

What each tab in the manager changes

The Avalanche token manager shows its tabs only to the wallet that owns the token now. Ownership is always there; Tax, Supply, Trading and Voting show only when the token was created with a matching feature. No code is needed: every change is a field and a button.

Tax: a Changeable tax moves up or down with "Update tax", from 0% to 20% each for buy, sell and transfer. A Fixed tax can only go down, with "Lower tax", and each cut is permanent.

Supply: "Mint" creates new tokens and sends them to the address you enter, up to the supply cap if the token has one. "Burn" destroys tokens you hold and lowers the supply by the same amount, permanently.

Trading: the anti-whale limits "Max wallet" and "Max per trade" can only go up, with "Raise limits", and each raise is permanent. Pause stops every transfer, trades included, until you unpause. Blacklist stops a wallet from sending or receiving the token until you take that wallet off the blacklist.

Voting: tokens count as votes only once you activate them for yourself with "Activate my votes" or give them to another address with "Give votes".

Ownership: hand ownership to a new owner in 2 steps, or make a permanent change under "Permanent changes".

Where the tax applies and who receives it

An Avalanche token made with Tokenry pays buy and sell tax in its Uniswap v2 pools with AVAX, USDC, USDt, USDC.e or USDT.e. Its main pair, with WAVAX, is where it sells its collected tax.

Buy tax applies to tokens bought out of those pools. Sell tax applies to anything sold into them, through any router or aggregator. Transfer tax applies only to plain wallet-to-wallet transfers. Trades on Uniswap v3 or v4 pools pay no tax.

The tax is split between up to 5 fee wallets and, if the token has them, a burn share and a liquidity share. Where the token pays fee wallets in Avalanche's own coin, they receive WAVAX, not plain AVAX. WAVAX is Wrapped AVAX, redeemable 1 for 1 for AVAX.

Avalanche token changes that cannot be undone

Some changes in the manager cannot be undone, by you or anyone. Renouncing ownership is permanent. With no owner, no mint, tax change, pause, blacklist or limit change can run again (OpenZeppelin access control).

Removing the anti-whale limits is permanent: any wallet can then hold and trade any amount. Raising a limit cannot be undone, because limits never go back down. Lowering a Fixed tax cannot be undone, because a Fixed tax never goes back up. A burn is permanent.

"Remove limits" and "Renounce" sit under "Permanent changes" and work only after you type the token's symbol exactly, case included.

Renounce last, so your options stay open. Lower the tax first if you want to, then unpause, remove the anti-whale limits and take every wallet off the blacklist. The manager refuses to renounce until those last three are done. A token with no owner is never left paused, limited or with blocked wallets.

Hand an Avalanche token to a new owner in 2 steps

Transferring ownership takes 2 transactions, one from each wallet.

Step 1: enter the new owner's address and press "Start transfer". You stay the owner until step 2.

Step 2: the new owner opens the manager with their wallet, pastes the token address and presses "Accept ownership". That is their transaction, so they need a little AVAX for gas.

Until they accept, you can press "Cancel transfer" or start again to another address. A mistyped or unreachable address can never become the owner, because nothing changes until that address accepts. Once the transfer completes, the new owner is exempt from the tax and limits, and you no longer are.

What is set at creation and cannot change

Some parts of an Avalanche token are written into its contract at creation, and no one can change them afterwards. They are the name, symbol, decimals, supply cap, fee wallets and their shares. The burn and liquidity shares, the main pair, the exempt addresses you chose and the set of features are fixed too.

A token holds only the code of the features chosen when you create a token on Avalanche. Pick mint, tax, pause or any other feature you may need at that point. The logo and project info are not stored in the token contract.

Next steps after a mint

After a mint, send the new tokens to a list of wallets with the Avalanche multisender. The multisender's Tokenry fee is 0.02 AVAX per recipient, plus gas.
