Revoke Freeze Authority on Solana So No Holder Account Can Be Frozen

Once you revoke freeze authority on Solana, no wallet can freeze or thaw any holder's token account again. The revoke works on Token-2022 and SPL Token mints, and only the current freeze authority can sign it. Revoking costs 0.05 SOL plus the network fee, and the change is irreversible.

How it works

Removing freeze authority from an SPL token mint

  1. 1

    Choose the wallet that is this mint's freeze authority

    Any Solana wallet works, Phantom and Solflare included. Until one is connected, a loaded token's authority rows read "Connect to check".

  2. 2

    Enter the token's mint address

    Paste it, or pick the token from "Your tokens". Tokenry reads the mint on-chain and shows which wallet holds its freeze authority.

  3. 3

    Confirm your wallet on the Review revoke screen

    It should list your wallet as the current freeze authority, with a warning that you can never freeze a holder's account again. The signed transaction is simulated before Tokenry sends it.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Something not covered here? Contact support.

Why can't my wallet revoke the freeze authority?

The connected wallet is not the address the mint names as its freeze authority. When the Freeze Authority row shows "Another wallet", it also shows the start and end of the holder's address. Connect that wallet and load the token again. When the row shows "Revoked", the authority is already gone and there is nothing left to sign.

Does revoking freeze authority change the token supply or holder balances?

Only the mint authority can add to the supply, and a freeze revoke leaves it in place. Its holder can still mint new tokens. Balances stay where they are too. The transaction only sets the freeze authority on the mint to none and moves no tokens.

Can I revoke mint and freeze authority in one transaction?

Each revoke on these pages is its own transaction with its own 0.05 SOL fee. Mint plus freeze means two signatures and 0.1 SOL in service fees. After the freeze revoke confirms, an "Other authorities" section lists the rest with their status. If your wallet still holds mint authority, that row's Revoke Mint Authority button opens the mint page with this token loaded.

Do I pay the 0.05 SOL if the freeze revoke does not confirm?

The service fee and the freeze revoke share one transaction, and Solana applies both or neither. A failed or expired revoke costs no service fee. If the page says the revoke has not confirmed yet, check the token on Solscan before you retry. Only one revoke of the freeze authority can succeed, so the service fee cannot be charged twice.

How do I thaw frozen token accounts before revoking freeze authority?

Tokenry has no thaw tool on Solana, so unfreeze them with the spl-token CLI. Run its thaw command on each frozen token account, signed by the freeze authority's keypair. Revoke only after every account that should trade again is thawed, either here or with spl-token authorize <MINT_ADDRESS> freeze --disable.

The details

More about how to revoke freeze authority

01

Frozen token accounts before and after the revoke

A freeze authority is the address on a Solana mint that can freeze any account holding the token, a buyer's included. A frozen account cannot transfer its tokens, so the holder cannot sell or move them until the same authority thaws it. After a revoke, no wallet can freeze any account of the token or thaw one that is already frozen.

Any account frozen at the moment you revoke therefore stays frozen permanently, because a thaw also needs the freeze authority.

Regulated stablecoins keep a freeze authority on purpose; USDC's belongs to Circle, its issuer. For a token not created yet, the Solana token creator can remove freeze authority in its creation transaction. That is part of its 0.15 SOL fee.

02

Raydium pool vaults and an active freeze authority

Raydium's program does not stop a pool from opening for a token that can still be frozen. Raydium's docs on oracle and token risks say its interface warns on pools with freezable mints.

Per the same page, a freeze authority able to freeze a pool's vault account can shut the pool down. A pool vault is a token account. After a revoke, no wallet can freeze the vault that holds your token in any of its liquidity pools.

The Solana liquidity pool creator on Tokenry also warns while that authority is active. The freeze authority is one of three authorities Tokenry can revoke on a Solana token. To stop new minting, revoke mint authority on its own page. For the name, symbol and metadata link stored on a Token-2022 token, use the update authority page.
