Frequently Asked Questions
Why Revoke Mint Authority on Solana Tokens
Mint authority gives someone the power to create unlimited new tokens, which can destroy your token's value through inflation. When you revoke mint authority, you permanently lock the token supply, ensuring no one can ever mint additional tokens. This creates scarcity and protects your token holders from dilution.
Many successful Solana projects revoke mint authority immediately after launch to demonstrate commitment to their community. It shows that the token supply is fixed and the project won't inflate the currency. This builds trust and makes your token more attractive to investors and traders.
Revoking mint authority is a one-time, irreversible action. Once done, your token supply is locked forever. This is why it's important to be certain before revoking. However, for most projects, especially those with a fixed supply model, revoking mint authority is a best practice that protects both the project and its community.
How Token Supply Works on Solana
On Solana, tokens can have a mint authority that allows creating new tokens at any time. This is different from tokens with a fixed supply where all tokens are created at launch. Having mint authority means you can increase the supply later, but it also means someone could abuse this power.
When you revoke mint authority, you're converting your token from a flexible supply model to a fixed supply model. The current total supply becomes the maximum supply forever. This is similar to Bitcoin's fixed supply of 21 million coins - no one can create more.
This fixed supply model is preferred by many investors because it provides certainty about token economics. They know exactly how many tokens will ever exist, which helps with valuation and prevents surprise inflation that could hurt token value.
