Revoke Update Authority

Revoke update authority on any Solana Token-2022 token to make its metadata permanently immutable. Once revoked, the name, symbol, and image can never be changed by anyone. From a flat 0.05 SOL.

How to Revoke Update Authority

1

Connect your wallet

Connect Phantom, Solflare, or any Solana wallet that currently holds the update authority for the token.

2

Load your token

Paste the token's mint address, or pick from your tokens. Tokenry reads the metadata authority on-chain and confirms your wallet is the current update authority. It works on any Token-2022 token, not only ones created here.

3

Revoke and sign

Confirm the 0.05 SOL fee and sign one transaction. The update authority is set to null, permanently locking the metadata, and you can verify it on Solscan straight after.

Frequently Asked Questions

Update authority is the permission that lets a wallet change a token's metadata, its name, symbol, image, and description. Revoking it sets that authority to null, so the metadata is locked and no one, including you, can ever change the token's identity again. It is a one-time, permanent action that makes your token's metadata immutable.

Only the metadata: the token's name, its symbol, and the URI that points to its image and description. It does not control the supply or the ability to freeze accounts, which are the mint authority and freeze authority. Update authority is purely about the token's identity.

A metadata rug is when a token launches, gains holders, then the creator quietly changes its name, symbol, and logo, often to impersonate a trending token or relaunch a dead one under a hot narrative, deceiving both existing holders and new buyers. Revoking update authority makes the metadata permanent, so the identity buyers saw can never be swapped out. Pump.fun revokes update authority by default for exactly this reason.

Any Token-2022 token where your connected wallet is the current update authority, no matter where it was created. Tokenry reads the metadata authority straight from the mint account, so if your wallet holds it, you can revoke it here.

Token-2022 tokens, which store their metadata on-chain directly on the mint account. Legacy SPL tokens keep their metadata in a separate Metaplex account with its own update authority, which this tool does not target. If your token uses the Token-2022 program, the tool locks its metadata here.

No. Revoking update authority only locks the metadata. It does not change the supply, burn or move any tokens, or affect whether accounts can be frozen. Every holder and balance is untouched; only the name, symbol, and image become permanent.

No. Revoking update authority is permanent and irreversible. Once it is set to null, the metadata is locked forever and there is no way to restore the authority, so make sure your name, symbol, and image are final before you revoke.

A flat 0.05 SOL, plus a tiny Solana network fee of well under a cent, which is lower than many revoke tools charge. You pay once, sign one transaction, and the change is final.

Open your token's mint on Solscan and check the token extensions, where the update authority will show as none once it is revoked. Scanners like RugCheck, DexScreener, and Birdeye also stop flagging the metadata as mutable, which is what a careful buyer looks for.

Mint authority controls whether new tokens can be created, freeze authority controls whether holder accounts can be frozen, and update authority controls the metadata. They are independent, so revoking update authority locks the identity but leaves supply and freezing as they are. Tokenry has separate tools to revoke the mint authority and the freeze authority.

Why Revoke Update Authority on Your Solana Token

Update authority controls a token's metadata, its name, symbol, image, and the URI that points to its description and links. While the authority is active, whoever holds it can change any of that at any time. Revoking it sets the authority to null and locks the metadata permanently, so the token's identity, the thing holders recognize, can never be altered again.

This is a trust signal Solana buyers look for. When update authority is still set, scanners like RugCheck, DexScreener, and Birdeye flag the metadata as mutable, and careful buyers treat that as a risk. Revoking it, alongside revoking mint and freeze authority, is part of showing a community the token is finished and safe.

What Is a Metadata Rug?

The specific risk revoking prevents is a metadata rug. A token launches, gains holders and a chart, then the creator quietly rewrites its name, symbol, and logo, often to impersonate a trending token or relaunch a dead one under whatever narrative is hot that week. Holders who bought one thing suddenly hold another, and new buyers are deceived by an identity that was swapped out from under them.

Because this was an active attack vector, platforms like Pump.fun revoke update authority by default. Locking the metadata is the fix: once the update authority is null, the name, symbol, and image are permanent, and no one can repaint the token into something else after people have bought it.

Token-2022 Metadata vs Legacy Metaplex, and How It Works

It is worth being precise about what this tool targets. Token-2022 tokens store their metadata on-chain, directly on the mint account through the token's metadata extension, and this tool revokes the update authority there. Legacy SPL tokens instead keep their metadata in a separate Metaplex account with its own update authority, which is a different program that this tool does not handle. So this revokes update authority on Token-2022 tokens.

Under the hood, Tokenry reads the metadata authority from your token, confirms your connected wallet is the current update authority, and builds a single transaction that sets it to null. It is non-custodial: the server only prepares the transaction, and you sign it in your own wallet, so your keys never leave your device. It works on any Token-2022 token where your wallet holds the update authority.

Mint, Freeze, and Update Authority

A Solana token can carry three authorities, and they are independent. Mint authority controls whether new tokens can be created and so governs the supply. Freeze authority controls whether holder token accounts can be frozen, and it is the one Raydium requires to be revoked before you can open a pool. Update authority controls the metadata. Revoking one does not touch the others.

For a token you want to be fully locked down, you would revoke all three, and Tokenry has a separate tool for each, so you can revoke the mint authority to fix the supply and revoke the freeze authority to guarantee holders cannot be frozen. Before you revoke the update authority, make sure the name, symbol, and image are exactly right, because once the metadata is locked it is immutable and there is no way to correct it.
