SOLTidy

Token launch

Disable the freeze authority on your Solana token

Paste a mint address to see whether the token is freezable and who holds that power, then revoke the freeze authority with one signature.

How it works

  1. 1

    Paste the mint address

    Enter the token's mint address, or connect your wallet and pick from the tokens where it still holds the freeze authority. The status loads without a wallet, so buyers can use it as a checker.

  2. 2

    See if the token is freezable

    The freeze authority row shows Revoked, or Active with the address that can freeze accounts. Revoking is only possible from that address, and the button unlocks when it is your connected wallet.

  3. 3

    Confirm and sign

    Thaw any accounts you froze, tick the confirmation that this is permanent, and approve the transaction with the 0.02 SOL fee. The panel reloads and shows the authority as revoked.

What the freeze authority can do to holders

Besides the mint authority, an SPL mint account has a second optional key: the freeze authority. Its holder can call FreezeAccount on any token account of that mint, belonging to any wallet. A frozen account keeps its balance but every transfer, sale or burn from it fails until the same authority calls ThawAccount. The feature exists for regulated assets: issuers of stablecoins such as USDC keep a freeze authority so they can comply with court orders and sanctions.

For an ordinary community token the same power is a hazard. The classic Solana honeypot works like this: buyers can purchase the token, the creator freezes their accounts right after, and only the creator is still able to sell. This is why wallets and scanners warn when a freeze authority is set, and why answering the question of whether a token is freezable takes one lookup on this page.

Freeze authority and Raydium, Orca and other DEX pools

DEXs care about this field because a frozen pool vault would lock every liquidity provider's funds. Raydium's pool creation has historically required the freeze authority to be disabled for classic SPL tokens, and rejects the mint with an error if it is still set; other venues show a warning badge or hide the token from default lists instead. Token-2022 mints face similar restrictions on several DEXs.

If you plan to add liquidity, revoke the freeze authority before creating the pool rather than after. It saves a failed pool transaction, and the first scan of your token by RugCheck or a screener will already show it as not freezable. Tokens made with the SOLTidy Token Creator have no freeze authority unless you explicitly enabled it, so there is nothing to revoke for them.

How revoking works and what stays frozen

The tool sends one SetAuthority instruction with the authority type FreezeAccount and the new authority set to none, the equivalent of spl-token authorize with the freeze and --disable flags. It is sent to the program that owns the mint, so classic SPL Token and Token-2022 mints both work. The token program has no way to set a freeze authority again once the field is empty, which makes the change permanent.

One detail is easy to miss: revoking does not thaw anything. Thawing requires the freeze authority's signature, so an account that is frozen at the moment you revoke stays frozen forever, with its tokens stuck. If you ever froze an account, thaw it first. Token-2022 mints that use the default account state extension to create accounts frozen by default depend on the authority for normal operation and should not revoke it.

Freeze authority vs mint authority

The two keys are independent and protect holders from different things. The mint authority controls supply: left active, it allows dilution. The freeze authority controls movement: left active, it allows individual holders to be locked. Revoking one leaves the other untouched, and a token is generally treated as renounced only when both show as revoked.

Each revoke is its own transaction and its own 0.02 SOL fee here, because many tokens need only one of them. The panel shows both fields side by side so you can see at a glance what is left. If the mint authority is still active, the Revoke Mint Authority page handles it in the same way.

Questions & answers

Is my token freezable? How do I check?

Paste the mint address into the panel above; no wallet is needed. If the freeze authority row says Revoked, no one can freeze holder accounts, now or in the future. If it says Active, the address shown can freeze any account of that token at any time. Explorers show the same field as Freeze Authority on the token page.

Can I get the freeze authority back after revoking it?

No. After the field is set to none, the token program rejects any attempt to assign a new freeze authority. It is permanent for you and for everyone else. That permanence is what makes it meaningful to buyers. Thaw any frozen accounts first, because they cannot be thawed afterwards.

How much does it cost to revoke freeze authority?

A flat 0.02 SOL SOLTidy fee per revoke, included in the transaction you sign, plus the normal Solana network fee of roughly 0.000005 SOL. No rent is paid or refunded because no account is created or closed. Checking any token's freeze status is free.

Why does Raydium say freeze authority must be disabled?

A pool holds your token in a vault account. If a freeze authority exists, its holder could freeze that vault and trap all liquidity, so pool creation checks the mint and refuses it while the authority is set. Revoke it here, wait for the transaction to confirm, and then create the pool again.

Is it safe to use this tool with my creator wallet?

Yes. It is non-custodial and the transaction has two instructions you can read in your wallet: SetAuthority for the freeze authority of your mint, and the 0.02 SOL fee transfer. It does not move tokens, does not change the mint authority and does not touch metadata. No other wallet than the current freeze authority can sign it.

Does revoking the freeze authority change the supply or mint authority?

No. It only clears the freeze authority field. Supply, decimals, balances and the mint authority remain as they were. If scanners still show a mintable warning afterwards, that is the separate mint authority, which has its own revoke page.

Why would a legitimate token keep its freeze authority?

Regulated issuers need it. USDC, USDT and PYUSD can freeze accounts to comply with law enforcement requests, and some security tokens and permissioned Token-2022 mints rely on it for allow-listing. For those, holders accept the trade-off knowingly. For a memecoin or community token there is normally no such justification.

Is there a fee?

Revoking a freeze authority costs a flat 0.02 SOL SOLTidy fee, paid in the same transaction, plus the usual Solana network fee of about 0.000005 SOL; checking whether a token is freezable is free.
