How to Revoke Freeze, Mint and Update Authority of your Solana Token

How to revoke Solana token authorities — full step-by-step tutorial using MintCraft. In this video I revoke all three authorities (mint, freeze, metadata) on my token to make it immutable, increase the trust score, and prove I can't rug. This is the final step 99% of token creators skip, and it's the reason most tokens die before they get a chance.

When you create a Solana token, three authorities are automatically assigned to your wallet: mint authority (lets you create new tokens), freeze authority (lets you freeze token accounts), and metadata update authority (lets you change name, logo, description). As long as these are active, investors see your token as high risk. Revoking them is how you prove you can't rug.

But here's the critical part — you can only revoke once, and the order matters. Revoke in the wrong order and you could lock yourself out of necessary changes. This video walks through the exact sequence.

🔒 THE THREE AUTHORITIES

**Mint Authority**: Lets you create new tokens and increase supply. As long as this is active, you can print unlimited tokens and dilute holders. RugCheck flags active mint authority as a major red flag.

**Freeze Authority**: Lets you freeze any token holder's account, preventing them from selling. This is the honeypot mechanism — people can buy but can't sell. Raydium requires freeze authority revoked before allowing LP creation.

**Metadata Update Authority**: Lets you change the token's name, symbol, logo, and description. As long as this is active, you could rebrand the token to impersonate another project.

⚠️ THE CORRECT ORDER

This is critical. Always revoke in this order:

1. **Freeze first** — Required for Raydium LP creation
2. **Create your LP and lock/burn it** — Do this while you still have the other authorities
3. **Mint last** — Only after you're done minting tokens for LP, airdrops, vesting
4. **Triple-check your branding** — Name, symbol, logo, socials
5. **Metadata last** — Only after everything is perfect

Never revoke metadata before fixing a typo. Never revoke mint before adding final LP depth. Never revoke freeze before creating your Raydium pool. The order saves you from permanent mistakes.

🎯 TRUST SCORE IMPACT

Here's how RugCheck scores your token based on authorities:

- All three active: Red flag, "high risk"
- Freeze revoked only: Yellow warning, "medium risk"
- Mint + freeze revoked: Green, "low risk"
- All three revoked: Dark green, "good" — the immutable label

Tokens with all authorities revoked consistently outperform tokens that don't. The trust signal matters.

❓ FAQ

Q: Can I undo a revoke?
A: No. Revoking is permanent and on-chain. There is no undo.

Q: Which authority should I revoke first?
A: Freeze. It's required for Raydium LP creation and has the lowest risk of locking you out.

Q: Do I have to revoke all three?
A: No, but investors expect it. Keeping any authority active is a red flag.

Q: Can I still mint tokens after revoking mint authority?
A: No. Once revoked, total supply is permanently fixed.
