Revoke Freeze Authority on Solana
Freeze authority is the permission that can allow a Solana token authority to freeze token accounts. If your token no longer needs this control, revoking freeze authority can help show holders that token accounts cannot be frozen by that authority in the future.
This action is usually irreversible, so review the token mint, connected wallet, and authority status carefully before signing. DEXArea is non-custodial. Your wallet signs the transaction, and your private keys stay in your wallet.
What Does Freeze Authority Mean?
Freeze authority is separate from mint authority. Mint authority controls future token minting, while freeze authority relates to whether token accounts can be frozen. Learn more in our guide: What Is Mint Authority on Solana?
Revoking freeze authority removes that freezing permission in most standard cases. It does not change token supply, burn tokens, lock liquidity, update metadata, or revoke mint authority. This action is usually irreversible.
For related authority changes, see revoke mint authority, make token immutable, and the Solana token security checklist.
How it works
Connect wallet
Link your Solana wallet to begin
Select token
You must be the current Freeze Authority
Review & confirm
Check warnings, then sign the transaction
Select Token *
- Connect your wallet to load your tokens
- Choose a token where you are the current freeze authority
Current status / Review
- Check whether freeze authority is already revoked (no action needed)
- Confirm this is a permanent, irreversible action
Important
- Revoking is permanent and cannot be undone
- Only the current freeze authority can perform this action
- If any accounts are frozen, unfreeze accounts first — revocation prevents unfreezing forever
About Revoke Freeze Authority
Freeze authority lets a designated wallet freeze token accounts for that mint. Revoking it removes that control on the mint in most standard SPL and Token-2022 cases. Confirm the freeze authority address on Explorer (Mint → Freeze Authority) before signing.
💡 Test on Devnet
Switch to Devnet mode to test safely. Devnet uses separate tokens from Mainnet, so your token must exist on Devnet to test there.
Security & Non-custodial
Non-custodial: We never store private keys.
You sign the transaction in your wallet.
We can't move your funds.
Important Notes
- Revoking is usually permanent and cannot be undone
- You will lose the ability to freeze token accounts for this mint
- Only the current freeze authority wallet can sign this transaction
- Unfreeze any frozen accounts first if needed — see unfreeze accounts

Frequently Asked Questions
What is freeze authority on Solana?
Freeze authority is a permission on a token mint that lets a designated wallet freeze token accounts holding that token. While an account is frozen, it typically cannot send or receive that token until it is unfrozen. Freeze authority is separate from mint authority and from update authority (see making a token immutable).
What happens when I revoke freeze authority?
Revoking freeze authority removes the ability for that authority holder to freeze token accounts in most standard SPL and Token-2022 setups. It does not change token supply, burn tokens, lock liquidity, or update metadata. If any accounts are already frozen, they may remain frozen—unfreeze accounts before revoking when possible.
Is revoking freeze authority reversible?
Usually no. Once freeze authority is set to none on the mint, it is generally not possible to assign a new freeze authority. Review the mint address and authority status on view metadata before signing.
Is freeze authority the same as mint authority?
No. Freeze authority and mint authority are separate permissions. Mint authority controls whether more tokens can be minted, while freeze authority can allow token accounts to be frozen in supported token setups. Revoking freeze authority does not revoke mint authority. If you also want fixed supply, review mint authority separately. Learn more in What Is Mint Authority on Solana?
Does revoking freeze authority change token supply?
No. Revoking freeze authority does not mint, burn, or otherwise change the token supply.
Does revoking freeze authority lock liquidity?
No. Revoking freeze authority does not lock or remove liquidity from a DEX pool. It only affects the freeze permission on the mint.
Do I need the authority wallet to revoke freeze authority?
Yes. The connected wallet must be the current freeze authority for the token mint. You sign the transaction in your wallet; DEXArea is non-custodial and does not hold your private keys.
Can I revoke freeze authority without coding?
Yes. Connect a wallet that holds freeze authority, select your token mint, review the details, and approve the transaction in your wallet. Platform fee: 0.05 SOL plus Solana network fees. You can test on Devnet before using Mainnet. See also how to revoke freeze authority on Solana and the token security checklist.

Understanding Freeze Authority Revocation
Use this tool to revoke freeze authority from an SPL or Token-2022 token mint when you no longer need account-freeze control. After a successful transaction, the mint typically has no freeze authority, so new freezes cannot be initiated by that role. Works on Mainnet and Devnet.
What revocation does and does not do
- Removes freeze authority from the mint in most standard setups
- Does not change supply, burn tokens, lock liquidity, or update metadata
- Does not revoke mint authority or update authority
- Is usually irreversible once confirmed on-chain
Critical: Check frozen accounts first
If any token accounts are currently frozen, revoking freeze authority will prevent unfreezing forever. Those accounts will remain permanently frozen.
Unfreeze accounts firstCommon Errors
Not current freeze authority
Your wallet must hold the freeze authority. Check the token's freeze authority address on Solana Explorer.
Wrong network
Ensure you're on the correct network (Mainnet vs Devnet). The token must exist on the selected network.
Token program mismatch
Token uses an unexpected program. This tool supports standard SPL Token and Token-2022 programs.
Wallet rejected signature / insufficient SOL
Ensure you have enough SOL for fees (0.05 SOL platform fee + network fee). Approve the transaction in your wallet.
