Revoke Mint Authority
Revoke mint authority permanently to lock token supply and prevent inflation for SPL and Token-2022 tokens.
About Revoke Mint Authority
Mint authority allows the holder to create new tokens and increase the total supply. When you revoke mint authority, this power is removed permanently.
To revoke mint authority makes the token's supply fixed and immutable, similar to Bitcoin's fixed supply model.
💡 Network Support
This tool works on both Devnet and Mainnet (select network at top). Devnet and Mainnet are separate networks—Devnet tokens cannot be used on Mainnet and vice versa. Switch to Devnet mode to safely test revoking mint authority for SPL and Token-2022 tokens before using on Mainnet.
Important Notes
- This action is permanent and irreversible.
- You can never create more tokens again.
- The total supply will be fixed forever.
- Only the mint authority can revoke itself.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Mint Authority is the sole power that allows the creation of new tokens, thereby increasing the total supply. The wallet address that holds this authority is the only one that can mint more tokens.
When you revoke mint authority, it's one of the most important actions a project can take to build trust. Revoke mint authority to provide a permanent guarantee that:
- The total token supply is now fixed and can never be increased
- The token cannot be devalued by unexpected inflation when you revoke mint authority
- The tokenomics are transparent and locked, similar to Bitcoin's fixed supply model
Yes. This tool works on both Devnet and Mainnet (select network at top). In Devnet mode you can Revoke Mint Authority on Devnet for SPL and Token-2022 tokens and test the process safely. Devnet has its own tokens, so the token must exist on Devnet — Mainnet tokens cannot be used.
NO. When you revoke mint authority, this is a permanent action that cannot be undone. Once you revoke mint authority, no one—not even the original creator—can ever create more tokens again. Please be absolutely certain before you revoke mint authority.
You should revoke mint authority after you are completely finished with the initial distribution phase and are certain you will not need to create more tokens for staking rewards, airdrops, or treasury funding. Many projects revoke mint authority after their public launch to signal commitment and build trust.
After you revoke mint authority, the total supply of your token becomes immutable. When you revoke mint authority, the mint function will be permanently disabled for your token. The existing tokens will continue to function normally and can be transferred, traded, and used without any change.
How to Revoke Mint Authority for Your Tokens
Revoking mint authority permanently disables the ability to create new tokens, ensuring your token supply remains fixed and unchangeable. This is a crucial step for projects that want to establish trust with their community and demonstrate commitment to fair tokenomics.
Once you revoke mint authority, no one (including the original token creator) can mint additional tokens ever again. You can revoke mint authority for both SPL and Token-2022 tokens, making your supply truly capped and providing investors with confidence in your project's tokenomics.
Why Revoke Mint Authority?
Revoking mint authority demonstrates long-term commitment to your community. Here are the key benefits:
- Show your community you're serious about keeping your token supply limited and fair
- Stop new tokens from being created so your existing tokens keep their value
- Prevent inflation and protect token holders
- Meet legal requirements by proving your token supply is fixed and won't grow
- Build investor confidence with transparent, locked tokenomics
How Revoke Mint Authority Works
To revoke mint authority, connect your Solana wallet and select the token you'd like to modify. If the token still has an active mint authority, you can revoke it with one simple transaction. Once you revoke mint authority, it cannot be restored—no more tokens can ever be minted. This is a permanent action that provides irreversible protection for your token supply.
After you revoke mint authority, consider revoking freeze authority or revoking update authority to make token immutable to complete your token's security configuration. Need to create a new token with fixed supply? Use our Solana token creator.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Wrong wallet: Ensure you're using the wallet that holds the mint authority. Check the authority status before proceeding.
- Wrong network: Verify you're on the correct network (Mainnet or Devnet). Mainnet tokens cannot be used on Devnet and vice versa.
- Authority already revoked: If the mint authority is already set to None, you cannot revoke it again. Check the token status first.
- Multisig not used: If the mint authority is a multisig, you must use the multisig wallet, not individual signer wallets.
- Token-2022 differences: Token-2022 tokens use the same revocation process, but verify the program ID matches Token-2022 (TokenzQdBNbLqP5VEhdkAS6EPFLC1PHnBqCXEpPxuEb).
When NOT to Revoke Mint Authority
Do not revoke mint authority if:
- You plan to mint more tokens in the future (for airdrops, staking rewards, or treasury funding)
- Your project has ongoing governance or migration plans that require minting
- You haven't completed your initial token distribution
- You're unsure about your tokenomics strategy
Note on Token-2022: Token-2022 tokens follow the same revocation process as standard SPL tokens. The behavior is identical—once revoked, minting is permanently disabled.
