Revoke Freeze Authority on Solana Complete Guide

Introduction

The DEXArea Solana Freeze Authority Revoker lets you permanently remove the freeze authority from SPL and Token-2022 tokens on Solana directly from your browser. This tool makes your token permanently unfreezable, enhancing security and building trust with users.

All actions are handled by your connected wallet and confirmed on-chain. Once freeze authority is revoked, no one can freeze token accounts, making this an irreversible security enhancement that should be planned carefully.

1. What It Does

  • Permanently removes freeze authority from your token
  • Makes accounts unfreezable - no one can freeze token accounts after revocation
  • Requires freeze authority - you must own or have been delegated the freeze authority for the token

2. Why Use DEXArea’s Freeze Authority Revoker

  • Simple interface: No code required - just connect wallet, select token, confirm revocation
  • Universal support: Works with any SPL token or Token-2022 token where you have freeze authority
  • Flat pricing: 0.05 SOL platform fee (plus network fees)

3. Quick Start

  1. Connect wallet containing the token’s freeze authority
  2. Select the token you want to revoke freeze authority from
  3. Confirm and sign the transaction in your wallet
  4. Freeze authority is permanently revoked - the token becomes unfreezable

4. What You Need

  • Freeze authority for the token you want to make unfreezable
  • SOL in your wallet for platform fee (0.05 SOL) + transaction fees

5. When to Use

  • Security hardening: Remove the ability to freeze accounts for better decentralization
  • Trust building: Show users that their tokens cannot be frozen by anyone
  • Compliance requirements: Meet regulatory requirements for non-freezable tokens
  • Final step in token setup: Complete your token’s security configuration

10. Troubleshooting

Common Issues

  • “No freeze authority” — You don’t own the freeze authority for this token
  • “Insufficient SOL” — Add SOL to your wallet for platform fee (0.05 SOL) + transaction fees
  • “Token not found” — Check selected network
  • “Transaction failed” — Check network congestion and try increasing priority fee

11. FAQ

Can I revoke freeze authority if I don’t own it? No - only the freeze authority holder can revoke it.

What happens to already frozen accounts? They remain frozen until manually unfrozen (if you still have freeze authority).

Can I restore freeze authority after revoking it? No - this action is permanent and irreversible.

Does this affect the token’s functionality? No - the token continues to work normally, just without the ability to freeze accounts.

What if my transaction fails? Only network fees are charged. The revocation doesn’t occur, so freeze authority remains intact. The 0.05 SOL platform fee is only charged on successful transactions.

Should I revoke freeze authority for all my tokens? It depends on your use case. Consider whether you need the ability to freeze accounts for compliance or security reasons.
