How to Revoke Mint Authority on a Solana Token

To revoke mint authority on a Solana token created with DexLab Minting Lab, open the token in Token Hub, select the Manage tab, open Update Mint Authority, check Remove Mint authority, and sign the transaction in your wallet. The same flow through the Update Freeze Authority card revokes freeze authority. Revocation is permanent and cannot be undone.

When a token page or a scanner says "mint revoked", it means exactly this: the mint authority has been set to none, so no wallet can mint new tokens and the supply is fixed forever. Revoking freeze authority permanently gives up the power to freeze the token accounts of holders. Both are common trust signals that traders look for before buying a new token, and Token Hub shows each one as either the current authority address or "Revoked".

How to Revoke Mint or Freeze Authority

  1. Open your token in Token Hub

    Go to Token Hub and open the page of your token. Connect the wallet that currently holds the authority you want to revoke; the authority cards stay disabled for any other wallet.

  2. Select the Manage tab

    The Manage tab lists every management action for the token. It is available for tokens created with the current DexLab Minting Lab; tokens created elsewhere show a notice instead.

  3. Open Update Mint Authority or Update Freeze Authority

    Each authority has its own card. The card shows an input for a new authority address, which you leave empty when revoking.

  4. Check "Remove Mint authority" (or "Remove Freeze authority")

    Ticking the checkbox disables the address input and shows the warning that removing the authority is permanent and cannot be undone.

  5. Sign the transaction

    The app simulates the transaction first and then asks your wallet to sign. Once the transaction confirms, the authority is set to none on-chain and the token page reflects it.

Revoking authority FAQ

What does revoking mint authority do?

It permanently removes the ability to mint new tokens. The total supply becomes fixed at its current amount, which is why a revoked mint authority is a common trust signal for buyers.

What does revoking freeze authority do?

It permanently removes the ability to freeze token accounts of the token. Nobody can lock holders out of transferring afterward. You can also launch without freeze authority in the first place: the DexLab create form ships with the freeze authority toggle off by default.

Can I transfer an authority instead of revoking it?

Yes. The same card accepts a new authority address. Enter the address instead of ticking the remove checkbox, and the authority moves to that wallet. Revoke only when you want the power gone forever.

Is revoking reversible?

No. The interface warns that removing an authority is permanent and cannot be undone. Once the transaction confirms there is no way to restore the authority.

How much does revoking an authority cost?

The Minting Lab service fee for an authority update is set by the on-chain fee configuration, which the app reads live: as configured on 2026-08-30 it is 0.05 SOL, and tokens created through Minting Lab pay 50 percent of that, 0.025 SOL. The Solana network fee is added on top, and your wallet shows the exact total before you sign. There is no charge for launching without an authority in the first place: the create form toggles are free.

What does "mint revoked" mean on a token page?

It means the mint authority of the token is set to none, so no one can ever mint more of it and the total supply is final. On DexLab Token Hub the Overview shows "Mint Authority : Revoked" for such a token and the authority address otherwise. "Freeze Authority : Revoked" means the same for freezing: no holder account can be frozen.

How do I check whether a token has revoked its mint authority?

Open the token in Token Hub by its mint address. The Overview lists Mint Authority and Freeze Authority, each showing either the current authority address or "Revoked". Any Solana explorer shows the same two fields on the mint account, so the answer does not depend on DexLab.

Should I revoke mint authority before creating a liquidity pool?

Nothing on DexLab requires it, a pool can be created either way. But buyers and token scanners read a revoked mint authority as proof that the supply cannot be inflated and a revoked freeze authority as proof that holders cannot be locked out, so most projects revoke before the pool goes live rather than after.

Does revoking affect tokens already in circulation?

No. Existing balances, transfers, and pools are untouched. Revoking mint authority only removes the ability to create new tokens, and revoking freeze authority only removes the ability to freeze token accounts. Reducing the supply is a separate action: burning tokens you hold.

Can I revoke authorities on a Token-2022 token?

Yes. The Update Mint Authority and Update Freeze Authority cards work for tokens on the standard SPL Token program and on Token-2022; the app signs the update with whichever program the token was created with.

What about the metadata update authority?

That is a third, separate authority. The Manage tab has an Update Metadata Authority card next to the mint and freeze cards. Revoking it makes the name, symbol, image, and links permanent, and it is independent of the other two: you can fix the supply and still keep metadata editable, or the reverse.

Why is the Manage tab not available for my token?

The Manage tab covers tokens created with the current DexLab Minting Lab. Tokens created with the legacy version or outside DexLab show a notice instead of the management cards.
