Revoke Authority

Permanently revoke token authority to make your token immutable, demonstrating ultimate commitment to your community.

What is Revoking Authority?

Revoking authority means permanently removing all administrative control over your token. Once revoked, nobody (including you) can ever:

  • Mint new tokens (supply becomes fixed forever)
  • Freeze or unfreeze any accounts
  • Update token metadata or settings
  • Transfer authority to another address

This makes your token completely decentralized and community-owned.

Why Revoke Authority?

Revoking authority provides maximum trust and security for your community:

🛡️ Rug-Pull Protection
Impossible for anyone to manipulate supply
🤝 Maximum Trust
Proves long-term commitment to holders
📊 Listing Appeal
Many exchanges prefer immutable tokens
💎 Community Owned
True decentralization and fairness

When to Revoke Authority

Good Time to Revoke

  • After all planned minting is complete
  • Fair launch with fixed supply model
  • To build trust before major exchange listings
  • Community demands true decentralization
  • Project has reached stable phase

Wait Before Revoking If

  • You plan future token minting events
  • Tokenomics require supply adjustments
  • You might need to update metadata
  • Freeze/unfreeze functionality is needed
  • Project is still in early development

🚨 EXTREME WARNING

REVOKING AUTHORITY IS THE MOST PERMANENT ACTION POSSIBLE. IT CANNOT BE UNDONE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.

Once revoked:

  • • No one can ever mint more tokens - supply is fixed forever
  • • Token settings become immutable - no updates possible
  • • You cannot recover from mistakes or bugs
  • • Authority cannot be restored by anyone, ever
  • • There is NO way to undo this action

Think Carefully Before Revoking

  • • Is your total supply at the final intended amount?
  • • Have you tested all token functionality thoroughly?
  • • Are you certain about your tokenomics model?
  • • Do you need future minting for rewards or incentives?
  • • Have you consulted with your team and advisors?
  • • Can you accept a permanently fixed supply?

After Revoking

  • • Announce the revocation to your community
  • • Share the revocation transaction proof
  • • Update marketing materials with Immutable or Renounced
  • • Add to token description on listings
  • • Build trust through transparency

Permanently Revoke Authority

Make your token truly immutable and community-owned. This action cannot be undone.
