When you launch a token on Solana, it comes with powerful built-in permissions—most notably, the mint authority. This permission allows the holder to issue new tokens at will, which is useful during development but poses a major risk if left unchecked after launch. To build user trust and ensure your token cannot be arbitrarily inflated, it's considered best practice to revoke the mint authority before adding liquidity or going public. In this guide, we'll explain why this step matters and show you how to do it safely using tools like SlerfTools.

In Solana’s SPL token standard, mint authority is the permission that allows an address to mint (or create) new tokens. Whoever controls this authority essentially controls the token supply. Unless revoked, this authority can be used at any time to increase circulation—something that can destroy community trust or trigger rug-pull concerns.

Releasing a token without revoking mint authority is like launching a currency with no cap. For communities, investors, and DEX platforms like Raydium, this is a red flag. By revoking mint authority:

You prove the supply is fixed and can’t be manipulated.

You align with DeFi’s decentralization ethos.

You comply with listing requirements (Raydium LP pools require revocation of freeze and mint authority).

Go to the SlerfTools token permission renouncement page, where you can switch the language in the top right corner.

Copy the token contract for which you want to renounce permissions (you can click on the corresponding token in your wallet to view the contract address in the browser).

On the "Revoke Authority" feature page, paste the token contract to view the relevant permission information.

Select the types of permissions you want to renounce. For example, to renounce "Token Update Authority" and "Freeze Authority," it would look like the image below.

Submit the signed transaction to the blockchain to complete the renouncement of permissions.

Revoking mint authority on Solana is a simple yet essential step for anyone launching or managing a token. It protects the token supply from unauthorized changes and boosts trust within your community. Whether you're preparing to list on a DEX like Raydium or just want to demonstrate decentralization, removing mint authority is a best practice. Tools like SlerfTools make this process even easier — no code, no hassle.
