Can update authority be restored later?

No. The action is intended to be permanent. After revoke, this authority can no longer edit token metadata fields like name, symbol, image, and links. The Solana program does not expose any instruction to reassign the authority after it is set to null.

Should I update metadata before revoking authority?

Yes, in most cases. Teams usually finalize branding and links first using Update Metadata, then revoke update authority as the last metadata control step before launching publicly.

Why do I get a metadata missing error?

That usually means the mint has no metadata account yet, or the mint address is incorrect. Verify the token mint address and create metadata first if needed before trying again.

Is revoke update authority the same as Make Immutable?

Not exactly. This tool focuses on the metadata update authority only. Make Immutable can combine multiple authority lock actions such as mint, freeze, and metadata in a single transaction depending on token state.

Does this change existing token balances or supply?

No. It only affects metadata edit permissions. Existing balances and supply stay exactly the same after this transaction.

What is the platform fee?

The platform fee is 0.1 SOL and is added to the same transaction. It is shown upfront in the action card before you confirm so there are no surprises.

Revoke Update Authority

Connect wallet in top bar

Use this tool to revoke update authority from Solana token metadata in one transaction. Connect the correct wallet, verify metadata account status, and lock metadata edits safely.

Token Mint Address (CA)

Status:

Metadata Missing / Invalid

After revoke, token metadata can no longer be edited from this authority.

Platform Fee

0.1 SOL

About this tool

What it does

Permanently removes the metadata update authority on an SPL token in one transaction so name, symbol, image, and links cannot be edited again from this authority.

How it works

Derives and reads the token's metadata account, confirms the connected wallet holds update authority, then submits one transaction that sets the new update authority to null.

Why use it

Locking metadata is a standard final-trust step. Holders see the token identity is fixed and cannot be quietly swapped after listing on a DEX.

How to lock token metadata in 3 steps

Paste the token mint address
Enter your SPL token's contract address (CA). The tool derives the metadata account and shows whether your wallet currently holds update authority.
Verify wallet and metadata status
Connect the wallet that controls metadata. The status badge shows Metadata Found when valid, or Metadata Missing / Invalid when the account is not present or your wallet cannot sign.
Confirm and submit the transaction
Read the irreversible-action warning, then click Revoke Update Authority. One on-chain transaction locks the metadata fields. Platform fee is 0.1 SOL, shown upfront.

What is metadata authority on Solana?

Metadata authority is the wallet allowed to edit an SPL token's name, symbol, description, image, and social links. While active, the holder can change how the token appears across wallets, explorers, and DEX listings at any time. Revoking it sets the authority to null permanently — no wallet can edit those fields again. Most projects finalize their branding first, then lock metadata before listing on a DEX.

One-click revoke — Submit the update authority revoke from a single focused button
Wallet or private key — Sign with a connected wallet or imported private key
Transparent pricing — Platform fee is 0.1 SOL, shown upfront before submission
Network-aware confirmation — Confirms on Solana mainnet or devnet based on current connection
