🧠 What Happens If You Don’t Use Revoke & Freeze?

You launched a token—but skipped the “Revoke” and “Freeze” steps.
So what now? Is your token still safe?

 

🚨 The Risk of Not Revoking Mint Authority

If mint authority is still active, more tokens can be created at any time—even accidentally.
This can destroy your token’s value or trust in your project.

Even if you don’t plan to mint more, others may assume it’s a rug risk.

 

🧊 What Happens Without Freezing

Freeze authority lets you block transfers if something goes wrong (e.g., wallet hacked or fraud attempts).
Not setting it means you have no emergency brake.

 

🎯 Why These Features Exist

  • Revoke: Trust signal—no more minting possible
  • Freeze: Security control—pause suspicious activity

Solana Token Creator lets you set both of these with a single click πŸ”’

 

βœ… Best Practice

  • Always revoke mint authority after launch
  • Set freeze authority if you’re planning long-term use
  • Be transparent with your community

 

πŸ’¬ Final Thought

These aren’t “extra options”—they’re essential protections.
If you're serious about your token, Revoke & Freeze aren't optional.
