Token authorities and permanent settings.
Know what minting, freezing, taxes and immutable metadata mean before creating your token.
Before you start
- Know the token address and network, or decide which permissions your new token should retain.
- Use the wallet that holds the authority or owner permission for the action.
- Review permanent removals and any separately delegated permissions before approving.
Choose a preset, then review its permissions
Standard and Meme presets start with simple fixed-supply settings. Managed, Taxable and Custom presets expose additional controls. Only settings compatible with the selected preset appear. Check the final review rather than assuming every preset gives the same permissions.
Solana mint and freeze authorities
The mint authority can create more tokens. Removing it permanently stops further minting. A freeze authority can freeze and unfreeze token accounts; removing it is also permanent. If you keep either authority, choose the controlling wallet carefully. Optional controller supply caps enforce the maximum chosen at creation.
Solana transfer fees and metadata
A Token-2022 transfer fee applies to token transfers, with a rate and maximum amount per transfer. Withheld fees are claimed separately. It is not the same as separate buy and sell taxes. Fee configuration and fee withdrawal use separate authorities. Immutable metadata permanently removes its update permission.
Ethereum owner and token capabilities
Choose minting, burning, pause, blocklist, transfer taxes and other controls where the template supports them. Capabilities and permanent ceilings must be chosen at creation. Removing the owner does not clear separately granted permissions; review delegates too. Standard fixed-supply tokens have no administrator powers.
Taxes, liquidity and trading
Ethereum taxable tokens can distinguish registered trading pools and apply configured buy or sell taxes. Ordinary transfer taxes and Solana native transfer fees work differently. Liquidity protocols may reject taxed tokens or certain extensions. Creating a token does not create a pool, open trading or list it on an exchange.
Vesting, locks and irreversible actions
Vesting and locks restrict access until their release conditions are met. Check the immutable beneficiary and every date before depositing. Removing authorities, closing minting, burning tokens and renouncing control can be permanent. Do not remove a permission you still need for your next step.
Fixed supply or future minting?
Keep a mint authority only if the project needs later minting. For a permanently fixed Solana supply, removing that authority prevents any later positive mint.
Common problems
A control is missing from the token manager.
Controls depend on the token standard, capabilities chosen at creation and your wallet permissions. An existing token cannot gain a capability its contract does not implement.
A mint or freeze authority was removed.
A permanently removed Solana mint or freeze authority cannot be restored. Check the remaining permissions before removing another authority.
