VeydorWhat does mint authority mean?
Plain-language guide · updated 27 October 2026
Short answer
Mint authority is the right to create new coins. If the creator of a memecoin still has that right, they can make extra coins at any moment and sell them, which makes your share worth less or makes the price collapse. If the right is revoked, nobody can make new coins any more: that does not make a coin safe, but it rules out one known trap.

Veydor shows, in plain language, which known dangers a Solana coin has right now. Free, no account, and Veydor never asks you to connect your wallet.
Go to the checkA check is a snapshot: a coin can change within minutes. A new check shows the situation at that moment.
Why it matters
When a memecoin starts, it is fixed how many coins there are. Your share is a piece of that whole. If someone can quietly create millions more, your piece gets smaller. If they sell those new coins to the pool, the money of the buyers goes to them and the price drops.
With Pump.fun coins it says little
Coins that start on Pump.fun have the mint authority revoked from the beginning. That is why ‘cannot make more’ does not separate the good from the bad for such a coin: almost every new coin has it, including coins that are worth almost nothing within a day. See is Pump.fun safe?
When it is normal
Large stablecoins such as USDC do have a mint authority: the issuer creates coins when money comes in. With a well-known, regulated issuer that is normal. With an anonymous memecoin there is no good reason for it.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between mint authority and freeze authority?
With mint authority the creator makes coins. With freeze authority they put the coins of others on hold. With a memecoin you want both to be revoked.
How do I see whether the mint authority is revoked?
Paste the address of the coin in Veydor. Under ‘Can they make new coins?’ it says in plain language whether that right still exists. On a Solana blockchain explorer it is listed under ‘Mint Authority’: if it says nothing or ‘none’, it is revoked.
Is a coin safe if the mint authority is revoked?
No, not automatically. It rules out one trap. A coin can still go to zero if the creators or a few big owners sell, or if attention fades.
Can a revoked mint authority come back?
No. Once the right is revoked, nobody can put it back, not even the creator.
