1. Confirm the exact Mint address
Authority settings belong to one Mint. Start by matching the full Mint address across the official project source and a Solana explorer.
- Ignore ticker-only verification.
- Compare the full address.
2. Read the current Mint Authority field
If the parsed Mint Authority is none, there is no current Mint Authority configured for that standard Mint. If an address is shown, an authority is still configured.
BLINKBUN's checker labels the current state as NONE / REVOKED when the field is absent.
- None means no current Mint Authority.
- An address means an authority remains configured.
3. Understand what revoked does and does not mean
Removing Mint Authority eliminates that specific permission to mint additional units through the standard Mint Authority mechanism.
It does not prove that the project is legitimate, that holders are distributed, that liquidity is locked or that price cannot fall.
- One technical control can be verified independently.
- Do not convert one clean field into a complete safety verdict.
4. Verify other controls separately
Freeze Authority is a separate field. Holder concentration, Token-2022 extensions, liquidity, market route and project governance are separate again.
Use a layered checklist rather than treating Mint Authority as the only check.
- Mint Authority.
- Freeze Authority.
- Distribution and market context.
