How to Freeze Solana accounts (in 2 steps)
Freezing Solana accounts means that when an account has a token, it will not be able to make transactions with it.
This process is completely reversible, and if what you need is the opposite process, i.e. to unfreeze, you can see our guide on how to unfreeze solana accounts.
How to make freeze of wallets from Solana step by step
To freeze accounts and prevent token transactions, you must first log in to the Freeze Token Account tool at Smithii and follow the steps below:
- Connect your Wallet and select the token: In the Token Address field, select the token you want to manage in the Wallet Authority of the token.
- Enter the accounts to be frozen: In the List of Token Accounts that will be Frozen field, add the addresses of the wallet accounts you wish to freeze. This is done with the Add button or by uploading them in bulk with a CSV file. (You can download a CSV Sample, fill it with the addresses, and re-upload it by pressing the Upload CSV button).
- Confirm the action: Once all the accounts are listed, check that everything is correct. Then, press the Freeze button to freeze the selected accounts.
To verify the status of the accounts check Solscan to confirm that the accounts are frozen correctly.
Conclusion
You can quickly upload wallet addresses and apply the freeze when you feel it is necessary. Remember that applying this practice in a discretionary manner can seriously damage the community's trust in your token.
