🛠️Token Management
Once your token is created, the Token Manager screen at /admin/token/management exposes the post-deployment actions that fall outside of Vesting, Launchpad, Liquidity, Staking, and DAO. Open it from the sidebar's Token Manager entry under Token Management.
The header shows the token name, symbol, and current supply. Below it, four action cards.
Melt Authority
Transfer melt authority to your wallet.
When a token is created, Hathor issues a melt authority that allows decreasing total supply. By default this authority lives in the project contract. Pulling it into your wallet lets you burn tokens — useful for buybacks, supply cuts, or correcting accidental mints.
What happens: The melt authority is transferred from the project to your connected wallet address.
Reversible? No. Once moved out of the project, it stays in the wallet you choose.
Then what? With the authority in your wallet you can burn tokens through any Hathor wallet supporting token authorities.
Click Get Authority, approve the transaction in the wallet, enter your PIN.
Edit Metadata
Update project description, social links, and other metadata.
The token's name, symbol, and supply are permanent. Everything else — description, website, Twitter, Telegram, Discord, GitHub, Whitepaper, logo, category — can be updated here at any time.
Click Edit Metadata to open the edit form, change the fields you need, and submit. Metadata updates do not require a blockchain transaction.
Transfer Authority
Transfer project ownership to another developer address.
Permanently hands over project ownership and developer authority to a different Hathor address. The new owner gains full admin access — they can manage vesting, launchpad, liquidity, staking, DAO, and the Token Manager actions on this page.
⚠️ Irreversible. Triple-check the recipient address. Once transferred, you cannot reclaim ownership.
Use cases:
Moving a project from a personal dev wallet to a multisig
Handing off after acquisition
Decentralising control to a foundation address
Click Transfer Authority, enter the new owner address, confirm, sign in wallet.
Cancel Project
Cannot delete project after vesting is configured.
Available only before vesting deploys. Once vesting is configured the card shows Not Available with the explanation that projects with vesting cannot be cancelled, for security reasons.
If your project has no vesting yet and you want to abandon it, click Cancel Project and confirm.
