# 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.
## When to Use Each Action
| Situation | Action |
| ---------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- |
| Need to burn tokens / reduce supply | **Melt Authority** → Get Authority → burn from wallet |
| Updated social links or logo | **Edit Metadata** |
| Handing off to a DAO multisig | **Transfer Authority** |
| Test project deployed by mistake (pre-vesting) | **Cancel Project** |
## Troubleshooting
| Symptom | Fix |
| ------------------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Cancel Project shows "Not Available" | Vesting is already configured — cancellation is permanently disabled |
| Edit Metadata changes not visible | Refresh the public token page; CDN may cache for a few minutes |
| Transfer Authority fails | Address must be a valid Hathor address; ensure the wallet has HTR for the fee |
