Wallet authority profile

This is one of the most consequential freeze keys on Solana: the August 24, 2026 on-chain read records it as the freeze authority of USDC — mint EPjFWdd5AufqSSqeM2qN1xzybapC8G4wEGGkZwyTDt1v, the chain's dominant dollar stablecoin, carrying about $411 million of tracked liquidity in our August 31, 2026 build.

Freeze authority is the power to lock any individual wallet's token balance in place — on a memecoin it is the classic honeypot lever, and our scanner treats it as a first-order risk. On a regulated, fiat-backed stablecoin it is the opposite of an oversight: the issuer keeps it deliberately, because compliance regimes require the ability to freeze balances tied to sanctioned or stolen funds, and it is used publicly and traceably when law enforcement asks. Same instruction on-chain, entirely different meaning.

What a USDC holder should take from this page is precision, not alarm: your balance can be frozen by the issuer, which is a centralization fact every fiat-backed stablecoin carries, and the reason self-custody of USDC is never fully censorship-resistant. The token's own page carries the full read, where this authority is listed as a disclosed property rather than a defect.

Authority state dated August 24, 2026, liquidity dated August 31, 2026, both refreshed weekly from RPC. If you are comparing stablecoin control models, the is-USDC-safe guide walks through exactly what this key can and cannot do.
