After Solana token is created, there will be 3 authorities: Revoke Update Authority, Revoke Freeze Authority and Revoke Mint Authority.

• Revoke Update Authority: Revoking update authority means you will not be able to modify the token metadata. It indeed makes investors feel more secure.

• Revoke Freeze Authority: Revoking freeze authority removes control over specific account actions. GTokenTool supports markets for tokens with this authority retained.

• Revoke Mint Authority: Revoking minting authority is essential for investor security and token success, preventing further token supply.

If the token is issued on GTokenTool and the logo has been uploaded, it will have these three authorities. If the token is issued on other platforms, it may have 2 authorities or 1 authority. Of course, no matter where you create and issue the token, you can revoke the authorities through GTokenTool.
