What Does Revoking a Delegate Do?
Revoking a delegate clears the token account's current delegate and resets the delegated amount to zero.
After revocation, the previous delegate no longer has authority to transfer or burn tokens on behalf of the token account.
How to Revoke a Delegate
Revoking a delegate uses the Token Program's Revoke instruction.
The Revoke instruction clears the delegate fields on the source token
account. In the Token Program, the token account owner signs the revocation. In
the Token Extension Program, the current delegate can also revoke the
delegation.
Source Reference
| Item | Description | Token Program | Token Extension Program |
|---|---|---|---|
Account | The token account state stores the delegate and delegated amount. | Source | Source |
Revoke | An instruction that removes the current delegate from a token account. | Source | Source |
process_revoke | Shared processor logic for delegate revocation. | Source | Source |
