With the rapid development of blockchain technology, Solana, a high-performance public chain platform, has attracted significant attention for its low costs, high throughput, and fast transaction confirmation times. Within the Solana ecosystem, token distribution and community management are crucial components of project development. Automatic freezing and Telegram (TG) broadcasting features provide more efficient token management and information dissemination. This article will detail how to implement automatic freezing of Solana tokens using the GTokenTool platform and, combined with Telegram broadcasting settings, help projects improve operational efficiency and community engagement.
1. What is Solana’s auto-freeze feature?
In the Solana network, each token or NFT account must pay a certain amount of SOL as "rent" to keep the account active. If the account is no longer in use, closing it can recover the rent, thereby reducing operating costs. However, manually closing accounts is time-consuming and labor-intensive, especially when managing a large number of accounts. The automatic freezing function (AutoFreeze) provided by GTokenTool allows users to freeze and close unused token accounts in batches, recovering the rental SOL, while automating management through smart contracts, greatly improving efficiency. In addition, GTokenTool also supports Telegram broadcasting. By setting up a Telegram bot, project owners can push information about token freezes, account closures, or other key operations to the community in real time, enhancing transparency and user trust.
2. Preparation
Before using the automatic freeze and TG broadcast functions, you need to complete the following preparations:
1. Install Phantom Wallet
- Install Phantom Wallet: Download the Phantom Wallet browser extension or mobile app. Phantom is the most commonly used non-custodial wallet in the Solana ecosystem, supporting token management and trading.
- Create or import a wallet: Follow the prompts to create a new wallet or import an existing one. Make sure to seed phrase and keep it in a safe place. Never disclose it.
- Prepare SOL: Deposit at least 0.03 SOL in your wallet to pay for network fees and account operation fees (such as gas fees when creating a token account or freezing an account).
3. Steps to set up the automatic freeze function
Here are the specific steps to automatically freeze Solana tokens using the GTokenTool one-click token issuance platform:
1. Connect your wallet
- Visit the AutoFreeze page ( https://sol.gtokentool.com/zh-CN/airdropSection/AutoFreeze ).
- Click "Select Wallet" in the upper right corner and select Phantom Wallet. When the wallet authorization window pops up, click "Confirm" to complete the connection.
- Once connected, your wallet address will be displayed in the upper right corner. Make sure you have enough SOL in your wallet to pay for network fees.

2. Select a network
- Select the network type on the page. GTokenTool supports Mainnet, Testnet, and Devnet. For actual operations, it is recommended to select Mainnet; for testing, you can select Testnet.
- Testnet operations do not require real SOL, and test SOL can be obtained through the Solana development network faucet.
3. Configure automatic freeze parameters
- Select token account: On the automatic freezing page, the system will automatically scan the token accounts in your wallet and list all accounts that can be frozen (including empty accounts with a balance of 0 and ordinary token accounts).
- Account Type Description:
- Empty account: An account with a balance of 0. There is no need to worry about the impact of closing it on the wallet.
- Regular Token Account: An account containing tokens. Once frozen, the tokens will be destroyed and the rent will be reclaimed. Please carefully confirm whether the tokens in the account still have value, as the freezing operation is irreversible.
- Set freezing conditions: You can manually select accounts to freeze, or set automatic rules (such as automatically freezing accounts with balances below a certain threshold).
- Confirm the action: After confirming the frozen account list, click "Execute Freeze." The Phantom Wallet will pop up a transaction confirmation window. Check the gas fee and confirm the transaction.
4. Rent recovery
- After the freeze is completed, the system will automatically destroy the selected account and return the rent to your wallet.
- You can enter your wallet address in the Solana browser to view transaction records and rental recovery status.
5. Notes
- Irreversible operations: Freezing and destroying accounts are irreversible. Please make sure that the token account still has value before performing any operations.
- Network Fees: Each freeze transaction requires a small gas fee. Make sure you have enough SOL in your wallet.
- Batch operation: GTokenTool supports batch freezing of accounts , which is suitable for project parties that manage a large number of token accounts and has high operational efficiency.

5. Frequently Asked Questions
- Does automatic freezing affect wallet security? No. Freezing only affects specific token accounts and does not affect the security of the wallet itself. Closing empty accounts is particularly safe, as they have no token balances.
- What should I do if the freeze operation fails?
- Check whether the SOL balance in your wallet is sufficient to pay the gas fee.
- Make sure your network connection is stable and try switching to the mainnet or testnet.
VI. Summary
The GTokenTool platform's auto-freeze feature allows the Solana project to efficiently manage token accounts, recover rental SOL , and reduce operating costs. Furthermore, combined with the Telegram broadcast function, the project can deliver key information to the community in real time, enhancing transparency and user trust. The entire setup process is simple and intuitive, requiring no coding, making it easy for even blockchain novices to get started.
