Freeze authority
The permission to freeze token accounts.
A freeze authority lets its owner lock a token account so the balance cannot be moved or sold. Some tokens need it for legal reasons, but for memecoins it is usually a warning sign.
Why it matters
If a token has an active freeze authority, you may be unable to sell when it matters most.
