Adding the Freeze Delegate Plugin to an Asset

Adding a Freeze Plugin to an MPL Core Asset

import { publicKey } from '@metaplex-foundation/umi'
import { addPlugin } from '@metaplex-foundation/mpl-core'

const assetAddress = publicKey('11111111111111111111111111111111')

await addPlugin(umi, {
  asset: assetAddress,
  plugin: { type: 'FreezeDelegate', data: { frozen: true } },
}).sendAndConfirm(umi)

Delegate the Freeze Authority

The Authority to freeze and thaw an Asset can be delegated to a different Address than the owner.

Thaw an MPL Core Asset

import { publicKey } from '@metaplex-foundation/umi'
import { approvePluginAuthority } from '@metaplex-foundation/mpl-core'

const asset = publicKey('11111111111111111111111111111111')
const delegateAddress = publicKey('22222222222222222222222222222222')

await approvePluginAuthority(umi, {
  asset: asset.publicKey,
  plugin: { type: 'FreezeDelegate' },
  newAuthority: { type: 'Address', address: delegateAddress },
}).sendAndConfirm(umi)

Freezing an Asset

Freeze an MPL Core Asset

import { publicKey } from '@metaplex-foundation/umi'
import { freezeAsset, fetchAsset } from '@metaplex-foundation/mpl-core'

const assetAddress = publicKey('11111111111111111111111111111111')
const assetAccount = await fetchAsset(umi, assetAddress)

const delegateSigner = generateSigner(umi)

await freezeAsset(umi, {
    asset: assetAccount,
    delegate: delegateSigner.publicKey,
    authority: delegateSigner,
  })

Thawing a Frozen Asset

When an Asset is frozen it can be thawed again by the plugin authority.

Thaw an MPL Core Asset

import { publicKey } from '@metaplex-foundation/umi'
import { thawAsset, fetchAsset } from '@metaplex-foundation/mpl-core'

const assetAddress = publicKey('11111111111111111111111111111111')
const assetAccount = await fetchAsset(umi, assetAddress)

const delegateSigner = generateSigner(umi)

  await thawAsset(umi, {
    asset: assetAccount,
    delegate: delegateSigner,
  })
