"Transferring, minting, and burning is paused on this mint" (Token-2022 0x3f)

The fix

The token uses the Token-2022 pausable extension and its pause authority has paused it. While paused, no one can transfer, mint or burn the token, so you cannot sell.

How to fix it

  1. Check the mint in an explorer: it shows the pausable extension and the pause authority.
  2. Only the pause authority can resume transfers; there is no user-side fix.
  3. Treat any tradable token with an active pause authority as high risk before buying.

If that is not it

  • If the error is 0x24, the token is non-transferable permanently, not paused.

Questions people ask

Can a paused Token-2022 token be unpaused?

Yes, by its pause authority. Until then, transfers, mints and burns all fail.

Is a pausable token a scam?

Not always, but an active pause authority lets one party freeze all trading; check it before buying.
