How to Update Solana Token Metadata (Name, Logo, Description)

Short answer

Solana SPL token metadata uses the Metaplex Token Metadata program. Fields like name, symbol, URI, and creators can be updated by the wallet that holds update authority, until that authority is revoked. MakeMeACoin lets founders open Metadata Tool from /metadata to update fields with a wallet-signed transaction.

You minted a Solana token but need to fix the name, logo, or description — and you are not sure whether update authority is still active or how to change metadata safely.

Key facts

  • Open /metadata on MakeMeACoin and paste your mint address
  • Confirm you hold update authority — if revoked, you cannot change fields
  • Upload the new logo or paste the new metadata URI

What this means

Fields like name, symbol, URI, and creators can be updated by the wallet that holds update authority, until that authority is revoked. MakeMeACoin lets founders open Metadata Tool from /metadata to update fields with a wallet-signed transaction.

Step-by-step

  1. Open /metadata on MakeMeACoin and paste your mint address.
  2. Confirm you hold update authority — if revoked, you cannot change fields.
  3. Upload the new logo or paste the new metadata URI.
  4. Edit name, symbol, and description as needed.
  5. Sign the update transaction. Changes propagate to Solscan, DEX Screener, and Birdeye within minutes.
  6. Optional: revoke update authority to lock metadata forever.

Common mistakes

  • Trying to update after revoking update authority — irreversible.
  • Using a broken IPFS or Arweave URL — image will show as broken across all trackers.
  • Changing name or symbol post-launch without communicating — traders may see a stale ticker.

This does not

  • guarantee token safety
  • guarantee price performance
  • replace independent verification
  • provide financial advice
