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.
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

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.
