Unlike Ethereum or BSC tokens, Solana tokens offer flexibility even after creation—you can update their full name, ticker, and logo anytime. This feature is a game-changer for project adaptability. Here's a step-by-step guide to modifying your Solana token details.
Prerequisites
- Phantom Wallet installed and connected
- The token's contract address
- Updated assets (name, ticker, logo) ready
Step-by-Step Guide to Updating Solana Token Metadata
1. Access the Token Update Tool
Visit the Solana token management section on PandaTool (ensure you're on the official site).
2. Navigate to "Update Token Info"
Locate this option in the dashboard—it’s typically under "Token Management" or similar.
3. Fill in the Updated Details
Provide the following:
Field | Description |
---|---|
Token Address | Paste the token’s contract address. |
Full Name | New formal name (e.g., "PandaTool Pro"). |
Ticker | Updated abbreviation (e.g., "PNDP"). |
Description | Revised token purpose or project summary. |
Logo | Upload a high-resolution image (PNG/JPG, ideally 256x256 pixels). |
👉 Best practices for token branding
Tip: Check "First-Time Upload" only if adding a logo for the first time.
4. Confirm and Pay Fees
Review all details, then click "Update Metadata". Approve the transaction in Phantom Wallet (≈0.1 SOL fee). Updates reflect within seconds.
Key Considerations
- Unlimited Revisions: Solana allows repeated updates, but frequent changes may confuse users.
- Contract Immutability: Only metadata changes—the token address stays fixed.
- Verification: Use Solscan to confirm updates post-transaction.
FAQs
Q: Can I revert to old token details after updating?
A: Yes, but you’ll need to repeat the process and pay another fee.
Q: Does updating metadata affect token holders?
A: No. Holdings remain unchanged; only the displayed name/logo updates.
Q: Why isn’t my new logo showing in wallets?
A: Some wallets cache images. Wait 24 hours or contact their support.
Final Tips
- Consistency Matters: Align metadata with your project’s branding guidelines.
- Avoid Typos: Double-check names/tickers—errors require another fee to fix.
