Update Token Metadata

Token metadata is the public information associated with a token that helps users identify and understand it. When you update token metadata, you can change the token's name, symbol, image (logo), description, and links to its website or social media. This metadata defines the token's brand identity on wallets and explorers across the Solana ecosystem.

Only the wallet that holds the Update Authority can update token metadata. This authority is set at the time of token creation. If you have revoked the update authority, the token metadata becomes permanently locked and cannot be changed. You must connect the wallet with update authority to modify the metadata.

Yes. You can switch to Devnet mode to Update Solana Token Metadata on Devnet and test updates safely for both SPL and Token-2022 tokens. Devnet is separate from Mainnet, so the token must exist on Devnet — Mainnet tokens cannot be used on Devnet. After testing, switch back to Mainnet to update the real token.

When you update token metadata using our tool, you can change the following on-chain information:

• Token Name - Update your token's display name
• Token Symbol - Change the token ticker symbol
• Token Image (Logo) - Upload a new logo or image
• Description - Modify the token's description text
• Social Links - Update Website, Twitter, Telegram, and Discord URLs

No. A token's contract address is its unique identifier on the blockchain and can never be changed. This tool only modifies the descriptive data (metadata) associated with that address, not the address itself.

No. When you update token metadata, it's purely a visual change. Updating token metadata has no effect on the token's supply, holder balances, liquidity, or market price. It only changes how the token is displayed in wallets and on blockchain explorers. The smart contract and tokenomics remain unchanged.

We recommend using a square image (e.g., 512x512 pixels) in PNG, JPG, or SVG format. The image file size should not exceed 5MB. A high-quality logo ensures your token looks professional across the ecosystem.

To update token metadata on DEXArea, there is a platform fee of 0.06 SOL per transaction. You will also need to pay the standard Solana network fee. This one-time cost allows you to update token metadata for your Solana tokens with all the changes you need in a single transaction.

When you update token metadata, the on-chain changes are nearly instant after you approve the transaction. However, it may take some time for third-party services like wallets (Phantom, Solflare) or explorers (Solscan) to refresh their cache and display the updated metadata. This can range from a few minutes to several hours depending on the platform's refresh schedule.

Revoke Tax Config Authority is a Token 2022-only option available when updating metadata. It permanently locks the transfer fee settings on your token. Once revoked, no one can change the fee percentage or max fee — giving holders confidence that tax settings cannot be altered.

Only Token 2022 tokens with the TransferFeeConfig extension show this option. It costs an additional 0.05 SOL per revoke.

Revoke Tax Withdraw Authority is a Token 2022-only option available when updating metadata. It permanently disables the ability to withdraw withheld transfer fees from token accounts. Once revoked, no one can harvest fees collected on transfers.

Only Token 2022 tokens with the TransferFeeConfig extension show this option. Consider claiming existing withheld fees first before revoking. It costs an additional 0.05 SOL per revoke.
