This snippet outlines the basic flow for updating a token’s metadata on Solana using the Metaplex program.
import { PublicKey } from "@solana/web3.js";
const mint = new PublicKey("YOUR_TOKEN_MINT");
const newUri = "ipfs://YOUR_NEW_METADATA_JSON_URI";
/*
Flow Overview:
- Identify token mint
- Derive metadata PDA
- Point to updated metadata (new URI)
- Create update instruction
- Sign with update authority
- Send transaction to network
*/Only the update authority can modify metadata, and changes are permanent if immutability is enabled.
Who can update token metadata?
Only the wallet with token update authority can edit metadata. If authority was revoked or metadata was made immutable, updates are blocked.
What happens if metadata is immutable?
Immutable metadata cannot be modified. This is permanent by design and prevents any future metadata edits.
Can I update logo and social links after launch?
Only the update authority can modify the token metadata. Once metadata is made immutable, it can no longer be changed.
Are updates on-chain and visible publicly?
Yes. Metadata references are stored on-chain and linked content is typically hosted via IPFS/URI sources that wallets and explorers read.
Sync your token branding across wallets and explorers with an authority-signed metadata update.
