What is Solana Token metadata?
Before we jump into the step-by-step, there are a couple of important points to cover.
A token’s metadata is the additional information linked to that token, giving details about its traits, properties, and origin. SPL Token metadata includes data such as the name, symbol, description, and image, which can represent the digital asset the token is tied to.
To update the Solana Token metadata, you must use the wallet that created the token (Authority).
Can you change the metadata of a token SPL?
As long as the token SPL is mutable, yes, you can change its metadata at any time. Still, you should consider how it affects the project’s credibility and whether it could trigger any legal issues. If you want to change it and there are no investors involved, you can update the meta data without any problem at any time.
To strengthen your token’s guarantees and build as much trust as possible, we recommend making the Solana token immutable.
