The short answer: sometimes
One of the most common questions new creators ask is: “If I make a mistake, can I change my token later?” On Solana, the answer depends on how you set your authorities when creating the token. Let’s explore what can and can’t be changed after launch.
What you can’t change
Once you revoke mint authority and freeze supply, your token’s supply is fixed forever. You also cannot change the token’s mint address. These are permanent and designed to protect holders from hidden changes or rug pulls.
What you can update
If you kept update authority for your token’s metadata, you can make certain edits — like updating the description, replacing the image on IPFS, or fixing typos in the name or symbol. These updates are recorded on-chain, so holders see the changes in wallets like Phantom.
Best practices
- 🔒 Always revoke mint authority if you want your token to be trusted.
- 🖼️ Host metadata on IPFS for permanent, decentralized storage.
- ✅ Double-check your token’s name, symbol, and supply before minting.
- ⚡ Use Solana Token Creator, which makes these settings simple and transparent.
Why it matters
Being able to update metadata can be useful for branding or corrections, but the unchangeable parts of your token — supply and mint — are what give it credibility. Holders know you can’t suddenly inflate supply or alter the fundamentals.
Final thoughts
You can’t rewrite history on-chain, but you can polish details. With Solana Token Creator, you get full control over authorities and metadata hosting, so you decide what’s locked forever and what can be updated later.
