# Metadata

## What You Can Edit After Launch

Once your coin is live, you can still update certain metadata through the platform.

***

## Editable Fields

| Field                    | Editable?            |
| ------------------------ | -------------------- |
| Coin name                | ✅ Yes                |
| Coin image / asset       | ✅ Yes                |
| X (Twitter) profile link | ✅ Yes                |
| Telegram link            | ✅ Yes                |
| Banner image             | ✅ Yes                |
| **Ticker**               | ❌ **No - permanent** |

## Important: On-Chain Delay

> ⚠️ **Metadata changes can take up to 7 days** to reflect on-chain and to be captured by trading terminals and wallets like **Phantom, Axiom**, and others.

This delay is due to how on-chain metadata propagation works across the Solana ecosystem. Third-party platforms cache token metadata and refresh on their own schedules.

***

## Best Practices

* **Avoid unnecessary changes** - Unless it's absolutely critical, don't change metadata after deployment to prevent confusion
* **Get it right from the start** - Take time to finalize your coin's name, image, and links before launching
* **Update socials early** - If you haven't added Telegram or X links yet, add them sooner rather than later so the community can find you
