Updating a Token Logo on Solana: A Step-by-Step Guide

As you’ve successfully deployed your token from Ethereum Mainnet to Solana via Wormhole Portal Bridge, it’s time to update its logo on the Solana blockchain. In this article, we’ll walk you through the process of updating a token logo on Solscan.

Why Update a Token Logo?

Before we dive into the step-by-step guide, let’s discuss why updating a token logo is essential:

• Logo consistency across platforms: Ensure your logo is consistent with other platforms and marketing materials to maintain brand recognition.

• Marketing and branding efforts: Updating the logo can help you promote your project more effectively on social media, blogs, and other online platforms.

Prerequisites

Before updating a token logo on Solscan, ensure:

• You have a Solana wallet with sufficient funds (at least 10 SOL).

• Your Wormhole Portal Bridge account is connected to the same Ethereum Mainnet instance as your Solana wallet.

• The latest version of the Solana CLI and Rust SDK are installed.

Step-by-Step Guide

• Update the Token’s Blockchain

  : Log in to your Solana wallet and switch to the blockchain you want to update (e.g., Mainnet).

• Fetch the Token’s Metadata: Use the solana-metadate command with the -u option to fetch the token’s metadata, which includes its logo data.

solana-metadate -u  --metadata

This will output the token’s metadata, including its logo file path.

• Update the Logo File: Use a command-line tool like curl to update the logo file with your new logo data:

curl -o /path/to/logo.png \

  "

Replace with the actual name of your token and /path/to/logo.png with the desired path for the updated logo.

• Sync the Blockchain: Update the blockchain by sending transactions to the Solana network:

solana-metadate -u  --update --sync

This will update the token’s metadata and synchronize the blockchain.

Verify the Update

After updating the logo, verify that it has been successfully updated on Solscan:

• Log in to your Solana wallet and check the token’s metadata.

• Verify that the new logo file is being displayed.

By following these steps, you’ll be able to update a token logo on Solscan for your project. If you encounter any issues or errors during the process, feel free to ask, and we’ll do our best to assist you.
