# Update Token Details

Solscan has switched to using Metaplex Metadata as the newest token standard across the network. 

When you create a token, you want to make sure that the token shows up in user's wallets with a name, ticker, and image. Solana uses the [Token Metadata Program from Metaplex](https://docs.metaplex.com/token-metadata/specification#token-standards) to achieve this.

The metadata account address is derived from the mint account. The metadata field requires a JSON file to be populated with at least the following:

```
{
  "name": "Coin name",
  "symbol": "Symbol",
  "image": "Image link"
}
```

To attach the metadata to the mint account, you can use `CreateMetadataV2`.

**Some background for users and developers:**

The concept of tokens on Solana is not binary anymore as there are different types of tokens on Solana than simply “fungible” and “non-fungible” tokens.

The Metaplex’s token standard field can have the following values: 

* NonFungible: A non-fungible token with a Master Edition. 
* FungibleAsset: A token with metadata that can also have attributes, sometimes called Semi-Fungible. 
* Fungible: A token with simple metadata. 
* NonFungibleEdition: A non-fungible token with an Edition account (printed from a Master edition).

This section serves two goals: Assist developers with the process of creating new Token using Metaplex Token Standard: Also help them update “legacy tokens” metadata with the Metaplex standard.

The JSON schema for the tokens according to the Metaplex Fungible Token Metadata Standard includes the following:
