Token

What do I need to get started with SPL-Tokens?

Every time you interact with tokens on Solana, you are actually interacting with the Solana Program Library Token, or SPL-Token standard. The SPL-Token standard requires a specific library to be used, which you can find below based on your language.

"@solana/spl-token": "^0.2.0"

How to create a new Token

Creating tokens is done by creating what is called a "mint account". This mint account is later used to mint tokens to a user's token account.

How to get a token mint

In order to get the current supply, authority, or decimals a token has, you will need to get the account info for the token mint.

How to create a token account

A token account is required for a user to hold tokens.

A user will have at least one token account for every type of token they own.

Associated Token Accounts are deterministicly created accounts for every keypair. ATAs are the recommended method of managing token accounts.

Every token account has information on the token such as the owner, mint, amount(balance), and decimals.

TIP

A token account can only hold one kind of mint. When you specify a token account, you also specific a mint too.

How to close token accounts

You can close a token account if you don't want to use it anymore. There are two situations:

Wrapped SOL - Closing converts Wrapped SOL to SOL
Other Tokens - You can close it only if token account's balance is 0.

How to set authority on token accounts or mints

You can set/update authority. There are 4 types:

MintTokens (mint account)
FreezeAccount (mint account)
AccountOwner (token account)
CloseAccount (token account)

How to manage wrapped SOL

Wrapped SOL just like any other token mint. The difference is using syncNative and creating token accounts specifically on the NATIVE_MINT address.

Create Token Account

Like Create Token Account but replace mint with NATIVE_MINT

import { NATIVE_MINT } from "@solana/spl-token";

Add Balance

There are two ways to add balance for Wrapped SOL
