SPL Token-22 Guide 🚀

This guide outlines the process for creating and managing SPL Token-2022 on the Solana blockchain, focusing on the Devnet for testing purposes. Follow these steps to mint your custom SPL tokens, aptly named "Token-22", and connect your paper wallet to the Phantom Wallet for a seamless Solana blockchain experience.

Prerequisites 📋

Before starting, ensure you have installed the following tools:

• Solana CLI: Installation Guide 🛠️
• Node.js: Download Page 📥
• Mpl Token Metadata: Install via npm with npm install @metaplex-foundation/mpl-token-metadata
• SPL Token CLI: Follow the instructions in the Solana documentation or install it via npm with npm install -g @solana/spl-token
• ts-node: Install via npm with npm install -g ts-node

Getting Started 🌟

Step 1: Generate a Key Pair 🔑

Generate a key pair that starts with a specific prefix (e.g., "KVN"). This command searches for a key pair that meets the criteria, which can take some time.

solana-keygen grind --starts-with KVN:1

Rename your key pair file to KVN__________.json for easier reference.

Step 1(a): Generate a Mint Key Pair 🔑

Generate a key pair that starts with a specific prefix (e.g., "KV"). This command searches for a key pair that meets the criteria, which can take some time.

solana-keygen grind --starts-with KV:1

Step 2: Configure Solana CLI ⚙️

Set the Solana CLI to use your newly generated key pair.

solana config set --keypair /path/to/KVN__________.json

Set to Devnet

You Can Change it to devnet,testnet,mainnet-beta. (Devnet in our Case)

solana config set --url https://api.devnet.solana.com

Select Your Keypair For Airdrop

solana config set -ud -k .\KVN______________.json

Step 3: Request Airdrop 💸

Request an airdrop of 2 SOL to your account on the Devnet.

solana airdrop 2

Step 4: Create Your SPL Token 🪙

Create your SPL token using one of the two methods below:

Option 1: With Key Pair File

spl-token create-token -p TokenzQdBNbLqP5VEhdkAS6EPFLC1PHnBqCXEpPxuEb /path/to/KVNmDjP8vhUTCk6toCtLu5gXDurV5CJfX6JGgbrBzsJ.json

Option 2: Recommended

spl-token create-token -p TokenzQdBNbLqP5VEhdkAS6EPFLC1PHnBqCXEpPxuEb

Step 5: Run Your TypeScript File 📜

After adjusting addresses and keys in spl_token22.ts, execute it:

ts-node ./spl_token22.ts

Step 6: Mint Tokens 🔨

Create a token account and mint your desired amount of tokens you wish. Replace with your token's address:

spl-token create-account <token_address>
spl-token mint <token_address> 10000000

Step 7: Connect to Phantom Wallet 👻

Convert the private key from your JSON file for Phantom Wallet import:

more /path/to/KVN__________.json

Copy the output, which is an array of numbers, to import into Phantom Wallet:

1. Open Phantom Wallet and switch to Testnet mode in Settings.
2. Choose to Import Private Key.
3. Paste the key array, name the account, and proceed, ignore any format warning.
