Light Token SDK

The base library to use Light Token Accounts, and Light Mints.

Light Token Accounts

• are on Solana devnet.
• are Solana accounts.
• are functionally equivalent to SPL token accounts.
• can hold tokens of Light, SPL and Token 2022 mints.
• cost 17,288 lamports to create with 24 hours rent.
• are rentfree:
  • rent exemption is sponsored by the token program.
  • rent is 388 lamports per rent epoch (1.5 hours).
  • once the account's lamports balance is insufficient, it is auto-compressed to a compressed token account.
  • the accounts state is cryptographically preserved on the Solana ledger.
  • compressed tokens can be loaded to a Light Token account.
  • configurable lamports per write (eg transfer) keep the Light Token account perpetually funded when used. So you don't have to worry about funding rent.
  • users load a compressed account into a light account in-flight when using the account again.

Light Mints

• are on Solana devnet.
• are Compressed accounts.
• support TokenMetadata.
• have the same rent-config as light token accounts

For full program examples, see the Light Token Examples.
