This guide provides step-by-step instructions for deploying SPL tokens on the Solayer network using the devnet RPC endpoint and mainly covering 4 actions.
  1. Create token
  2. Create token account
  3. Mint tokens
  4. Transfer tokens

​
Prerequisites

  • Agave (Solana CLI) installed
  • SPL Token CLI installed
  • Basic understanding of Solana tokens and accounts
  • For Intitial Enviornment Setup refer Hello Solayer guide.

​
Installation and Setup

​
1. Install Required Tools

# Install Agave (Solana CLI) - Latest stable version
sh -c "$(curl -sSfL https://release.anza.xyz/stable/install)"

# Install SPL Token CLI
cargo install spl-token-cli

# Verify installations
solana --version
spl-token --version

​
2. Configure Solana CLI for Solayer Devnet

# Set cluster to Solayer devnet
solana config set --url https://devnet-rpc.solayer.org

# Verify configuration
solana config get

​
Wallet Setup

​
1. Create a New Wallet (if needed)

# Generate new keypair
solana-keygen new --outfile ~/.config/solana/id.json

# Or use existing wallet
solana config set --keypair ~/.config/solana/id.json

​
2. Fund Your Wallet

# Check current balance
solana balance

# Request airdrop (you will have to repeat this process till your wallet has enough balance)
solana airdrop 1

# Verify balance
solana balance
Note: Ensure you have at least 1-2 SOL for token creation and operations.

​
Token Deployment Process

​
1. Create Token Mint

# Create a new token mint
spl-token create-token

# Example output:
# Creating token 7xKXtg2CW87d97TXJSDpbD5jBkheTqA83TZRuJosgHU

​
2. Create Token Account

# Create token account for your wallet
spl-token create-account [MINT_ADDRESS]

# Example:
# spl-token create-account 7xKXtg2CW87d97TXJSDpbD5jBkheTqA83TZRuJosgHU

​
3. Mint Tokens

# Mint tokens to your account
spl-token mint [MINT_ADDRESS] [AMOUNT] [TOKEN_ACCOUNT]

# Example:
# spl-token mint 7xKXtg2CW87d97TXJSDpbD5jBkheTqA83TZRuJosgHU 1000

​
4. Transfer Tokens

# Transfer tokens to another account
spl-token transfer [MINT_ADDRESS] [AMOUNT] [RECIPIENT] --allow-unfunded-recipient --fund-recipient

# Example:
# spl-token transfer 7xKXtg2CW87d97TXJSDpbD5jBkheTqA83TZRuJosgHU 100 9WzDXwBbmkg8ZTbNMqUxvQRAyrZzDsGYdLVL9zYtAWWM --allow-unfunded-recipient --fund-recipient

​
Token Management Commands

​
Check Token Balance

# Check balance of a specific token
spl-token balance [MINT_ADDRESS]

# Example:
# spl-token balance 7xKXtg2CW87d97TXJSDpbD5jBkheTqA83TZRuJosgHU

​
Check Token Supply

# Check total supply of a token
spl-token supply [MINT_ADDRESS]

# Example:
# spl-token supply 7xKXtg2CW87d97TXJSDpbD5jBkheTqA83TZRuJosgHU

​
List All Token Accounts

# List all token accounts for your wallet
spl-token accounts
