Choosing Your Token Style

SPL Tokens

Create SPL Token
  • Definition: SPL Tokens are the Solana blockchain's equivalent of ERC-20 tokens on Ethereum. They are the standard token type for fungible and non-fungible assets on Solana.

  • Usage: Used for a wide range of purposes including DeFi applications, governance, and as utility tokens in various Solana-based projects.

  • Creation and Management: Created and managed using the Solana Program Library (SPL), which provides a standardized way to issue and handle these tokens.

  • Efficiency: Benefit from Solana's high throughput and low transaction fees.

  • Interoperability: Easily integrated into Solana's ecosystem, including wallets, exchanges, and other DeFi applications.

Token2022 (SuperTokens)

Support For Token2022 in our no-code generator is coming shortly.

  • Definition: Token2022 refers to a newer standard for tokens on Solana, proposed as an enhancement or extension of the original SPL token standard.

  • Usage: Aimed at addressing specific limitations or requirements that emerged with the evolving blockchain landscape.

  • Advanced Features: Includes additional functionalities and improvements over the original SPL standard, such as more efficient token transfers, better cross-program invocations, and enhanced security features.

Key Differences

  • Standard Evolution: Token2022 is a progression or evolution of the original SPL token standard, potentially offering advanced features and improvements.

  • Adoption and Integration: SPL tokens are widely used and supported in the Solana ecosystem, whereas Token2022, being newer, may have limited adoption initially.

  • Feature Set: Token2022 is expected to include enhanced features and optimizations that are not present in the original SPL token standard.
