Solana SPL Token Automation

Project Overview

This project was developed as the practical final exam for the Masterz Blockchain Bootcamp. The objective was to build a series of TypeScript scripts to interact programmatically with the Solana Blockchain, specifically to manage the entire lifecycle of a custom SPL (Solana Program Library) Token.

Instead of using a UI, the project demonstrates how to perform on-chain actions directly via code, managing keypairs, transactions, and token minting authorities.

⚠️ Security Disclaimer: > The repository includes visible wallet files (wallet.json) and public/private keys. These are disposable “burner wallets” generated strictly for the Solana Devnet (Testnet). > In a production Mainnet environment, private keys must never be exposed or committed to version control. They are visible here solely for educational verification of the exam process.

Operational Workflow

The project consists of sequential scripts that handle specific on-chain operations:

1. Wallet Generation & Funding

• Keygen: Algorithmically generates a new Solana Keypair (Public/Private key).
• Airdrop: Connects to the Solana Devnet RPC and requests an airdrop of SOL (native token) to fund the transaction fees (gas) for the subsequent steps.

2. Token Initialization

• SPL Init: Interacts with the Token Program to initialize a new Mint Account. This acts as the factory for the new custom token.
• Decimals: Configured the token logic (e.g., decimal precision) directly on-chain.

3. Minting & Distribution

• ATA Creation: Creating an Associated Token Account (ATA) linked to the wallet to hold the specific new token.
• Minting: executing the mintTo instruction to generate 1000 units of the token into the creator’s wallet.
• Transfer: Sending a portion of the minted tokens to a secondary “brand new” wallet to verify transfer logic and blockchain finality.
