Extensions
What are Token Extensions?
The Token Extensions Program (Token 2022) provides more features through extra instructions referred to as extensions. Extensions are optional features you can add to a token mint or token account. You can find the implementation of these extension instructions in the Token Extensions Program source code.
Each extension adds specific state that's generally initialized during mint or token account creation. When initializing either account, you can enable specific extensions simultaneously for different functionality. Most extensions can't be added after an account is initialized. This is an important consideration when designing your token, as you'll need to plan ahead for which features you want your token to support.
Some extensions are incompatible with each other and you can't enable them
simultaneously on the same token mint or token account. For example, you can't
combine the NonTransferable
extension with the TransferFeeConfig
extension, since they have conflicting behaviors.
The Token Extensions Program defines an
ExtensionType
enum that lists all available extensions you can add to a token mint or token
account. Each variant represents a different extension with unique
functionality.
The ExtensionType
enum is defined as follows:
/// Extensions that can be applied to mints or accounts. Mint extensions must/// only be applied to mint accounts, and account extensions must only be/// applied to token holding accounts.#[repr(u16)]#[cfg_attr(feature = "serde-traits", derive(Serialize, Deserialize))]#[cfg_attr(feature = "serde-traits", serde(rename_all = "camelCase"))]#[derive(Clone, Copy, Debug, PartialEq, TryFromPrimitive, IntoPrimitive)]pub enum ExtensionType {/// Used as padding if the account size would otherwise be 355, same as a/// multisigUninitialized,/// Includes transfer fee rate info and accompanying authorities to withdraw/// and set the feeTransferFeeConfig,/// Includes withheld transfer feesTransferFeeAmount,/// Includes an optional mint close authorityMintCloseAuthority,/// Auditor configuration for confidential transfersConfidentialTransferMint,/// State for confidential transfersConfidentialTransferAccount,/// Specifies the default Account::state for new AccountsDefaultAccountState,/// Indicates that the Account owner authority cannot be changedImmutableOwner,/// Require inbound transfers to have memoMemoTransfer,/// Indicates that the tokens from this mint can't be transferredNonTransferable,/// Tokens accrue interest over time,InterestBearingConfig,/// Locks privileged token operations from happening via CPICpiGuard,/// Includes an optional permanent delegatePermanentDelegate,/// Indicates that the tokens in this account belong to a non-transferable/// mintNonTransferableAccount,/// Mint requires a CPI to a program implementing the "transfer hook"/// interfaceTransferHook,/// Indicates that the tokens in this account belong to a mint with a/// transfer hookTransferHookAccount,/// Includes encrypted withheld fees and the encryption public that they are/// encrypted underConfidentialTransferFeeConfig,/// Includes confidential withheld transfer feesConfidentialTransferFeeAmount,/// Mint contains a pointer to another account (or the same account) that/// holds metadataMetadataPointer,/// Mint contains token-metadataTokenMetadata,/// Mint contains a pointer to another account (or the same account) that/// holds group configurationsGroupPointer,/// Mint contains token group configurationsTokenGroup,/// Mint contains a pointer to another account (or the same account) that/// holds group member configurationsGroupMemberPointer,/// Mint contains token group member configurationsTokenGroupMember,/// Mint allowing the minting and burning of confidential tokensConfidentialMintBurn,/// Tokens whose UI amount is scaled by a given amountScaledUiAmount,/// Tokens where minting / burning / transferring can be pausedPausable,/// Indicates that the account belongs to a pausable mintPausableAccount,/// Test variable-length mint extension#[cfg(test)]VariableLenMintTest = u16::MAX - 2,/// Padding extension used to make an account exactly Multisig::LEN, used/// for testing#[cfg(test)]AccountPaddingTest,/// Padding extension used to make a mint exactly Multisig::LEN, used for/// testing#[cfg(test)]MintPaddingTest,}
Each extension adds specialized functionality by including extra state to a mint
or token account. All extension specific state is stored in the
tlv_data
field, which follows the base account data type. You must further deserialize
the tlv_data
(containing extension state) according to the specific extension
types enabled for that account.
/// Encapsulates immutable base state data (mint or account) with possible/// extensions, where the base state is Pod for zero-copy serde.#[derive(Debug, PartialEq)]pub struct PodStateWithExtensions<'data, S: BaseState + Pod> {/// Unpacked base datapub base: &'data S,/// Slice of data containing all TLV data, deserialized on demandtlv_data: &'data [u8],}
