Mint Tokens
How to Mint Tokens
Minting tokens refers to the process of creating new units of a token by
invoking the
MintTo
instruction on a token program. Only the address specified as the mint authority
on the mint account can mint new tokens. The instruction also requires the
existence of a token account as the destination of the minted tokens.
The Token Program and Token Extension Program share similar implementations to achieve the same functionality.
