Create a Token Mint

What's a Mint Account?

A mint account is an account type in Solana's Token Programs that uniquely represents a token on the network and stores global metadata about the token.

Mint Account Type
/// Mint data.
#[repr(C)]
#[derive(Clone, Copy, Debug, Default, PartialEq)]
pub struct Mint {
/// Optional authority used to mint new tokens. The mint authority may only
/// be provided during mint creation. If no mint authority is present
/// then the mint has a fixed supply and no further tokens may be
/// minted.
pub mint_authority: COption<Pubkey>,
/// Total supply of tokens.
pub supply: u64,
/// Number of base 10 digits to the right of the decimal place.
pub decimals: u8,
/// Is `true` if this structure has been initialized
pub is_initialized: bool,
/// Optional authority to freeze token accounts.
pub freeze_authority: COption<Pubkey>,
}

Note that both the Token Program and Token Extension Program share the same base implementation for the Mint account.

Every token on Solana exists as a mint account where the address of the mint account is its unique identifier on the network.

For example, the USD Coin (USDC) digital dollar on Solana has the mint address EPjFWdd5AufqSSqeM2qN1xzybapC8G4wEGGkZwyTDt1v. This mint address serves as USD Coin's unique identifier across the entire Solana ecosystem. You can view details about this mint account on Solana Explorer.

How to Create a Mint Account

To create a Mint Account, invoke the InitializeMint instruction. You can find implementations of this instruction here.

The transaction to create a mint account needs two instructions:

  1. Invoke the System Program to create and allocate space for a mint account and transfer ownership to the Token Program.
  2. Invoke the Token Program to initialize the mint account data.
