How to Get a Token Mint

In order to get the current supply, authority, or decimals a token has, you will need to get the account info for the token mint.

Fetch Mint Account

import { Address, createSolanaRpc } from "@solana/kit";
import { fetchMint } from "@solana-program/token-2022";

const rpc = createSolanaRpc("https://api.mainnet.solana.com");
const address = "2b1kV6DkPAnxd5ixfnxCpjxmKwqjjaYmCZfHsFu24GXo" as Address;

const mint = await fetchMint(rpc, address);
console.log(mint);

const mint = await fetchMint(rpc, address);

Fetch Metaplex Token Metadata

For tokens using the Metaplex Token Metadata Program, you can fetch the metadata account to get the token's name, symbol, and URI.

Kit

import { address, createSolanaRpc } from "@solana/kit";
import { fetchMetadataFromSeeds } from "@metaplex-foundation/mpl-token-metadata-kit";

const rpc = createSolanaRpc("https://api.mainnet.solana.com");

// Example: USDC mint address
const mintAddress = address("EPjFWdd5AufqSSqeM2qN1xzybapC8G4wEGGkZwyTDt1v");

// Fetch metadata directly using the mint address
const metadata = await fetchMetadataFromSeeds(rpc, { mint: mintAddress });

console.log("Token Name:", metadata.data.name);
console.log("Token Symbol:", metadata.data.symbol);
console.log("Metadata URI:", metadata.data.uri);
console.log("Update Authority:", metadata.data.updateAuthority);

Not all tokens have Metaplex metadata. Tokens created with Token Extensions (Token-2022) may use the different functionality instead. See Token Extensions Metadata for more information.
