Spl Token — Solana Token GuidesSPL Token is the standard for fungible tokens on Solana, implemented by the SPL Token Program. Unlike Ethereum's ERC-20 (where every token deploys its own contract bytecode), every SPL token shares one program and stores its state in three account types: the mint account, individual token accounts, and Associated Token Accounts (ATAs). The articles below walk through what each account does, how the three authority fields (mint, freeze, update) shape trust signals, and what changes when you move to Token-2022 with its extension system. If you're searching for SPL token mechanics, this is the operator-level reference — not the abstract docs.
