Extension Guide

The Token-2022 program provides additional functionality on mints and token accounts through an extension model.

This guide explains all of the available extensions, along with some examples of how to use them.

Please see the Token-2022 Introduction more general information about Token-2022 and the concept of extensions.

Setup

See the Token Setup Guide to install the client utilities. Token-2022 shares the same CLI and NPM packages for maximal compatibility.

All JS examples are adapted from the tests, and available in full at the Token JS examples.

Extensions

Mint Close Authority

The Token program allows owners to close token accounts, but it is impossible to close mint accounts. In Token-2022, it is possible to close mints by initializing the MintCloseAuthority extension before initializing the mint.

Example: Initializing a mint with mint close authority

$ spl-token --program-id TokenzQdBNbLqP5VEhdkAS6EPFLC1PHnBqCXEpPxuEb create-token --enable-close
Creating token C47NXhUTVEisCfX7s16KrxYyimnui7HpUXZecE2TmLdB under program TokenzQdBNbLqP5VEhdkAS6EPFLC1PHnBqCXEpPxuEb

import {
    closeAccount,
    createInitializeMintInstruction,
    createInitializeMintCloseAuthorityInstruction,
    getMintLen,
    ExtensionType,
    TOKEN_2022_PROGRAM_ID,
} from '@solana/spl-token';
import {
    clusterApiUrl,
    sendAndConfirmTransaction,
    Connection,
    Keypair,
    SystemProgram,
    Transaction,
    LAMPORTS_PER_SOL,
} from '@solana/web3.js';

(async () => {
    const payer = Keypair.generate();

    const mintKeypair = Keypair.generate();
    const mint = mintKeypair.publicKey;
    const mintAuthority = Keypair.generate();
    const freezeAuthority = Keypair.generate();
    const closeAuthority = Keypair.generate();

    const connection = new Connection(clusterApiUrl('devnet'), 'confirmed');

    const airdropSignature = await connection.requestAirdrop(payer.publicKey, 2 * LAMPORTS_PER_SOL);
    await connection.confirmTransaction({ signature: airdropSignature, ...(await connection.getLatestBlockhash()) });

    const extensions = [ExtensionType.MintCloseAuthority];
    const mintLen = getMintLen(extensions);
    const lamports = await connection.getMinimumBalanceForRentExemption(mintLen);

    const transaction = new Transaction().add(
        SystemProgram.createAccount({
            fromPubkey: payer.publicKey,
            newAccountPubkey: mint,
            space: mintLen,
            lamports,
            programId: TOKEN_2022_PROGRAM_ID,
        }),
        createInitializeMintCloseAuthorityInstruction(mint, closeAuthority.publicKey, TOKEN_2022_PROGRAM_ID),
        createInitializeMintInstruction(
            mint,
            9,
            mintAuthority.publicKey,
            freezeAuthority.publicKey,
            TOKEN_2022_PROGRAM_ID
        )
    );
    await sendAndConfirmTransaction(connection, transaction, [payer, mintKeypair], undefined);
})();

Example: Closing a mint

With the MintCloseAuthority extension on the mint and a valid authority, it's possible to close the mint account and reclaim the lamports on the mint account. Note: The supply on the mint must be 0.

$ spl-token close-mint C47NXhUTVEisCfX7s16KrxYyimnui7HpUXZecE2TmLdB 
Signature: 5nidwS9fJGJGdmaQjcwvNGVtk2ba5Zyu9ZLubjUKSsaAyzLUYvB6LK5RfUA767veBr45x7R1WW9N7WkYZ3Rqsb5B

await closeAccount(connection, payer, mint, payer.publicKey, closeAuthority, [], undefined, TOKEN_2022_PROGRAM_ID);

Transfer Fees

In the Token program, it is impossible to assess a fee on every transfer. The existing systems typically involve freezing user accounts, and forcing them to go through a third party to unfreeze, transfer, and refreeze the accounts.

With Token-2022, it's possible to configure a transfer fee on a mint so that fees are assessed at the protocol level. On every transfer, some amount is withheld on the recipient account, untouchable by the recipient. These tokens can be withheld by a separate authority on the mint.

Important note: Transferring tokens with a transfer fee requires using transfer_checked or transfer_checked_with_fee instead of transfer. Otherwise, the transfer will fail.

Example: Creating a mint with a transfer fee

Transfer fee configurations contain a few important fields:

Fee in basis points: fee assessed on every transfer, as basis points of the transfer amount. For example, with 50 basis points, a transfer of 1,000 tokens yields 5 tokens
Maximum fee: cap on transfer fees. With a maximum fee of 5,000 tokens, even a transfer of 10,000,000,000,000 tokens only yields 5,000 tokens
Transfer fee authority: entity that can modify the fees
Withdraw withheld authority: entity that can move tokens withheld on the mint or token accounts

Let's create a mint with 50 basis point transfer fee, and a maximum fee of 5,000 tokens.

$ spl-token --program-id TokenzQdBNbLqP5VEhdkAS6EPFLC1PHnBqCXEpPxuEb create-token --transfer-fee 50 5000

    );
    await sendAndConfirmTransaction(connection, mintTransaction, [payer, mintKeypair], undefined);
})();

Example: Transferring tokens with the fee checked

As part of the extension, there is a new transfer_checked_with_fee instruction, which accepts the expected fee. The transfer only succeeds if the fee is correctly calculated, in order to avoid any surprises during the transfer.

Example: Find accounts with withheld tokens

As users transfer their tokens, transfer fees accumulate in the various recipient accounts. The withdraw withheld authority, configured at initialization, can move these tokens wherever they wish using withdraw_withheld_tokens_from_accounts or harvest_withheld_tokens_to_mint.

Before doing that, however, they must find which accounts have withheld tokens by iterating over all accounts for the mint.

CLI support coming soon!

    const allAccounts = await connection.getProgramAccounts(TOKEN_2022_PROGRAM_ID, {
        commitment: 'confirmed',
        filters: [
            {
                memcmp: {
                    offset: 0,
                    bytes: mint.toString(),
                },
            },
        ],
    });
    const accountsToWithdrawFrom = [];
    for (const accountInfo of allAccounts) {
        const account = unpackAccount(accountInfo.account, accountInfo.pubkey, TOKEN_2022_PROGRAM_ID);
        const transferFeeAmount = getTransferFeeAmount(account);
        if (transferFeeAmount !== null && transferFeeAmount.withheldAmount > BigInt(0)) {
            accountsToWithdrawFrom.push(accountInfo.pubkey);
        }
    }

Example: Withdraw withheld tokens from accounts

With the accounts found, the withheld withdraw authority may move the withheld tokens.

$ spl-token withdraw-withheld-tokens 7UKuG4W68hW9eGrDms6BenRf8DCEHKGN49xewtWyB5cx 5wY8fiMZG5wGbQmtzKgqqEEp4vsCMJZ53RXEagUUWhEr

    await withdrawWithheldTokensFromAccounts(
        connection,
        payer,
        mint,
        destinationAccount,
        withdrawWithheldAuthority,
        [],
        [destinationAccount],
        undefined,
        TOKEN_2022_PROGRAM_ID
    );

Note: The design of pooling transfer fees at the recipient account is meant to maximize parallelization of transactions. Otherwise, one configured fee recipient account would be write-locked between parallel transfers, decreasing throughput of the protocol.

Example: Harvest withheld tokens to mint

Users may want to close a token account with withheld transfer fees, but it is impossible to close an account that holds any tokens, including withheld ones.

To clear out their account of withheld tokens, they can use the permissionless harvest_withheld_tokens_to_mint instruction.

The harvest instruction isn't explicitly exposed since it typically isn't needed. It is required before closing an account, however, so we can show the harvest behavior by closing the account:

$ spl-token close --address 5wY8fiMZG5wGbQmtzKgqqEEp4vsCMJZ53RXEagUUWhEr

    await harvestWithheldTokensToMint(connection, payer, mint, [destinationAccount], undefined, TOKEN_2022_PROGRAM_ID);

Example: Withdraw withheld tokens from mint

As users move the withheld tokens to the mint, the withdraw authority may choose to move those tokens from the mint to any other account.

$ spl-token withdraw-withheld-tokens --include-mint 7UKuG4W68hW9eGrDms6BenRf8DCEHKGN49xewtWyB5cx

    await withdrawWithheldTokensFromMint(
        connection,
        payer,
        mint,

        withdrawWithheldAuthority,
        [],
        undefined,
        TOKEN_2022_PROGRAM_ID
    );

Default Account State

A mint creator may want to restrict who can use their token. There are many heavy-handed approaches to this problem, most of which include going through a centralized service at the beginning. Even through a centralized service, however, it's possible for anyone to create a new token account and transfer the tokens around.

To simplify the restriction, a mint creator may use the DefaultAccountState extension, which can force all new token accounts to be frozen. This way, users must eventually interact with some service to unfreeze their account and use tokens.

Example: Creating a mint with default frozen accounts

Example: Updating default state

Over time, if the mint creator decides to relax this restriction, the freeze authority may sign an update_default_account_state instruction to make all accounts unfrozen by default.

        [],
        undefined,
        TOKEN_2022_PROGRAM_ID
    );

Immutable Owner

Token account owners may reassign ownership to any other address. This is useful in many situations, but it can also create security vulnerabilities.

For example, the addresses for Associated Token Accounts are derived based on the owner and the mint, making it easy to find the "right" token account for an owner. If the account owner has reassigned ownership of their associated token account, then applications may derive the address for that account and use it, not knowing that it does not belong to the owner anymore.

To avoid this issue, Token-2022 includes the ImmutableOwner extension, which makes it impossible to reassign ownership of an account. The Associated Token Account program always uses this extension when creating accounts.

    );
    await sendAndConfirmTransaction(connection, transaction, [payer, accountKeypair], undefined);

Example: Creating an associated token account with immutable ownership

All associated token accounts have the immutable owner extension included, so it's extremely easy to use the extension.

$ spl-token create-account CZxztd7SEZWxg6B9PH5xa7QwKpMCpWBJiTLftw1o3qyV
Creating account 4nvfLgYMERdNbbf1pADUSp44XukAyjeWWXCMkM1gMqC4

Signature: w4TRYDdCpTfmQh96E4UNgFFeiAHphWNaeYrJTu6bGyuPMokJrKFR33Ntj3iNQ5QQuFqom2CaYkhXiX9sBpWEW23

The CLI will tell us that it's unnecessary to specify the --immutable argument if it's provided:

$ spl-token create-account CZxztd7SEZWxg6B9PH5xa7QwKpMCpWBJiTLftw1o3qyV --immutable
Creating account 4nvfLgYMERdNbbf1pADUSp44XukAyjeWWXCMkM1gMqC4
Note: --immutable specified, but Token-2022 ATAs are always immutable, ignoring

    const associatedAccount = await createAccount(
        connection,
        payer,
        mint,
        owner.publicKey,
        undefined,
        undefined,
        TOKEN_2022_PROGRAM_ID
    );

Non-Transferable Tokens

To accompany immutably owned token accounts, the NonTransferable mint extension allows for "soul-bound" tokens that cannot be moved to any other entity. For example, this extension is perfect for achievements that can only belong to one person or account.

This extension is very similar to issuing a token and then freezing the account, but allows the owner to burn and close the account if they want.

Required Memo on Transfer

Traditional banking systems typically require a memo to accompany all transfers. The Token-2022 program contains an extension to satisfy this requirement.

By enabling required memo transfers on your token account, the program enforces that all incoming transfers must have an accompanying memo instruction right before the transfer instruction.

Note: This also works in CPI contexts, as long as a CPI is performed to log the memo before invoking the transfer.

Example: Create account with required memo transfers

    await enableRequiredMemoTransfers(connection, payer, destination, owner, [], undefined, TOKEN_2022_PROGRAM_ID);

Reallocate

In the previous example, astute readers of the JavaScript code may have noticed that the EnableRequiredMemoTransfers instruction came after InitializeAccount, which means that this extension can be enabled after the account is already created.

In order to actually add this extension after the account is created, however, you may need to reallocate more space in the account for the additional extension bytes.

The Reallocate instruction allows an owner to reallocate their token account to fit room for more extensions.

Example: Reallocating existing account to enable required memo transfers

The CLI reallocs automatically, so if you use enable-required-transfer-memos with an account that does not have enough space, it will add the Reallocate instruction.

Interest-Bearing Tokens

Tokens that constantly grow or decrease in value have many uses in the real world. The most well known example is a bond.

With Token, this has only been possible through proxy contracts that require regular rebase or update operations.

With the Token-2022 extension model, however, we have the possibility to change how the UI amount of tokens are represented. Using the InterestBearingMint extension and the amount_to_ui_amount instruction, you can set an interest rate on your token and fetch its amount with interest at any time.

Interest is continuously compounded based on the timestamp in the network. Due to drift that may occur in the network timestamp, the accumulated interest could be lower than the expected value. Thankfully, this is rare.

Note: No new tokens are ever created, the UI amount returns the amount of tokens plus all interest the tokens have accumulated. The feature is entirely cosmetic.

Permanent Delegate

With Token-2022, it's possible to specify a permanent account delegate for a mint. This authority has unlimited delegate privileges over any account for that mint, meaning that it can burn or transfer any amount of tokens.

While this feature certainly has room for abuse, it has many important real-world use cases.

In some jurisdictions, a stablecoin issuer must be able to seize assets from sanctioned entities. Through the permanent delegate, the stablecoin issuer can transfer or burn tokens from accounts owned by sanctioned entities.

It's also possible to implement a Harberger Tax on an NFT, whereby an auction program has permanent delegate authority for the token. After a sale, the permanent delegate can move the NFT from the owner to the buyer if the previous owner doesn't pay the tax.

Example: Create a mint with a permanent delegate

Transfer Hook

Motivation

Token creators may need more control over how their token is transferred. The most prominent use case revolves around NFT royalties. Whenever a token is moved, the creator should be entitled to royalties, but due to the design of the current token program, it's impossible to stop a transfer at the protocol level.

Current solutions typically resort to perpetually freezing tokens, which requires a whole proxy layer to interact with the token. Wallets and marketplaces need to be aware of the proxy layer in order to properly use the token.

Worse still, different royalty systems have different proxy layers for using their token. All in all, these systems harm composability and make development harder.

Solution

To improve the situation, Token-2022 introduces the concept of the transfer-hook interface and extension. A token creator must develop and deploy a program that implements the interface and then configure their token mint to use their program.

During transfer, Token-2022 calls into the program with the accounts specified at a well-defined program-derived address for that mint and program id. This call happens after all other transfer logic, so the accounts reflect the end state of the transfer.

When interacting with a transfer-hook program, it's possible to send an instruction - such as Execute (transfer) - to the program with only the accounts required for the Transfer instruction, and any extra accounts that the program may require are automatically resolved on-chain! This process is explained in detail in many of the linked README files below under Resources.

Resources

The interface description and structs exist at spl-transfer-hook-interface, along with a sample minimal program implementation. You can find detailed instructions on how to implement this interface for an on-chain program or interact with a program that implements transfer-hook in the repository's README.

The spl-transfer-hook-interface library provides offchain and onchain helpers for resolving the additional accounts required. See invoke.rs for usage on-chain, and offchain.rs for fetching the additional required account metas with any async off-chain client like BanksClient or RpcClient.

A usable example program exists at spl-transfer-hook-example. Token-2022 uses this example program in tests to ensure that it properly uses the transfer hook interface.

The example program and the interface are powered by the spl-tlv-account-resolution library, which is explained in detail in the repository's README

Metadata Pointer

With the potential proliferation of multiple metadata programs, a mint can have multiple different accounts all claiming to describe the mint.

To make it easy for clients to distinguish, the metadata pointer extension allows a token creator to designate an address that describes the canonical metadata. As you'll see in the "Metadata" section, this address can be the mint itself!

To avoid phony mints claiming to be stablecoins, however, a client must check that the mint and the metadata both point to each other.

Example: Create a mint with a metadata pointer to an external account

$ spl-token --program-id TokenzQdBNbLqP5VEhdkAS6EPFLC1PHnBqCXEpPxuEb create-token --metadata-address 7N4HggYEJAtCLJdnHGCtFqfxcB5rhQCsQTze3ftYstVj

Metadata

To facilitate token-metadata usage, Token-2022 allows a mint creator to include their token's metadata directly in the mint account.

Token-2022 implements all of the instructions from the spl-token-metadata-interface.

The metadata extension should work directly with the metadata-pointer extension. During mint creation, you should also add the metadata-pointer extension, pointed at the mint itself.

The tools do this for you automatically.

Example: Create a mint with metadata

$ spl-token --program-id TokenzQdBNbLqP5VEhdkAS6EPFLC1PHnBqCXEpPxuEb create-token --enable-metadata

To initialize metadata inside the mint, please run `spl-token initialize-metadata 5K8RVdjpY3CHujyKjQ7RkyiCJqTG8Kba9krNfpZnmvpS <YOUR_TOKEN_NAME> <YOUR_TOKEN_SYMBOL> <YOUR_TOKEN_URI>`, and sign with the mint authority
