SPL Tokens

Native token standard with rich functionality

Developer-Friendly

Excellent tooling and documentation

Setting Up Solana

Install Solana CLI

# Install Solana CLI tools
sh -c "$(curl -sSfL https://release.solana.com/stable/install)"

# Verify installation
solana --version

# Set cluster (mainnet-beta, devnet, or testnet)
solana config set --url https://api.mainnet-beta.solana.com

Create Solana Wallet

# Generate new keypair
solana-keygen new --outfile ~/.config/solana/bacon-wallet.json

# Check wallet address
solana address

# Check balance
solana balance

# Airdrop SOL (devnet/testnet only)
solana airdrop 2

Install SPL Token CLI

# Install SPL Token program
cargo install spl-token-cli

# Verify installation
spl-token --version

Creating BACON SPL Token

1

Create Token

Create your BACON SPL token on Solana:

# Create token with 8 decimals
spl-token create-token --decimals 8

# Save the token address (mint address)
# Example: 7vfCXTUXx5WJV5JADk17DUJ4ksgau7utNKj4b963voxs

# Create token account
spl-token create-account TOKEN_ADDRESS

# Check token accounts
spl-token accounts
2

Mint Initial Supply

Mint BACON tokens to your treasury:

# Mint 21 million BACON tokens
spl-token mint TOKEN_ADDRESS 21000000

# Check supply
spl-token supply TOKEN_ADDRESS

# Check balance
spl-token balance TOKEN_ADDRESS
3

Configure Token Metadata

Add metadata for your token (name, symbol, logo):

const { createMetadata } = require('@metaplex-foundation/mpl-token-metadata');

await createMetadata({
  mint: tokenAddress,
  metadata: {
    name: 'BACON',
    symbol: 'BACON',
    uri: 'https://blt-bacon.github.io/metadata. json',
    sellerFeeBasisPoints: 0,
    creators: null,
    collection: null,
    uses: null
  }
});

Initialize BACON SDK

Connect BACON SDK to Solana:

const BaconSDK = require('@blt-bacon/sdk');

const bacon = new BaconSDK({
  blockchain: 'solana',
  network: 'mainnet-beta',
  cluster: 'https://api.mainnet-beta.solana.com',
  wallet: {
    privateKey: process.env.SOLANA_PRIVATE_KEY,
    publicKey: process.env.SOLANA_PUBLIC_KEY
  },
  token: {
    mint: process.env.SPL_TOKEN_MINT,
    decimals: 8
  }
});

Distributing Rewards

Single Transfer

// Transfer BACON tokens to contributor
await bacon.transfer({
  to: 'ContributorSolanaAddress',
  amount: 100,
  memo: 'Reward for PR #123'
});

// Using SPL Token CLI
spl-token transfer TOKEN_ADDRESS 100 RECIPIENT_ADDRESS

Batch Transfers

// Batch transfer to multiple recipients
await bacon.batchTransfer({
  transfers: [
    { to: 'Address1', amount: 50, memo: 'Issue #101' },
    { to: 'Address2', amount: 75, memo: 'PR #102' },
    { to: 'Address3', amount: 100, memo: 'Bug fix #103' }
  ]
});

// This creates one transaction with multiple instructions
// Much more efficient than individual transfers

Automated Rewards via Webhooks

const express = require('express');
const app = express();

app.post('/webhook/github', async (req, res) => {
  const event = req.body;
  
  if (event.action === 'opened' && event.issue) {
    // Reward issue reporter
    await bacon.reward({
      user: event.issue.user.login,
      amount: 10,
      reason: `Issue #${event.issue.number}`
    });
  }
  
  if (event.action === 'closed' && event.pull_request?.merged) {
    // Reward PR merger
    await bacon.reward({
      user: event.pull_request.user.login,
      amount: 50,
      reason: `PR #${event.pull_request.number}`
    });
  }
  
  res.sendStatus(200);
});
