solana_kit_token

SPL Token instruction builders, account decoders, codecs, and ergonomic helpers for the Solana Kit Dart SDK. ATA APIs from solana_kit_associated_token_account are re-exported for convenience.

Installation

Install the package directly:

dependencies:
  "solana_kit_token": ^0.8.3

If your app uses several Solana Kit packages together, you can also depend on the umbrella package instead:

dart pub add solana_kit

Inside this monorepo, Dart workspace resolution uses the local package automatically.

Usage

Transfer tokens between accounts using the generated instruction builder:

import 'package:solana_kit_addresses/solana_kit_addresses.dart';
import 'package:solana_kit_token/solana_kit_token.dart';

void main() {
  const source = Address('_token_source_address_placeholder_');
  const destination = Address('token_dest_address_placeholder___');
  const authority = Address('authority_address_placeholder_');

  final ix = getTransferInstruction(
    programAddress: tokenProgramAddress,
    source: source,
    destination: destination,
    authority: authority,
    amount: BigInt.from(1000),
  );
  print(ix.programAddress);
}

Create a token account for a recipient using the re-exported ATA helper:

import 'package:solana_kit_addresses/solana_kit_addresses.dart';
import 'package:solana_kit_token/solana_kit_token.dart';

void main() {
  const payer = Address('payer_address_placeholder____');
  const owner = Address('owner_address_placeholder_____');
  const mint = Address('So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112');

  final ix = getCreateAssociatedTokenAccountInstruction(
    programAddress: associatedTokenProgramAddress,
    payer: payer,
    ata: Address('ata_address_placeholder________'),
    owner: owner,
    mint: mint,
    systemProgram: Address('11111111111111111111111111111111'),
    tokenProgram: tokenProgramAddress,
  );
  print(ix.programAddress);
}

Parse a transfer instruction back from its instruction data:

import 'package:solana_kit_addresses/solana_kit_addresses.dart';
import 'package:solana_kit_token/solana_kit_token.dart';

void main() {
  const source = Address('_token_source_address_placeholder_');
  const destination = Address('token_dest_address_placeholder___');
  const authority = Address('authority_address_placeholder_');

  final ix = getTransferInstruction(
    programAddress: tokenProgramAddress,
    source: source,
    destination: destination,
    authority: authority,
    amount: BigInt.from(1000),
  );

  final parsed = parseTransferInstruction(ix);
  print(parsed.amount);
}

Key APIs

• getTransferInstruction, getMintToInstruction, getApproveInstruction, and other generated builders
• getCreateAssociatedTokenAccountInstruction (re-exported from ATA package)
• parseTransferInstruction, parseMintToInstruction, and other generated parsers
• tokenProgramAddress constant
• getCreateMintInstructionPlan, getMintToAtaInstructionPlan, getTransferToAtaInstructionPlan (ergonomic helpers)

Re-exports

The full solana_kit_associated_token_account API surface is re-exported so callers can access ATA PDA helpers and instruction builders without adding a separate dependency.

Mint creation safety

getCreateMintInstructionPlan keeps account creation and mint initialization in one atomic group. Use the transaction planner to keep both instructions together. If transaction limits require splitting this group, the standard executor rejects it before submitting either transaction, protecting the uninitialized mint.
