Solana Blockchain Development Tutorials, Guides & Insights

To interact with your newly deployed program, you can write a simple client script in Rust or JavaScript using Solana's web3.js library. Here's an example using JavaScript:

const {
    Connection,
    PublicKey,
    clusterApiUrl,
    Keypair,
    TransactionInstruction,
    sendAndConfirmTransaction,
} = require('@solana/web3.js');
const { Token, TOKEN_PROGRAM_ID } = require('@solana/spl-token');

// Add your connection, payer, and mint keypair
const connection = new Connection(clusterApiUrl('devnet'), 'confirmed');
const payer = Keypair.fromSecretKey(...); // Replace with your payer keypair
const mint = new PublicKey('Your Mint Public Key');

async function mintToken() {
    const tokenAccount = await Token.getAssociatedTokenAddress(
        mint,
        payer.publicKey
    );

    const instruction = new TransactionInstruction({
        keys: [{ pubkey: tokenAccount, isSigner: false, isWritable: true }],
        programId: TOKEN_PROGRAM_ID,
        data: Buffer.from([]),
    });

    const transaction = await sendAndConfirmTransaction(
        connection,
        new Transaction().add(instruction),
        [payer]
    );

    console.log('Minted token:', transaction);
}

mintToken();
