Token Program
A Token program on the Velas blockchain.
This program defines a common implementation for Fungible and Non Fungible tokens.
Background
Solana's programming model and the definitions of the Velas terms used in this document are available at:
Source
The Token Program's source is available on github
Interface
The Token Program is written in Rust and available on crates.io and docs.rs.
Auto-generated C bindings are also available here
JavaScript bindings are available that support loading the Token Program on to a chain and issue instructions.
See the SPL Associated Token Account program for convention around wallet address to token account mapping and funding.
Command-line Utility
The spl-token command-line utility can be used to experiment with SPL tokens. Once you have Rust installed, run:
$ cargo install spl-token-cli
Run spl-token --help for a full description of available commands.
Configuration
The spl-token configuration is shared with the velas command-line tool.

Airdrop VLX
Creating tokens and accounts requires VLX for account rent deposits and transaction fees. If the cluster you are targeting offers a faucet, you can get a little VLX for testing:
