Build a Solana Token Using Anchor (2025) | Token-2022 + PDA Mint Authority Tutorial

Description

Welcome to **GrokChain Labs With Bhupendra** 🚀 In this tutorial, we build a real Solana token from scratch using the Anchor Framework and Token-2022 standard. We derive PDA mint authority, create the mint, mint tokens with secure CPI calls, create an associated token account, run test cases, and verify everything live on the Solana Devnet Explorer. 🎯 What you will learn in this video: • Create a Solana token using Anchor • Token-2022 / token_interface CPI • PDA-based Mint Authority (secure, no private keys) • Create Associated Token Account • Mint custom tokens using JS tests • Deploy & verify on Devnet Explorer 📦 Final code & resources: (Will upload soon to GitHub) ⏱ Video Chapters: 00:00 Intro 00:30 Project Setup 01:10 Anchor Program Structure 02:50 Token Mint PDA 04:45 Rust Token Mint Instruction 07:20 JavaScript Test Environment 10:30 Create ATA & Mint Tokens 13:10 Deployment & Explorer Verification 14:40 Outro 🛠 Tools Used: Anchor 0.32.0 Solana Token-2022 Program JavaScript test runner Devnet Explorer 📦 Project Source Code (GitHub): https://github.com/bhupendra05/Solana-Token-Using-Anchor-.git 📢 Next Episode: Add Token Metadata — Name, Symbol, Logo + Phantom UI Mint dApp 💬 Comment below: What Solana project should we build next? 🔔 Subscribe for more Web3 tutorials & real builds: **GrokChain Labs With Bhupendra** #solana #anchor #web3 #crypto #blockchain #token2022 #pda #grok #solanadev #dapp #programming 🔥 JOIN THE BUILDER COMMUNITY Subscribe & turn on notifications to get notified for Part 2: Adding Metadata + Phantom Wallet UI Mint 💜 Build the future. 💜 Keep Grokking.
