title: "3 Things That Changed How I Think About Solana Tokens"

Short summary

The author explores Solana's Token-2022 Program and discovers three patterns that expand what blockchain tokens can represent: interest-bearing tokens that accrue value on-chain, frozen-by-default accounts for KYC-style compliance, and non-transferable revocable credentials for digital identities. These extensions show tokens as programmable assets beyond simple balances, modeling financial products, regulated systems, and professional licenses.

  • •Interest-Bearing Extension lets token balances grow over time without minting
  • •Default Account State enables KYC-style frozen accounts until approval
  • •Combining non-transferable + permanent delegate + metadata creates revocable digital credentials

Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.
