Token Mint
The unique on-chain address that identifies a specific token on Solana.
Definition
A token mint is a Solana account that defines a specific token — its supply, decimal places, mint authority, and freeze authority. Every SPL and Token-2022 token on Solana has a unique token mint address.
The token mint address is the canonical identifier for a token on Solana. It is used to look up token information on block explorers like Solscan, verify token locks, and interact with token accounts.
When a token is created on Solana, a new mint account is generated with a unique public key. This address is permanent and cannot be changed — it is the definitive reference for that token across all wallets, DEXs, and DeFi applications.
StakePoint & Token Mint
Token locks on StakePoint are identified by the token mint address of the locked token. Investors can use the token mint address to verify a lock on Solscan independently. Each lock detail page on StakePoint displays the token mint address prominently.
