# Light Compressed Token SDK

Low-level SDK for compressed token operations on Light Protocol.

This crate provides the core building blocks for working with compressed token accounts,
including instruction builders for transfers, mints, and compress/decompress operations.

## Compressed Token Accounts
- are on Solana mainnet.
- are compressed accounts.
- can hold Light Mint and SPL Mint tokens.
- cost 5,000 lamports to create.
- are well suited for airdrops and reward distribution.

## Difference to Light-Token:
[light-token](https://github.com/Lightprotocol/light-protocol/tree/main/sdk-libs/token-sdk): Solana account that holds token balances of light-mints, SPL or Token 22 mints for most token use cases (launchpads, DeFi, payments). Mint and token accounts with sponsored rent-exemption.
Compressed token: Compressed account storing token data. Rent-free, for storage and distribution. Prefer Light Token for other purposes. Used by Light Token under the hood for rent-free storage of inactive Light Tokens.

## Features

- `v1` - Enable v1 compressed token support
- `anchor` - Enable Anchor framework integration

For full examples, see the [Compressed Token Examples](https://github.com/Lightprotocol/examples-zk-compression).
