What problem does it solve? Solana token accounts and PDAs require rent-exemption deposits that make large-scale token distributions and account creation expensive. This Skill provides complete guidance for Light Protocol, which reduces token account costs by 200x through ZK Compression and the Light Token Program. ## Core Features & Use Cases - ZK Compression Operations: Create compressed token mints, mint to multiple recipients, transfer, compress SPL tokens, and decompress back to SPL format using @lightprotocol/stateless.js and @lightprotocol/compressed-token. - Light Token Program: Create high-performance token mints with wrap/unwrap interoperability with SPL and Token-2022 tokens. - 21 JSON RPC Methods: Query compressed accounts, token balances, validity proofs, transaction signatures, and indexer health through Helius RPC endpoints. - Use Case: Airdrop tokens to thousands of recipients by batching mintTo calls (4 accounts per transaction) with compressed tokens costing ~5,000 lamports instead of ~2,000,000 per SPL account. ## Quick Start Set up a Light Protocol client with a Helius RPC endpoint and create a compressed token mint with 9 decimals, then mint tokens to a recipient address.
