Get StartedAssociated Token Program IDL
ATokenGPvbdGVxr1b2hvZbsiqW5xWH25efTNsLJA8knLSPL Associated Token Program creates and manages associated token accounts on Solana. Provides the standard create_associated_token_account instruction used across all Solana wallets and DApps.
Instructions
Integration Examples
Use the Associated Token Program IDL in your application with these code examples for TypeScript, Rust, and Python.
import { Connection, PublicKey } from "@solana/web3.js";
import { Program, AnchorProvider, Idl } from "@coral-xyz/anchor";
// Load the Associated Token Program IDL
import idl from "./associated token program.json";
const PROGRAM_ID = new PublicKey("ATokenGPvbdGVxr1b2hvZbsiqW5xWH25efTNsLJA8knL");
// Set up the provider and program
const connection = new Connection("https://api.mainnet-beta.solana.com");
const provider = new AnchorProvider(connection, wallet, {
commitment: "confirmed",
});
const program = new Program(idl as Idl, provider);
// Fetch and decode an account
const accountData = await program.account.associated_Token_Program
.fetch(accountPublicKey);
console.log("Account data:", accountData);
// Build and send an instruction
const tx = await program.methods
.initialize(/* ...args */)
.accounts({
/* ...required accounts */
})
.rpc();
console.log("Transaction signature:", tx);IDL JSON Preview

...Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Associated Token Program IDL?
The Associated Token Program IDL (Interface Definition Language) is a JSON schema that defines the on-chain program interface for the Associated Token Program smart contract on Solana. It describes all available instructions, account structures, events, and custom types that developers need to interact with the Associated Token Program program. This IDL contains 3 instructions, 0 account types, 0 events, and 0 type definitions.
How do I use the Associated Token Program IDL in my project?
Download the JSON file and import it in your project. With TypeScript, use the @coral-xyz/anchor package to create a Program instance. In Rust, use anchor-client. For Python, use anchorpy. See the integration examples above for complete code snippets in all three languages.
What is the Associated Token Program program address on Solana?
The Associated Token Program program is deployed at address ATokenGPvbdGVxr1b2hvZbsiqW5xWH25efTNsLJA8knL on Solana mainnet. You can verify this on any Solana block explorer.
What version of the Associated Token Program IDL is this?
This is version 1.1.0 of the Associated Token Program IDL. IDL versions correspond to specific program deployments and may be updated as the protocol evolves. Always verify compatibility with the on-chain program version before integrating.
