Overview

Solana Compress is a tool that uses Light Protocol for 99% cost reduction when launching Zero-Knowledge (ZK) compressed tokens on Solana. It triggers on several key terms, including compressed tokens, ZK compression, and cheap airdrops. The tool reduces on-chain storage costs by storing account data in a Merkle tree and posting only the root hash on-chain. This is achieved through the Light Token SDK, which drops Solana Associated Token Account fees to $0.001 for all SPL tokens with Token-2022 extension support. With this tool, any operation that creates many token accounts, such as airdrops, loyalty programs, gaming assets, or agent micropayments, becomes trivially cheap. Token-2022 extensions, including transfer hooks, permanent delegation, and transfer fees, now work with compression. The tool can be used in scenarios such as airdropping tokens to 100k wallets cheaply, minting compressed tokens, reducing token account costs, or performing ZK compression on Solana. It is particularly useful for any project that creates many token accounts, including core concepts such as Standard Solana token accounts and Merkle trees.
