What is an SPL-token?​

Solana blockchain tokens are called as SPL-tokens. SPL-Tokens are created using token-program.

Even though there is a native way to create/transfer and manipulate spl-tokens using the solana native program, it is easier to use to do the same using Anchor Framework

In this series, we will use Anchor Framework extensively to understand the concepts.
