Solana: End Up With Weird SPL Token After SOL to USDC Swap
As a long-time fan of the Solana blockchain platform, I’m always excited to see my investments performing well. I recently made a successful swap from Solana (SOL) to USDC stablecoin through my mobile wallet on Phantom. The process went smoothly, and all my assets were transferred without any issues.
However, what happened next was unexpected – I was left with an unusual token in my wallet that my wallet app couldn’t identify. Specifically, it appeared as an “SPL” token, which is the native cryptocurrency of Solana. Despite being aware of its name and the context of the swap, I found myself wondering why this token existed.
After some digging, I discovered what might have happened. According to SolScan, an official blockchain analytics tool for the Solana network, the “SPL” token refers to an SPL (Solana Protocol) token that was created as part of the Solana ecosystem.
It appears that my Phantom wallet had mistakenly imported or included this SPL token in its database during the swap process. This may be due to a combination of factors, including incorrect configuration or outdated data.
Fortunately, I was able to resolve the issue by updating my Phantom wallet configuration and ensuring that it properly identifies the SPCL tokens on the Solana blockchain. After making these changes, I no longer see any SPL tokens in my wallet app.
While this experience might seem unusual, it highlights the importance of regularly updating your wallet configurations and staying informed about the latest developments in the Solana ecosystem. As a result, I’m now even more cautious when performing swaps or transactions on the platform.
For those interested in learning more about Solana or getting started with the native cryptocurrency, this incident serves as a reminder to double-check your wallet configurations and stay up-to-date with the latest developments in the Solana network.
