# Giricoin

> SPL token on Solana with scripted metadata creation and updates

Giricoin is a custom SPL token on Solana, created and managed through a set of TypeScript scripts rather than a UI. It mints the token, attaches Metaplex metadata (name, symbol, image URI), and makes it viewable in wallets like Backpack and on explorers such as Solscan.

The repo is a Turborepo monorepo; the token tooling lives in packages/token-script, using @solana/web3.js to talk to the chain and @metaplex-foundation/mpl-token-metadata to create and update on-chain metadata.

- Status: shipped
- Language: TypeScript
- Started: Apr 2025

## Highlights

- create-metadata / update-metadata scripts (ts-node) mint the token and attach or edit Metaplex metadata
- Reads wallet keypair, mint address, and metadata URI from environment variables (.env)
- Live on Solana devnet, visible in Backpack Wallet and on Solscan/Solana.fm explorers
