Token-2022

Solana's extended token standard supporting transfer fees (TransferFeeConfig), transfer hooks, PermanentDelegate, confidential transfers, and other extensions. Not malicious by default, but enables honeypot configurations unavailable in classic SPL. A Token-2022 token on a memecoin is a forced pause requiring investigation of every active extension.

Tokenomics TransferFeeConfig A Token-2022 extension that withholds a configurable percentage of every transfer, collectible only by the designated fee authority. Non-zero transfer fees on a memecoin are a red flag: the fee rate can be changed at any time if the authority has not been revoked, enabling honeypot escalation. → Tokenomics Transfer Hook A Token-2022 extension that runs a custom program on every token transfer. Can implement arbitrary restrictions including blocking sells while allowing buys. A transfer hook on a memecoin is a kill signal in 2026 — no legitimate memecoin use case justifies it. → Tokenomics Permanent Delegate A Token-2022 extension that allows a designated address to transfer or burn any holder's tokens at will. Designed for stablecoin compliance and issuer-controlled assets. On a memecoin, an active PermanentDelegate is a kill signal — the operator retains the ability to seize any holder's position. →
