The Pod: p-token: The Road to Mainnet
summary
A drop-in replacement for the SPL token program claims 12–13% more block space by cutting token instruction compute use dramatically—measured 90–98% CU reductions on core ops—using Pinocchio and zero-copy plus micro‑tuning. Testnet and devnet builds and a TypeScript SDK exist, plus audits, fuzzing that compares account state outputs, and pending formal verification before mainnet activation (announced as days away). New instructions include withdraw/unwrap lamports and a batch CPI that collapses multiple token CPIs to one 1,000 CU base.
