SOL and SPL tokens are not the same thing.
SOL is Solana’s native asset. It pays network transaction fees and helps secure the network through staking.
SPL tokens are assets created on Solana using its token programs. They can represent community tokens, stablecoins, project assets, and more.
One important distinction: transferring an SPL token still involves a network fee paid in SOL.
Understanding the difference is a useful first step before creating your own token.
