Glossary

Solana and w3Swap terms in plain English

Glossary

Glossary

Plain-English definitions for the terms that appear throughout the w3Swap docs.

Key terms

This glossary is intentionally practical rather than academic.

Allowlist

A list of wallets permitted to use a migration. In w3Swap this can be enforced with a Merkle root and proof rather than a plain on-chain list of every wallet.

ALT

Address Lookup Table. A Solana feature that helps compress long account lists in v0 transactions, which can matter for larger admin flows or big allowlists.

ATA

Associated Token Account. The standard token account for a wallet and mint pair. A holder may need a new ATA for the new token during migration.

CPI

Cross-program invocation. A Solana program calling another Solana program. w3Swap restricts important settlement and liquidity CPIs to allowlisted program IDs.

Finalization

The post-lockup stage where remaining assets can be transferred out and subordinate project accounts can be closed according to the protocol flow.

Lockup

A period after settlement during which LP-related assets remain subject to protocol timing rules before final recovery.

LP

Liquidity pool. In w3Swap docs this usually means the new token's trading liquidity that the project seeds and later deepens through settlement.

Merkle proof

A compact proof that shows a wallet belongs to a published dataset, such as an allowlist or a special-ratio map, without storing the full list directly on chain.

Old token

The token holders surrender during the migration. The old token can later be liquidated as part of settlement.

Settlement

The post-window process that finalizes liquidation accounting, enforces LP funding rules, and starts the LP lock period.

Token-2022

The newer Solana token standard that supports additional extensions beyond the legacy SPL Token program.

Vault

A program-controlled account used to hold project assets such as old tokens, new tokens, WSOL, or liquidity-related balances during the migration lifecycle.

WSOL

Wrapped SOL, the tokenized SPL representation of SOL often used in DeFi and settlement flows.

w3Swap

Secure, transparent token migration solutions for Solana projects. Reclaim control, capture fees, and relaunch your token.
