Inscription Compression

Compress SPL tokens into inscription-backed virtual balances, or decompress them back to standard SPL format. Save on storage costs with Merkle tree-based token compression.

What is Inscription Compression?

SPS uses Inscription Compression (IC) to store token balances in inscriptions instead of traditional Solana accounts. This means:

Virtual-first storage — Minimizes per-holder account rent in virtual mode
Privacy — Balances stored as SHA-256 commitments with Ed25519 ownership proofs
DEX compatible — Decompress anytime to trade
Pinocchio-powered — Built on the zero-copy Solana framework with Jiminy macros for maximum efficiency

Compress: your tokens go into a privacy pool and a commitment is logged on-chain. Decompress: sign ownership proof (Ed25519) to withdraw from pool. Nullifiers prevent double-spends.
