Orb is a fast, human-readable Solana (SOL) block explorer built by Helius. This tutorial covers how to find the mint address of any Solana token and the associated token account (ATA) for tokens in your wallet.

​
What is a mint address?

A mint address, or token mint account, is the mint account’s public key. This canonical token identifier is similar to an EVM “contract address” despite being a misnomer. When you look up an SPL token’s mint address on a SOL block explorer like Orb, you can find the token’s metadata, including:

​
Token Mint Address vs. Associated Token Address

Your wallet address has a single public key for receiving tokens, but every token held in your wallet is owned by an “associated token account,” or ATA, that holds each unique token’s balance. A mint address can be thought of as a “global” address for a token, whereas an Associated Token Account is the token’s local address where your wallet holds its balance.

​
When do you need a mint address?

Needing a token’s mint address is a common occurrence for:
  1. Trading: confirm you are trading the correct token on a DEX
  2. Analysis: confirm you’re looking up the correct holder, markets, and liquidity data
  3. Security: confirm the token’s metadata, including token authorities
  4. Development: RPC methods like getTokenAccountBalance require a mint address
  5. Tracking: adding a specific token to your portfolio tracker or dashboard

How to Find a Solana Token’s Mint Address with Orb

The simplest way to find a token mint address on a block explorer like Orb is to search for the token’s name or ticker symbol in the search bar.

Note: make sure you click the token result with the “Verified” checkmark next to its name, as there may be duplicate tokens that impersonate the same name and symbol.
Select your token from the results. Orb will open the token explorer page for that mint. The token mint address is at the top of the page next to the token’s name, icon, and ticker.

Solana has a few token programs including SPL (Solana Program Library) and Token-2022. If the token uses the Token-2022 standard, you can find the mint address in the Token Extensions tab.

How to Find the Token Address (ATA) for a Token in Your Wallet

We know how to find the token’s mint address (i.e., the global address for a token). Now, let’s find the local token account for a specific wallet (i.e., the Associated Token Account).  First, get your wallet address or SNS domain name and paste it into Orb.  For this example, we’ll use the god.sol domain which is a popular memecoin trader’s wallet.

Searching for a Solana domain name in Orb

Orb will load the wallet explorer page showing the account’s balance, tokens, and activity. Next, click the Tokens tab. This section shows:
  • The tokens in the wallet (name and symbol)
  • The balances, price, and value of each token
  • Recent transactions, token mint address, and ATA
This table is a visual version of getTokenAccountsByOwner for that wallet. To find the token’s mint address, find the row of the token you’re interested in, and then hover over the copy icon next to the token’s name. Here, you can copy the token’s mint address.  e.g., the $PUMP mint address is: pumpCmXqMfrsAkQ5r49WcJnRayYRqmXz6ae8H7H9Dfn

Finding the token mint address and Associated Token Account on Orb

To find the $PUMP token’s Associated Token Account (ATA) for a specific wallet, expand the token’s “Show transactions” section and click the “Token account” button to copy the ATA. For example, the Associated Token Account for the $PUMP token in the god.sol wallet address is: 8TeLauDKq9sEFYQ2152aRwr23BThjwm8xMPxLVzR5Cvy With the wallet’s ATA you can:
  • Debug why a particular token isn’t showing in your app
  • Call RPC methods like getTokenAccountBalance for that exact account
  • Diagnose stuck transfers or airdrops by checking the right ATA was created/funded

Find a Token Mint Address and ATA from a Transaction Signature

Sometimes all you have is a transaction signature — for example, from a swap or airdrop. Orb makes it easy to find the relevant mint and token accounts from any transaction explorer page.
  1. Copy the transaction signature from your wallet or app
  2. Paste it into the Orb search bar and open the transaction page
  3. Click the “Balances” tab
  4. Go to the “Token Balances” section
  5. Find the token in the “Change” column
  6. Copy the token mint address in the “Token Mint” column 
  7. Copy the ATA for the token in the owner’s wallet in the “Token Account” column

Conclusion

Now you know how to find and verify Solana token mint addresses on the Orb blockchain explorer from a token page, find Associated Token Accounts for a token on a wallet address page, and see this information from the balance summary on a transaction explorer page.
