gill examples - tokens

Gill is aimed at abstracting away many of the complexities and boilerplate required to perform common interactions with the Solana blockchain, while still offering the low level "escape hatches" when developers need (or want) fine-grain control.

Take a look through these examples to see how gill works and even how it compares to using the vanilla web3js v2 library.
