seoTitle: "Token Extensions: Reallocate instruction"
title: How to use the Reallocate instruction

after initializing a Token Account, enabling expanding support for more

To enable additional extensions on existing Token Accounts created via the Token
Extension program, additional space must first be reallocated to accommodate the
extra data required by these extensions. This can be done using the `reallocate`
instruction.

For example, this allows existing Token Accounts can be updated to enable the
[`MemoTransfer`](/content/guides/token-extensions/required-memo.md) and
`CpiGuard` extensions.

In this guide, we'll walk through an example of using Solana Playground. Here is
the [final script](https://beta.solpg.io/65723a50fb53fa325bfd0c52).

## Getting Started

Start by opening this Solana Playground
[link](https://beta.solpg.io/656e19acfb53fa325bfd0c46) with the following
starter code.

```javascript
// Client
console.log("My address:", pg.wallet.publicKey.toString());
const balance = await pg.connection.getBalance(pg.wallet.publicKey);
console.log(`My balance: ${balance / web3.LAMPORTS_PER_SOL} SOL`);
```

If it is your first time using Solana Playground, you'll first need to create a
Playground Wallet and fund the wallet with devnet SOL.

<Callout type="info">

If you do not have a Playground wallet, you may see a type error within the
editor on all declarations of `pg.wallet.publicKey`. This type error will clear
after you create a Playground wallet.

</Callout>

To get devnet SOL, run the `solana airdrop` command in the Playground's
terminal, or visit this [devnet faucet](https://faucet.solana.com/).

```
solana airdrop 5
```

Once you've created and funded the Playground wallet, click the "Run" button to
run the starter code.

## Add Dependencies

Let's start by setting up our script. We'll be using the `@solana/web3.js` and
`@solana/spl-token` libraries.

Replace the starter code with the following:

```javascript
import {
Connection,
Transaction,
clusterApiUrl,
sendAndConfirmTransaction,
} from "@solana/web3.js";
import {
ExtensionType,
TOKEN_2022_PROGRAM_ID,
createAccount,
createMint,
createReallocateInstruction,
createEnableRequiredMemoTransfersInstruction,
} from "@solana/spl-token";

// Playground wallet
const payer = pg.wallet.keypair;

// Connection to devnet cluster
const connection = new Connection(clusterApiUrl("devnet"), "confirmed");

// Transaction signature returned from sent transaction
let transactionSignature: string;
```

## Create Mint and Token Account

First, we'll need to create a new Mint Account.

```javascript
// Authority that can mint new tokens
const mintAuthority = pg.wallet.publicKey;
// Decimals for Mint Account
const decimals = 2;

// Create Mint Account
const mint = await createMint(
connection,
payer, // Payer of the transaction and initialization fees
mintAuthority, // Mint Authority
null, // Optional Freeze Authority
decimals, // Decimals of Mint
undefined, // Optional keypair
undefined, // Options for confirming the transaction
TOKEN_2022_PROGRAM_ID, // Token Extension Program ID
);
```

Next, let's create a Token Account with no extensions enabled.

```javascript
// Create Token Account for Playground wallet
const tokenAccount = await createAccount(
connection,
payer, // Payer to create Token Account
mint, // Mint Account address
payer.publicKey, // Token Account owner
undefined, // Optional keypair, default to Associated Token Account
undefined, // Confirmation options
TOKEN_2022_PROGRAM_ID, // Token Extension Program ID
);
```

## Build Instructions

Next, let's build a transaction to enable the `MemoTransfer` extensions for an
existing Token Account.

First, build the instruction to reallocate the Token Account with enough space
for the specified extension. The Token Extensions Program includes a
[reallocate instruction](https://github.com/solana-labs/solana-program-library/blob/master/token/program-2022/src/extension/reallocate.rs#L24)
that automatically calculates the space and lamports required.

```javascript
// Extensions to reallocate data for
const extensions = [ExtensionType.MemoTransfer];
// Instruction to reallocate Token Account data
const reallocateInstruction = createReallocateInstruction(
tokenAccount, // Token Account address
payer.publicKey, // Payer to reallocate data
extensions, // Extensions to reallocate for
payer.publicKey, // Token Account owner
undefined, // Additional signers
TOKEN_2022_PROGRAM_ID, // Token Extension Program ID
);
```

Next, build the instruction to enable the `MemoTransfer` extension for the Token
Account.

```javascript
// Instruction to initialize the MemoTransfer Extension
const enableRequiredMemoTransfersInstruction =
createEnableRequiredMemoTransfersInstruction(
tokenAccount, // Token Account address
payer.publicKey, // Token Account Owner
undefined, // Additional signers
TOKEN_2022_PROGRAM_ID, // Token Extension Program ID
);
```

## Send Transaction

Next, let's add the instructions to a new transaction and send it to the
network. This will update the Token Account with the `MemoTransfer` extension
enabled.

```javascript
// Add instructions to new transaction
const transaction = new Transaction().add(
reallocateInstruction,
enableRequiredMemoTransfersInstruction,
);

// Send Transactoin
transactionSignature = await sendAndConfirmTransaction(
connection,
transaction,
[payer],
);

console.log(
"\nReallocate:",
`https://solana.fm/tx/${transactionSignature}?cluster=devnet-solana`,
);
```

Run the script by clicking the `Run` button. You can then inspect the
transaction details on SolanaFM.

## Conclusion

The reallocate instruction on the Token Extensions program offers a flexible way
to update existing Token Accounts with additional functionalities. This
instruction is useful for token owners who may not have foreseen the need for
certain extensions initially, but find themselves requiring these additional
features at a later time.
