Associated Token Account (ATA)
Also known asATA
A deterministically derived token account for a given wallet and mint, using the PDA seeds [wallet, token_program, mint]. ATAs provide a canonical address so anyone can send tokens to a wallet without the recipient creating an account first. The ATA program creates the account on first use, funded by the sender.
