2. Mint Tokens to Light-ATA

   import { Keypair } from "@solana/web3.js";
   import { createRpc } from "@lightprotocol/stateless.js";
   import {
     createMintInterface,
     createAtaInterface,
     mintToInterface,
     getAssociatedTokenAddressInterface,
   } from "@lightprotocol/compressed-token";
   
   async function main() {
     const rpc = createRpc();
     const payer = Keypair.generate();
     await rpc.requestAirdrop(payer.publicKey, 10e9);
   
     const { mint } = await createMintInterface(
       rpc,
       payer,
       payer,
       null,  // freezeAuthority
       9,     // decimals
     );

     await createAtaInterface(rpc, payer, mint, recipient.publicKey);
   
     const destination = getAssociatedTokenAddressInterface(mint, recipient.publicKey);
   
     const txSignature = await mintToInterface(
       rpc,
       payer,
       mint,
       destination,
