# Wrapped Thru

Use `thru wthru` when the task involves wrapped Thru rather than generic token-account operations.

## Commands

| Command | Use it for |
| - | - |
| `initialize` | Initialize the wrapped Thru mint and vault accounts. |
| `deposit <dest_token_account> <amount>` | Wrap native Thru into wrapped Thru. |
| `withdraw <wthru_token_account> <recipient> <amount>` | Burn wrapped Thru and receive native Thru. |

## High-Signal Flags

| Flag | Why it matters |
| - | - |
| `--program` | Override the configured wrapped Thru program ID. |
| `--token-program` | Override the token program ID used by wrapped Thru flows. |
| `--skip-transfer` | On `deposit`, skip the native transfer and only run the deposit instruction. |

## Minimal Pattern

```bash
thru wthru initialize
thru wthru deposit ta...[dest_token_account] 1000000
```

## Notes

- Use this family instead of `token` when the goal is wrapping or unwrapping native Thru.
- The program and token program IDs can both be overridden explicitly.
