Metaplex Core NFT Standard

The Metaplex Core standard is a next-generation NFT protocol for Solana that improves upon the existing Token Metadata standard. Core cuts minting costs by over 80%, with an example minting cost around $0.07 versus $0.42 for Token Metadata. It also uses just one Solana account instead of multiple, reducing blockchain congestion.

Core has substantial plugin support, allowing for advanced features like staking, point systems, and multi-asset burn-to-mint transactions. The standard also enables easier collection-level changes and cross-chain compatibility.

Metaplex Foundation Support

The Metaplex Foundation created Core and will be allocating 50% of all past protocol fees, as well as 50% of future fees, to the Metaplex DAO treasury. This will provide the community MPLX tokens that can be used for initiatives like staking rewards.

Early Adoption

Claynosaurz and Tensor have already committed to using Core for upcoming NFT drops. The standard launches on Solana devnet on March 28 ahead of a mainnet release in early April.

Conclusion

The Metaplex Core NFT standard aims to dramatically improve minting and congestion issues on Solana. Early adoption from top NFT projects provides optimism that Core could become the dominant standard. Its launch comes at an ideal time as Solana looks to boost performance and lower costs.
