Join us tonight with @blockiosaurus , @meta_hess and @DocHollywoodArt to talk Solana Inscriptions!

Who's that DAS Provider?!?! Congrats to the @QuickNode team on shipping Metaplex DAS Support!!!

1/ Metaplex December Round-up 🦾 tldr - 520k monthly unique signers (+118% MoM) and 1.5M unique signers in 2023 (highest of any Solana protocol) - Solana trading volume exceeded $360M, surpassing all of Ethereum - 2.9M Token Metadata mints (+240% MoM), the highest since Sept '22

We'd like to take a moment to highlight one of the biggest Inscription supporters, @HodlOrDie_ . Pre-docs, pre-UI, they were chewing the glass we left behind and still managed to ship at the exact same time. Take a look!

Hey wake up.. new Kemosabe & Slorg just dropped 👀

What's more permanent, an old piece of paper or Solana?

gm, big day today

Inscription Docs are live and will continue to be filled out over the next 24 hours. We're ready for tomorrow, are you? 👀✒️💎

One of the coolest OPOS use cases: a physical card game that’s also backed by cNFTs! But wait… the Tensorian packs are out! Good work @blockiosaurus and frens 🔥

FOC it, Metaplex Inscriptions Fully on-chain, fully on @solana Mainnet Tuesday @ 3PM EST

Immense shout out to @danenbm for shepherding Update Metadata through program updates, audits, DAS implementation, and RPC integration. We couldn't ask for a better DAS engineer

Bubblegum has been deployed to devnet with support for the Update Metadata instruction Rust client 1.2.0, JS Solita 0.10.0, and JS Umi package 3.1.0 have all been published See the developer hub to start updating metadata with Umi:

gm compression enjoyoooooors! Who's ready to be able to update their cNFTs? Get a head start on integration, only at the Metaplex Developer Hub. Link below👇

So it seems Myths of Brume gonna be the first card game utilizing @metaplex x @solanalabs standard of compressed nfts. Think buying mystery packs, collecting & trading cards, creating the best decks, playing vs friends, tournaments. All that in amazing @CrittersCult lore. Stoked!

Huge opportunity for @solana builders.

dear devs, i have released 11 million cnfts on solana into the wild. please make the most of them. make more fun things. upgrades, crafting, smart stacks of like-artwork, UI to handle someone holding 10k nfts, etc. your efforts are greatly appreciated. 🙏 love, degen poet

February 2024.. 1,000,000 MPLX up for grabs and more to come! Presenting cHack, a Compression focused hackathon for developers building the future of Solana NFTs and NFT tooling

thanks to @blockiosaurus , I just learned that you can nest onchain collections 🤯 you can essentially build an onchain artist profile with every series organized within it. artists could truly own their profiles and easily switch from one platform to another with a few…

Announcing the Metaplex Inscriptions UI, an open source reference UI for Inscribing NFTs on Solana! This tool allows creators to inscribe NFTs they've already minted and can be used by developers to integrate inscriptions into their own apps.

Mo' dependencies, mo' problems.

👀

The next generation of story telling will be on-chain 🦾

Thanks to @metaplex , @heliuslabs , @triton_one and everyone who made DAS API a proper spec and implementation. Lots of glass chewing by lots of people.

Behold! The Text Yeeter!!!

Yeet text, on chain.

Struggling to come up with original startup ideas? Build something with this. Think of NFTs as programmable bots that manage their own wallet balances. Airdrop strategies, farming strategies, NPCs in games... Hit me up if you want to discuss ideas 🧠

There’s one chain that has been at the forefront of every innovative NFT feature despite eth having a head start And a lot of that innovation has been stewarded by metaplex On solana we just move faster 🏃‍♂️

Hey migrating Eth & new Solana devs! If you're wondering if Solana has a version of ERC-6551, the answer is yes! Each Metaplex NFT is capable of acting as its own token wallet. Example use cases are asset bundles, associated NFT relationships, or NFTs as wallets.

Powering innovation across Solana NFTs 🦾

Kalif inscription looks mighty fine on the gateway

Update Metadata for cNFTs is now code-complete and will soon be live on devnet, pending RPC activation This includes upgrades to Metaplex’s Bubblegum program and Digital Asset Standard (DAS) API, which is an open-source spec for interacting with digital assets on Solana

gm to everyone supporting the most significant Open Source community effort in Solana NFTs.

A Christmas miracle happened: SOL has overtaken ETH in December NFT volume, and now leads by $4 million dollars. If this holds until New Year, it will mark the first time ever that SOL has flipped ETH in monthly NFT volume.

3/ And for developers looking to get started, check out the docs below 👇

We are pleased to share the security audit report from @madshield_xyz for both pNFTs and Token Metadata’s support for token22. All vulnerabilities identified in the audit were timely fixed Metaplex x Mad Shield working together to keep your NFTs SAFU 🦾🛡️ Full report below 👇

Congrats @dreader ! And congrats to the Metaplex DAO on the first $MPLX community grant.

🎉 Today, we're announcing that we've locked in a bag of magic internet money to help accelerate the adoption of digital comic collecting experiences. Our Metaplex grant proposal was supported by 70 DAO members that resonate with our vision. More details below 👇

As Solana NFT mints reach new heights, all roads lead back to Metaplex (MPLX). MPLX isn’t just another category leader, it is literally the entire NFT market on Solana — it facilitates 99.9% of all NFT mints! Plus? It has a 1000x cost advantage over competing chain standards.

Important note for you glass chewers who have already integrated Inscriptions into your dApps!
