Metaplex Development Skill

Overview

Metaplex provides the standard infrastructure for NFTs and tokens on Solana:

• Agent Registry: On-chain agent identity, wallets, and execution delegation for MPL Core assets
• Genesis: Token launch protocol with fair distribution + liquidity graduation
• Core: Next-gen NFT standard (recommended for new NFT projects)
• Token Metadata: Fungible tokens + legacy NFTs/pNFTs
• Bubblegum: Compressed NFTs (cNFTs) using Merkle trees — massive scale at minimal cost
• Candy Machine: NFT drops with configurable minting rules

Tool Selection

Prefer CLI over SDK for direct execution. Use SDK only when user specifically needs code.
