NFT Tools

Minting, marketplaces, metadata, and NFT analytics.

Almost all NFT infra runs on Metaplex. cNFTs are the default for large-scale mints.

Nearly all NFT infrastructure on Solana runs on Metaplex — its Token Metadata program is the standard for on-chain NFT data, Candy Machine powers the majority of NFT launches, and the Bubblegum program enables compressed NFTs.

Compressed NFTs (cNFTs) are the most significant development in Solana NFTs in recent years. By using state compression, you can mint millions of NFTs for a fraction of the cost of standard NFTs, making them practical for loyalty programs, gaming items, and large-scale distributions. Underdog Protocol wraps this into an API for developers who don't want to deal with Metaplex directly.

For marketplaces, Magic Eden is the largest by volume and best for general users. Tensor is aimed at active traders with pro-grade sweeping tools and collection analytics.
