Metaplex
Inaugurated in August 2021, Metaplex stands as one of the biggest protocols on Solana. It allows creators and developers to create, sell, and oversee non-fungible tokens (NFTs). Using Metaplex Studio, individuals can create personalized NFT collections without needing to code. Metaplex provides developers with various tools and software development kits, such as Candy Machine for minting and distribution, Auction House for sales, and Token Metadata for incorporating NFTs into projects.
