Metaplex is a sort of standard protocol in Solana NFT ecology that make NFT creators, investors, users and relevant ecology easy to interact and establich new NFTs.
Metaplex released new Collection Standard, Metaplex Certified Collection.
MCC
One of largest Solana NFT marketplace Magic Eden will be supporting the Metaplex Certified Collection (MCC) Standard on our marketplace.
This is a new collection standard for all NFTs minting with Candy Machine V2 (CMv2) - Solana Metaplex's Strong Tool to Support NFT Creators to make theirs collections to mint easily.
Metaplex’s Certified Collection Standard allows marketplaces and creators to certify that an NFT belongs to a specific collection, through information stored on chain.
This increases the confidence of creators and collectors to trust that their NFTs are truly part of a collection, and thus authentic.
The Impact of MCC for Creators
- Existing collection owners can choose to migrate their collection and adopt the Metaplex Certified Collection Standard.
- Every new creator who mints their collection on CandymMachineV2 (CMv2) will automatically be certified by the new Metaplex Standard.
Magic Eden will also allow Metaplex Certified Collections to be instantly tradable.
Since these collections are not reviewed against Magic Eden's guidelines, there will be a slightly different user experience.
NFTs and collections that are Metaplex certified but have NOT been reviewed by Magic Eden or other marketplaces
- Will not be searchable on our marketplace
- Will include warnings and disclaimers for traders to DYOR
- Will only be accessible through a direct link
So, even if the collections made via MCC could be tradable in Magic Eden, this stage is not enough to sell the collections to end users. It is required to add more step inside marketplace.
Listing Application via Creator Hub
NFT Creators who wish to remove these warnings and allow searchability are required to make a Listing Application through our Creator Hub. This allows the ME team to review that collection. Once creators' listing applications gets reviewed and approved, the collections:
- Will no longer display warnings
- Will be searchable on our marketplace
- Will have its own custom URL
- Can be featured on Magic Eden
