A Closer Look Into Metaplex’s New Standard

According to the statement disclosed by Metaplex, its new standard, Metaplex Inscriptions and Engravings, cracks down solely on on-chain and immutable digital assets in the Solana ecosystem. Moreover, the statement illuminated how most NFTs in the SOL ecosystem stored their data on external services like Arweave, IPFS, and S3, further spotlighting the need for such a standard.

Intriguingly, the statement also facilitated the new standard’s functioning, showcasing the use of Metaplex Inscriptions. Metaplex Inscriptions enables users to store an asset’s metadata and media-related data entirely on the Solana ecosystem, eradicating external trust assumptions for on-chain attributes and smart contracts.

In addition, the proclamation also sheds light on Metaplex Engravings, a standard that empowers Solana’s first truly immutable NFTs and inscriptions. Notably, this engraver amalgamates an additional security layer to safeguard engraved NFTs against any alterations. With this standard, the SOL ecosystem ensures integrity orbiting around the engraved NFTs despite their immutable origin.

Furthermore, as per the announcement, inscriptions are to be numbered on a first-come, first-served basis, amassing noteworthy traction among crypto fanatics globally.
