According to Odaily, Solana's NFT platform Metaplex has announced that its DAO has entered a new phase. In June, the Metaplex protocol used 50% of its May fees (4490 SOL) and some historical fees (5510 SOL) to purchase MPLX, contributing a total of 3.8 million MPLX to the Metaplex DAO. The protocol generated a total of 8735 SOL in fees in June.
Earlier in March, Metaplex announced the launch of a new NFT standard on the Solana chain, Core, which has already been launched on Devnet. Core, specifically designed for NFTs, supports storing key data in a single chain account, thereby reducing computational requirements, increasing throughput, and helping to improve the efficiency of the Solana network. The Core is fully supported by the Metaplex developer platform and can be seamlessly integrated with a set of SDKs and utilities. It is planned to be launched on the main network next week, with additional support from Candy Machine, DAS, Umi, and Amman.
In addition, Metaplex announced that 50% of the protocol fees will be used to purchase MPLX tokens and send them to the Metaplex DAO, which includes all historical and future fees.
