According to Foresight News, Metaplex, the digital economy platform of Solana Ecosystem, announced the launch of Metaplex Aura, a decentralized indexing and data availability network for Solana and Solana Virtual Machine (SVM). The Metaplex Aura network has three main components: data availability for digital assets, where users and developers will benefit from decentralized data storage and retrieval, ensuring that digital assets and media content are always accessible; Aura enhances the Digital Asset Standard (DAS) API to provide high-performance indexing across protocols on Solana and SVM; elastic state management, where developers and applications will be able to convert assets between SVM account spaces and different levels of state compression as needed. The Aura network is now live on the mainnet and development network, and with the support of the MPLX token, Aura nodes are able to process read requests from public gateways, which helps improve network efficiency.
