The Metaplex Foundation has unveiled the Metaplex Aura Network, a decentralized indexing and data availability layer for Solana. Launched on Sept. 23, the platform complements the Solana Virtual Machine and Metaplex Program Library by providing real-time data availability. Metaplex Aura offers developers three key components: data availability, multi-program indexing, and elastic state management, enhancing flexibility, optimization, and scalability. The network is powered by the native Metaplex token MPLX. Embracing a community-driven approach, the foundation engaged Solana and SVM developers for feedback and early implementations, with over 25 projects participating. Metaplex plans to open-source the Aura platform's code for global developer contributions. MPLX saw a 12% increase, trading above $0.42 with a daily volume surpassing $2.8 million, driven by market gains. Aave and Arkham also experienced significant price surges amidst the positive market momentum. Read more AI-generated news on: https://app.chaingpt.org/news
