Solana NFTs are unique in the world of blockchain technology.
Unlike other platforms, each NFT created on the Solana chain has its own smart contract. Tatum leverages the Metaplex protocol, a smart contract and metadata standard for NFTs.
Storing Metadata in Solana
Solana provides a streamlined way to store the JSON metadata for NFTs on the blockchain itself. This eliminates the need to create a JSON metadata scheme and upload it to IPFS. All you need to do is include a URL that points to the metadata in the uri
field when creating an NFT.
Certified Collections in Solana
Certified Collections enable NFTs to be grouped together and for that information to be verified on-chain. More information is available in the Solana documentation
