This asset, which is shared by the network Metaplex. This tool indeed provides what makes creation and sale easier NFT on the Solana Network.
Metaplex, an essential toolbox for the Solana network (SOL)
Metaplex born June 2021. His project is both simple and ambitious: provide a framework for Solemn containing the NFT may flourish. With this protocol, the foundation Metaplex seeking development tools and standards for creation and ownership NFT.

To complete its offering and introduce as many companies as possible, Metaplex has created Holaplex, which offers a framework for each brand to launch its own market with no coding required. The goal is to allow the simplest possible Web3 integration.
