Metaplex

<a href="https://www.metaplex.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Metaplex</a>, the blockchain protocol used to create virtually every token, memecoin, and NFT on Solana, saw record-breaking protocol fees in November, fueled by a surge in digital asset creation on Solana.Rise in Solana Token Creation Drives Record Protocol GrowthAs the protocol behind virtually all token creation on Solana, Metaplex has emerged as a primary beneficiary of the extraordinary surge in digital asset creation on the Solana network.<img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/optimized-uploads/649cfda4930d40728316178a722a2ebc.jpeg" />This exponential level of activity, encompassing everything from memecoins to AI tokens and NFTs, directly contributes to Metaplex’s protocol fees. This increased protocol fee generation has in turn funded record-breaking $MPLX token purchases for the Metaplex DAO.<img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/optimized-uploads/7332d2092f844e30a02207ba9cc77a9f.jpeg" />Since June 2024, 50% of the prior month’s protocol fees and a portion of the historical fees have been allocated to funding $MPLX token purchases for contribution to the DAO.In November 2024, this culminated in 12k SOL worth of $MPLX purchases — equivalent to approximately $3 million at current prices, marking a substantial 58% increase month-over-month and signifying the largest monthly $MPLX token purchases to date.Building on this momentum, Metaplex’s November protocol fees hit an all-time high of $3.5 million, setting the stage for even larger allocations for $MPLX purchases in December.Record-Breaking Metaplex Protocol Metrics in NovemberNovember’s protocol activity shattered previous records across multiple metrics:<ul><li>Metaplex saw extraordinary growth in fungible token creation, with 1.4M new tokens minted — marking a 56% increase month-over-month compared to the previous all-time high in October 2024 and a new monthly record. This represented 94% of all Token Metadata assets created, driven primarily by memecoin activity on platforms such as Pump.fun.</li><li>Metaplex Core, the next generation NFT standard, demonstrated significant adoption with a new all-time high of 354k assets created, driven by expanded use cases made possible due to the standard’s flexible design.</li><li>User engagement metrics surged as the number of unique wallets interacting with the Metaplex protocol reached 879k — a 34% increase from October and a new all-time high. The protocol’s total collector base expanded to nearly 60 million unique wallets, growing by over 860k in November alone.</li></ul><h2 id="header-0">About the Metaplex Protocol</h2><a href="https://www.metaplex.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Metaplex</a> is the leading decentralized protocol on Solana and SVM, providing tools and programs for developers and creators to build decentralized applications that use digital assets.
