Core Candy Machine

Launch your next MPL Core Asset collection on Solana.

Overview

The Metaplex Protocol Candy Machine is the leading minting and distribution program for fair NFT collection launches on Solana. With the introduction of the Metaplex Core Protocol simplifying the NFT process on Solana it was only fitting for a Core edition of the Candy Machine to come to the masses. Much like its name suggests, you can think of a Candy Machine as a temporary structure which is first loaded by creators and then unloaded by buyers. It allows creators to bring their digital assets onchain in a secure and customisable way.

The name refers to the vending machines that dispense candy for coins via a mechanical crank. In this case the candy are NFTs and the payment is SOL or a SPL token.
