How Compression Will Decimate Network Costs
summary
Compression cuts mint costs by tens to thousands of times: 10,000 NFTs drop from ~120 SOL to ~3 SOL (≈40x), a million from ~12,000 SOL to ~5 SOL, and a billion from ~12,000,000 SOL to ~500 SOL, enabling millions/billions of owners. Achieved by a concurrent Merkle tree design plus on‑chain SPL account compression and an off‑chain Metaplex Read API that reconstructs proofs via RPC history. Beta integrations with RPC providers (Triton, GenesysGo), wallets (Soulflare) and enterprise APIs (Stardust/Crossmint) are live and functional.
