📜 NFT Open Standards

• Metaplex Token Metadata Standard (docs) - defines NFT metadata (its structure, how it's stored on-chain / off-chain) and different types of NFTs (master editions, normal editions, one-offs, participation NFTs)
• Burnt Finance "Collections" - a standard that proposes to start recording NFTs as part of "collections". A collection adds an NFT to an array stored in a PDA to verify it as original, and the NFT in turn signs the collection's PK to verify the addition is valid (otherwise any collection could claim the NFT is part of it).

🚀 NFT Issuance

• Metaplex - a set of 4 progams that together enable NFT creators to mint and auction off their creations. Highly customizable (eg can set max mint, add attributes, decide what kind of edition you want to sell).
  • Token Metadata (docs) - described above
  • Token Vault (docs) - escrow & fractionalization of NFTs
  • Auction (docs) - different types of auctions for NFTs
  • Metaplex (docs) - the only program aware of the other 3, brings everything together
• Metaplex Store (docs) - self-serve front-end for Metaplex
• Holaplex - managed storefront for Metaplex, setup in 5 minutes
• Metaplex Candy Machine (docs) - simple program (to use, not to build!) that issues a fixed number of NFTs at a fixed price, first come first serve. If Metaplex itself has too many knobs for you to think about, consider the Candy Machine instead.
• Fair Launch (docs) (intro video) - a way to do "fair" launches in 3 phases: 1)users bid, 2)users adjust their bids, 3)a lottery determines winners who get to mint the NFTs.
• A number of "managed" launch services exist: Nova Launch, CrayonCreed. We've not tried and are not promoting either:)

🏦 Vaults

• Token Vault (docs) - Metaplex vaults. Support fractionalization, although without built-in auctionn mechanic (you'd need to collect all the pieces manually).
• Gem Bank (docs) - Gemworks vaults. Users deposit/withdraw, bank manager locks/unlocks. Can control what NFTs are / aren't allowed in using a whitelist of mints / creators.

📝 Whitelisting

• Gumdrop (docs) (guide) - can be used to create a whitelisted candy machine sale.

🥩 Staking

• Can deposit multiple token mints (actually useful for NFTs):
  • Gem Farm (docs) - fully OSS staking program designed for NFT projects to offer yield to their communities. Choose between fixed and variable rate, configure params like min staking time & min cooldown and much more.
• Can deposit only a single token mint at a time:
  • Serum's Staking Program (and the UI for it) - Serum's staking program. Most complex out of the bunch, but most fully-featured (supports time-locked rewards, doesn't comingle users' funds). Users need to actively "claim" the stake by periodically clicking a button.
  • Step Finance Rewards Pool - Step Finance rewards program. "AMM-style", meaning users' funds are pooled and rewards distributed proportionally. Supports rewards in up to 2 different mints.
  • Step Finance Staking Program - Step Finance staking program. A simpler program vs the one above, only pays out in one type of token.

🪂 Airdrops to NFT holders

• Gumdrop (docs) (guide) - can be used to airdrop NFTs & tokens to whitelisted accounts. Users can be notified via email, SMS, or discord.
• Air Support - set of scripts to airdrop NFTs to your following in 5 easy steps.
• Ghetto SolAir - a guerilla tactix command lined based airdrop tool for Solana with no polish and max functionality.

🤝 NFT Escrows / Swaps

• Metaplex Auction House - sell your NFT for a fixed price in a decentralized manner.
• Metaplex Token Entangler - an escrow service that enables 2 parties to swap their NFTs.
• Cofre - online tool for p2p NFT swaps.
