Skeet Now Supports Solana Compressed NFTs (cNFTs). Enabling Billion-Scale NFT Collections at Low Cost.

ELSOUL LABO B.V. (Headquarters: Amsterdam, Netherlands) is pleased to announce
that its open-source serverless app development tool, Skeet, now supports the
new Web3 and blockchain technology, Solana Compressed NFT (cNFT).
While NFT technology has garnered attention as a digital asset, the blockchain
fees for large-scale NFT collections can be prohibitively high. This made it
impractical to issue individual game items or global user profiles as NFTs.
What is Solana Compressed NFT (cNFT)?
Solana Compressed NFT (cNFT) is an NFT managed efficiently using data structures
like Merkle Trees to reduce data size while maintaining authenticity. Although
the Solana chain is relatively inexpensive by default, the cost to mint a single
NFT is 0.012 SOL (20), which scales linearly. For a collection
of 10,000 NFTs, this would cost 240 million, making it impractical for large-scale NFT collections.
0.24 : 1 SOL =
2,400, and for a billion NFTs, it would cost
The newly developed cNFT method allows for the issuance of 10,000 NFTs at
approximately 10,000
(24,000 times cheaper).
70 (34 times cheaper) and a billion NFTs at approximately

Skeet has integrated technologies from two leading Solana protocols: Metaplex
and Helius.
Metaplex is Solana's NFT protocol that sets token standards. It provides the umi
framework for handling NFTs and Solana transactions, as well as the Bubblegum
tool for issuing cNFTs.

Helius provides Solana's high-performance RPC and the necessary Digital Asset
Standard (DAS) API for using cNFTs.
Helius: https://www.helius.dev/
Skeet leverages these technologies, enabling developers to easily utilize Solana
Compressed NFTs (cNFTs).
