Metaplex Candy Machine Core (a.k.a. Candy Machine V3)

Overview

The Metaplex Protocol's Candy Machine is the leading minting and distribution program for fair NFT collection launches on Solana. It allows creators to bring their asset metadata on-chain and provides a mechanism to create (mint) NFTs from the on-chain configuration — in both deterministic and non-deterministic (random) way, like a traditional candy machine.

The latest iteration of the Candy Machine program retains the core functionality of minting an NFT only, while any access control configuration is now done by the new Candy Guard program.

The Candy Machine program is responsible for:

  • config line (asset) management: configuration of how many assets are available and their metadata information;
  • index generation and selection;
  • NFT minting (token creation).

Why separating mint logic and access control?

Previous versions of the Candy Machine included access controls to limit who can mint, when minting is allowed and other settings related to the mint (e.g., price) as part of its minting procedure. While the combination of the mint logic with access controls works, this design makes it complex to add more features or to remove undesired ones.

Creating a clear separation provides a modular and flexible architechture to add and remove access control settings, whithout the risks and complexities of breaking the minting logic. Each access control logic can be implemented in isolation and users can choose to enable/disable individual ones.

Who can mint from a Candy Machine?

Each Candy Machine account has two authorities associated: an authority and mint_authority. The authority has permission to manage the configuration of the candy machine. This include adding config lines (assets), updating its settings, changing authority/mint authorities and closing/withdrawing the account.

The mint_authority is the only address that is able to mint from a candy machine — the only requirement being that there are NFTs to be minted from it. The authority of the candy machine can delegate the mint_authority to another address, either a wallet or PDA. This separation allows maximum flexibility and enables composability, since other programs can be set as mint_authority and provide additional features on top of the candy machine. An example of this is the Candy Guard program, which provides access control guards for the candy machine.

Account

The Candy Machine configuration is stored in a single account, which includes settings that control the behaviour of the candy machine and metadata information for the NFTs minted through it. The account data is represented by the CandyMachine struct, which include references to auxiliary structs Creator, ConfigLineSettings and HiddenSettings.

Field Offset Size Description
— 0 8 Anchor account discriminator.
account_version 8 1 AccountVersion
token_standard 9 1 u8 indicating the token standard of minted NFTs (0 = NFT and 4 = pNFT)
features 10 6 [u8; 6] field to be used as a binary flag to support future features while maintaing backwards compatibility.
authority 16 32 PubKey of the authority address that controls the candy machine.
mint_authority 48 32 PubKey of the address allowed to mint from the candy machine.
collection_mint 80 32 PubKey of the collection NFT; each NFT minted from the candy machine will be part of this collection.
items_redeemed 112 8 Number of NFTs minted.
data CandyMachineData
- items_available 120 8 Total number of NFTs available.
- symbol 128 14 string representing the token symbol: length (4 bytes) + symbol (10 bytes).
- seller_fee_basis_points 142 2 Royalties percentage awarded to creators (value between 0 and 1000).
- max_supply 144 8 Indicates how many copies (editions) of an NFT can be created after it is minted; this is usually set to 0.
- is_mutable 152 1 Indicates whether the minted NFT is mutable or not.
- creators 153 ~ An array of Creator and their share of the royalties; this array is limited to 5 creators. Note: since the creators field is an array of variable length, we cannot guarantee the byte position of any field that follows (Notice the tilde ~ in the fields below). Each creator contains the following fields:
-- address ~ 32 The public key of the creator
-- verified ~ 1 The public key of the creator
-- share ~ 1 The public key of the creator
- config_line_settings ~ 1 (optional) ConfigLineSettings
-- prefix_name ~ 36 string representing the common part of the name of NFTs.
-- name_length ~ 4 u32 specifying the number of bytes for the remaining part of the name.
-- prefix_uri ~ 204 string representing the common part of the URI of NFTs.
-- uri_length ~ 4 u32 specifying the number of bytes for the remaining part of the URI.
-- is_sequential ~ 1 Indicates whether the mint index generation is sequential or not.
- hidden_settings ~ 1 (optional) HiddenSettings
-- name ~ 36 string representing the name of NFTs.
-- uri ~ 204 uri for the metadata of NFTs.
-- hash ~ 32 string representing the hash value of the file that contain the mapping of (mint index, NFT metadata).
hidden section 850 ~ (optional) Hidden data section to avoid unnecessary deserialisation. This section of the account is not represented by structs and data is store/retrieved using byte offsets. The hidden data section is not present when hiddenSettings are used, since there is no need to store config line settings.
- items 850 4 Number of NFTs (items) added to the candy machine; eventually this will be the same as items_available.
- config lines 854 ~ A sequence of name and uri pairs representing each NFT; the length of these are determined by name_length + uri_length; there will items_available * (name + uri) pairs in total.
- byte mask ~ ~ A byte section of length equal to (items_available / 8) + 1 with binary flags to indicate which config lines have been added.
- mint indices ~ ~ A sequence of u32 values representing the available mint indices; the usable indices are determined by: valid indices start at the mint number (items_redeemed) if is_sequential is true; otherwise, valid mint indices start from offset 0 until the offset determined by items_available - items_redeemed.
- rule set flag ~ 1 (optional) A bit to indicate if the account contains a rule set (only applicable to pNFT).
- rule set ~ 32 (optional) Pubkey of the rule set; this rule set will be added to newly minted pNFTs.

Features

Main improvements over the previous Candy Machine program.

Account space utilization

It is now possible to define a pattern to store the name and uri configuration in the format of prefix_name + name and prefix_uri + uri, where both prefix_name and prefix_uri are shared among all config lines. This provides account space saving, since there is no need to store repeated bytes in the account, leading to the possibility of creating larger Candy Machines and reducing the cost of deployment.

Instead of storing full URIs — e.g., https://arweave.net/yFoNLhe6cBK-wj0n_Wu-XuX7DC75VbMsNKwVbRSz4iQ?ext=png — for each config line, the prefix_uri is set to https://arweave.net/ and each config line only stores the different values in the uri space. This also applies to the prefix_name and name pair.

When a storage with deterministic URI generation — e.g., AWS S3 and Shadow Drive — is used, a significant space saving can be achieved by using replacement patterns in the prefix_name and prefix_uri, leaving each individual name and uri empty. In this case, the only space needed is to store the index representing the id for the random mint index generation.

A prefix_uri can include $ID$ or $ID+1$ patterns, which are automatically substituted for the mint index or mint index + 1 to generate a valid uri:

  • https://shdw-drive.genesysgo.net/DCG6qThfZE8xbM72RoFRLwRSrhNVjeWE1gVPPCGvLYSS/$ID$.png gets expanded to https://shdw-drive.genesysgo.net/DCG6qThfZE8xbM72RoFRLwRSrhNVjeWE1gVPPCGvLYSS/0.png when the first NFT is minted.

This also applied to the prefix_name: My NFT #$ID+1$ gets expanded to My NFT #1 when the fist NFT is minted.

Hidden settings with "automatic" reveal

Hidden settings are the most space efficient way to create a Candy Machine since no config lines are stored on the account. At the same time, it is necessary to run an update metadata procedure — dubbed reveal — after the mint to set each individual name and URI on the metadata of minted NFTs.

When a storage with deterministic URI generation is used, the reveal is not required as one can use the same $ID$or $ID+1$ replacement patterns in the name and uri fields of hidden settings.

The difference between using config lines with patterns and hidden settings with patterns is that in the former, the index generation for the mint is random while in the later the index generation is sequential.

Note While the use of deterministic URIs saves you work in terms of not requiring to run an update the metadata on each NFT, it would be possible to determine the URI of an NFT before it is minted. In order to avoid the files to be publicly accessible ahead of time, a placeholder image with the same name can be used instead. Therefore, the trade-off is between running an update metadata on each NFT or updating the images.

Random Index Generation

Currently the random index generation uses a sequential procedure to find the next available mint index. While this procedure works for most cases, it is not efficient (in terms of compute units) and it can reach the limit of compute units on large Candy Machine deploys.

The new Candy Machine uses an improved procedure that consumes a fixed amount of compute units regardless of the number of items and, at the same time, shuffles the values to improve their unpredictability.
