Introduction

Overview

The leading minting and distribution program for fair NFT launches on Solana.

Metaplex Candy Machine is a tool that allows creators to sell or distribute large-scale NFT collections by simplifying complex processes and adding customizable rules such as time gates, supply limits, and anti-bot protections to ensure fair access for every buyer.

As the name suggests, its mechanism works like a candy machine: creators load it with candies (NFTs), and buyers obtain them, without possibility of choosing, by paying SOL or SPL tokens.

Note: This is the Metaplex Core version of Candy Machine, if you want to mint Metaplex Token Metadata NFTs please refer to Candy Machine V3 instead
