How Solana Changed NFT Economics
Sub-cent fees, 400ms blocks, and compressed NFTs unlocked entirely new mint mechanics. Here's what's working in 2026.
Solana's per-transaction cost and finality have shifted what creators can do with NFTs. Sub-cent fees let us mint per-action collectibles, and 400ms blocks make in-game economies feel real-time.
Compressed NFTs (cNFTs) push this further by making 1M-supply drops feasible. The result is a new design space for everything from event tickets to skill trees.
