Solana Minter
My program used to mint Amoebits & Amoebit Minis. I wrote it from scratch using the hello-world program as an example & base.
Features
- Cheap deployment costs (~2.5 solana)
- Linear mint indexes. I looked into how metaplex / candy machine works & it's not random at all & has lead to the mass botting we've seen today.
- Web3 enforced WL tokens. WL tokens can double as discount tokens.
- Calculate gas fees out of price, so the mint price is exactly correct.
- No master edition info created - no more wasted gas storing nothing. Projects launch every day that waste 20+ solana in gas a piece
- Metadata control - you can easily make changes later if you need.
Caveats
- Meatadata URI may need to be updated post-mint to be hosted elsewhere, like Arweave or any 3rd party host. Still cheaper than storing all the config on chain.
