WNS Introduction

The Wen New Standard NFT architecture is a wrapper around the Solana Token Extensions program that enables traditional NFT functionality using native Solana Programs rather than Third Party Extensions.

The key advantages to using WNS are the following:

• Lower fees - Minting a WNS NFT costs 0.01 SOL roughly and is entirely closable (meaning refundable), alternative implementations (other than compressed) cost 3x as much with only 1/3 of the value refundable.

• Built for the future - Built from the ground up with Token Extensions, WNS will give creators the most viable option for any aveneue they are perusing.

• Limited reliance on third-party contracts - The majority of WNS functionality is purely derived from Solana native code which is foundational to Solana.
