Custom Program ID in the mint test #5

Closed gvko closed 2 years ago

gvko commented 2 years ago

Hey guys! I found your repo from your Medium tutorial! Great tutorial, very helpful!

I wanted to ask about this specific line.

When I substitute the ID with my custom program ID (the one I got once I did anchor build & anchor deploy) - it doesn't work anymore. I still have to use the one provided in your code.

Do you know why is that happening? Both IDs are of an executable Program. The only difference I found is that the one you provide the ID of in your code also has Public name: Metaplex Token Metadata, when observed on the Solana block explorer.

SOL block explorer for Program provided in your code SOL block explorer for Program deployed by me

@gvko that id is not supposed to be used in place of your program id thats the metaplex program which your invoking

@anoushk1234 What does that mean exactly? I guess I'm having lack of understanding, cuz I'm confused. The program that I deploy is the program that mints my tokens, right? Something like a smart contract on ETH. What does the metaplex program has to do in this whole process?

gvko commented 2 years ago

I'm asking this because I'd like to understand how the process works under the hood, but not be just a minting user. Why do we need the metaplex program? In the Metaplex project, is the Candy Machine just a name for a smart contract that mints the tokens? How is it used under the hood?

checkout https://docs.metaplex.com it explains what metaplex and candymachine is

your program is minting the token but metaplex is used to convert it to an nft standard with metadata thats recognized universally

@anoushk1234 , maybe a few last questions:

  1. this Metaplex program was deployed by the Metaplex team on devnet, right?
  2. is there such a program on mainnet as well?
  3. if I create/deploy my own Candy Machine - is that going to be the program minting the token or is it going to be the program creating the associated accounts (like in your tutorial)?

Thanks a lot for your help! 🙏

yes deployed on devnet, yes its there on mainnet, it will be minting the token if u use candymachine

What is the address of it on mainnet? Or where/how can I find it?

Same as the devnet address
