Digital Asset Standard (DAS) API

The state data of uncompressed NFTs is all stored in on-chain accounts. This is expensive at scale. Compressed NFTs save space by encoding the state data into an on-chain Merkle tree. The detailed account data is not stored on-chain, but in data stores managed by RPC providers. The Metaplex Digital Asset Standard (DAS) API represents a unified interface for interacting with digital assets on Solana, supporting standard (Token Metadata), compressed (Bubblegum) and next-generation Core assets.

The RPC methods currently supported are:

• getAsset - Return the metadata information of a compressed/standard asset
• getAssetBatch - Return the metadata information of a compressed/standard asset for many assets
• getAssetProof - Return the merkle tree proof information for a compressed asset
• getAssetProofBatch - Return the merkle tree proof information for many compressed assets
• getAssetsByAuthority -Return the list of assets given an authority address
• getAssetsByOwner - Return the list of assets given an owner address
• getAssetsByGroup - Return the list of assets given a group (key, value) pair
• getGrouping - Return the size of the asset group
• getAssetsByCreator - Return the list of assets given a creator address
• searchAssets - Return the list of assets given a search criteria
• getTokenAccounts - Return the list of token accounts given an owner or mint address
• getSignaturesForAsset - Return the list of signatures given a compressed asset address
• getSignaturesForAssetV2 - Updated version of getSignaturesForAsset endpoint
