What a cNFT is

A cNFT (compressed non‑fungible token) combines a standard NFT with an airdrop distribution. It shifts most deployment and minting costs from the collection owner to end users, which helps when a collection targets a large audience.

​
How it differs from a standard NFT

  1. The collection contract pre‑commits future owners by storing a Merkle root for the allowlist. You can read it via the get method get_merkle_root (see Merkle proofs).
  2. Any user can deploy NFT item by sending the deploy message with a valid Merkle proof. The collection accepts a deploy from any sender as long as the proof matches the stored root.
