How to Store Solana NFTs On-Chain - A Brief Overview
summary
Explains that NFTs on Solana separate token metadata from the asset and demonstrates a working method: Block Rons stores images as SVG strings inside individual Solana accounts, links tokens to those accounts by appending a Solana address to the URI so wallets still read metadata, and uses a data URL SVG trick to keep image and JSON in one account. Gives numbers: Cryptopunks moved on-chain at huge gas cost (~$75M), simple 10 KB pixel art costs ~0.7 SOL, 10 MB high‑res costs ~70 SOL and rent is reclaimable. Mentions Hyperglyphs, Cod Canvas and libx as other Solana on‑chain projects.
