Core - Adding Plugins

Plugins can be assigned to both the MPL Core Asset and also the MPL Core Collection. MPL Core Asset and MPL Core Collection both share a similar list of available plugins. To find out which plugins can be used on each visit the Plugins Overview area.

Adding a Plugin to a Core Asset

Plugins support the ability to assign an authority over the plugin. If an initAuthority argument is supplied this will set the authority to the desired plugin authority type. If left unassigned the plugins default authority type will be assigned (next section).

Create Plugin Helper

The createPlugin() helper gives you a typed method that allows you to assign plugins during the addPlugin() process. For a full list of plugins and their arguments see the plugins overview page.

Adding a Plugin with the default authority

If you add a plugin to an Asset or Collection without specifying the authority of the plugin the authority will be set to that plugins default authority type.

Owner Managed Plugins will default to the plugin authority type of Owner.
Authority Managed Plugins will default to the plugin authority type of UpdateAuthority.
Permanent Plugins will default to the plugin authority type of UpdateAuthority

Adding a Plugin with the default authority

import { publicKey } from '@metaplex-foundation/umi'
import { addPlugin } from '@metaplex-foundation/mpl-core'

const assetId = publicKey('11111111111111111111111111111111')

await addPlugin(umi, {
  asset: assetId,
  plugin: {
    type: 'Attributes',
    attributeList: [{ key: 'key', value: 'value' }],
  },
}).sendAndConfirm(umi)

Adding a Plugin with an assigned authority

There are a few authority helpers to aid you in setting the authorities of plugins.

Address

await addPlugin(umi, {
    ...
    plugin: {
      ...
      authority: {
        type: 'Address',
        address: publicKey('22222222222222222222222222222222'),
      },
    },
  }).sendAndConfirm(umi);

This sets the plugin's authority to a specific address.

Owner

await addPlugin(umi, {
    ...
    plugin: {
      ...
      authority: {
        type: 'Owner'
      },
    },
  }).sendAndConfirm(umi);

This sets the plugin's authority to the type of Owner. The current owner of the Asset will have access to this plugin.

UpdateAuthority

await addPlugin(umi, {
    ...
    plugin: {
      ...
      authority: {
        type: "UpdateAuthority",
      },
    },
  }).sendAndConfirm(umi);

This sets the plugin's authority to the type of UpdateAuthority. The current update authority of the Asset will have access to this plugin.

None

await addPlugin(umi, {
    ...
    plugin: {
      ...
      authority: {
        type: "None",
      },
    },
  }).sendAndConfirm(umi);

This sets the plugin's authority to the type of None. The plugin's data if it has any becomes immutable at this point.

Adding a Plugin with an assigned authority

use mpl_core::{
    instructions::AddPluginV1Builder,
    types::{FreezeDelegate, Plugin, PluginAuthority},
};
use solana_client::nonblocking::rpc_client;
use solana_sdk::{pubkey::Pubkey, signature::Keypair, signer::Signer, transaction::Transaction};
use std::str::FromStr;

pub async fn add_plugin_with_authority() {
    let rpc_client = rpc_client::RpcClient::new("https://api.devnet.solana.com".to_string());

    let authority = Keypair::new();
    let asset = Pubkey::from_str("11111111111111111111111111111111").unwrap();

    let plugin_authority = Pubkey::from_str("22222222222222222222222222222222").unwrap();

    let add_plugin_with_authority_ix = AddPluginV1Builder::new()
        .asset(asset)
        .payer(authority.pubkey())
        .plugin(Plugin::FreezeDelegate(FreezeDelegate { frozen: false }))
        .init_authority(PluginAuthority::Address {
            address: plugin_authority,
        })
        .instruction();

    let signers = vec![&authority];

    let last_blockhash = rpc_client.get_latest_blockhash().await.unwrap();

    let add_plugin_with_authority_tx = Transaction::new_signed_with_payer(
        &[add_plugin_with_authority_ix],
        Some(&authority.pubkey()),
        &signers,
        last_blockhash,
    );

    let res = rpc_client
        .send_and_confirm_transaction(&add_plugin_with_authority_tx)
        .await
        .unwrap();

    println!("Signature: {:?}", res)
}

Adding a Plugin to a Collection

Adding a Plugin to a Core Collection is similar to that of adding to a Core Asset. You can add plugins during creation and also using the addCollectionV1 instruction. Collections only have access to Authority Plugins and Permanent Plugins.

Adding a Collection Plugin with the default authority

import { publicKey } from '@metaplex-foundation/umi'
import { addCollectionPlugin, ruleSet } from '@metaplex-foundation/mpl-core'

const collection = publicKey('11111111111111111111111111111111')

const creator = publicKey('22222222222222222222222222222222')

await addCollectionPlugin(umi, {
  collection: collection,
  plugin: {
    type: 'Royalties',
    data: {
      basisPoints: 5000,
      creators: [
        {
          address: creator,
          percentage: 100,
        },
      ],
      ruleSet: ruleSet('None'),
    },
  },
}).sendAndConfirm(umi)

Adding a Collection Plugin with an assigned authority

Burning an Assets

import { publicKey } from '@metaplex-foundation/umi'
import {
  addCollectionPlugin,
  ruleSet,
} from '@metaplex-foundation/mpl-core'

const collection = publicKey('11111111111111111111111111111111')
const delegate = publicKey('22222222222222222222222222222222')

await addCollectionPlugin(umi, {
  collection: collection.publicKey,
  plugin: {
    type: 'Attributes',
    attributeList: [{ key: 'key', value: 'value' }],
    authority: {
      type: 'Address',
      address: delegate,
    },
  },
}).sendAndConfirm(umi)
