Paima Studios Enhances Cardano NFT Functionality
Paima Studios has developed a solution that allows Cardano’s Plutus smart contracts to directly access transaction metadata, overcoming a significant limitation that previously hindered the functionality of NFTs and other decentralized applications.
We managed to get a Cardano Plutus script to validate CIP25 metadata 🔥
Big implications, and enables many new use-cases:
・NFT AMMs (not easily doable in EVM!)
・New interop standards
・Onchain gamesand we just open-sourced it🫡
How did we achieve this? ↓🧵— Sebastien Guillemot (@SebastienGllmt)

By enabling direct access to metadata through the transaction hash, this approach bypasses the previous complications and limitations of the CIP25 and CIP68 standards.
Additionally, this new method reduces the costs associated with transactions by minimizing the use of UTXOs, effectively cutting expenses in half compared to the previous CIP68 standard.
The breakthrough from Paima Studios is poised to boost the development and deployment of NFTs and decentralized apps on Cardano, making the blockchain more appealing to developers and users alike.
