Solarians switch new mints to the Metaplex NFT format

On August 3, 2021, Solarians stopped minting 9-decimal tokens: #5766, minted at 07:42 UTC, was the last of them, and #5767, minted at 07:52 UTC, was a zero-decimal token with Metaplex metadata. Between 07:26 and 14:57 UTC the team gave the earlier 9-decimal Solarians Metaplex metadata, and at 20:21 UTC it posted "Your beloved Solarians are now showing up in @phantom". The 9-decimal tokens could not take a master edition, the record that locks a Metaplex NFT's supply at one, and the new mints only got one in April 2022. In 2022 the team minted zero-decimal replacements, and from April 27 holders could swap their 9-decimal tokens for them; about a third had been swapped by October 2026.
