Bubblegum - Updating Compressed NFTs

The Update instruction can be used to modify the metadata of a Compressed NFT. The Merkle root is updated to reflect the propagated hash of the data, and RPC providers who conform to the Metaplex DAS API will update their index of the cNFTs.

The metadata can be updated by one of two authorities, depending on if the compressed NFT is a verified item in a collection.

As the Tree Owner

If there is no verified collection set, the Tree Owner is the authority that is permissioned to call Update

Update a Compressed NFT as the Tree Owner

import {
  updateMetadata,
  UpdateArgsArgs,
  getCurrentRoot,
} from '@metaplex-foundation/mpl-bubblegum'

// Then we can use it to update metadata for the NFT.
const updateArgs: UpdateArgsArgs = {
  name: some('New name'),
  uri: some('https://updated-example.com/my-nft.json'),
}

await updateMetadata(umi, {
  leafOwner,
  merkleTree,
  root: getCurrentRoot(merkleTreeAccount.tree),
  nonce: leafIndex,
  index: leafIndex,
  currentMetadata: metadata,
  proof: [],
  updateArgs,
  }).sendAndConfirm(umi);

This can also be done using the getAssetWithProof helper method:

Update a Compressed NFT as the Tree Owner using Helper Method

import {
  getAssetWithProof,
  updateMetadata,
  UpdateArgsArgs,
} from '@metaplex-foundation/mpl-bubblegum'

// Use the helper to fetch the proof.
const assetWithProof = await getAssetWithProof(umi, assetId)

// Then we can use it to update metadata for the NFT.
const updateArgs: UpdateArgsArgs = {
  name: some('New name'),
  uri: some('https://updated-example.com/my-nft.json'),
}

await updateMetadata(umi, {
  ...assetWithProof,
  leafOwner,
  currentMetadata: metadata,
  updateArgs,
}).sendAndConfirm(umi)

As the Collection Update Authority

If the verified collection is set, then the Collection Update Authority is the only authority that is permissioned to call Update

Update a Compressed NFT as the Collection Update Authority

import {
  updateMetadata,
  UpdateArgsArgs,
  getCurrentRoot,
} from '@metaplex-foundation/mpl-bubblegum'
import { findMetadataPda } from '@metaplex-foundation/mpl-token-metadata'

// Then we can use it to update metadata for the NFT.
const updateArgs: UpdateArgsArgs = {
  name: some('New name'),
  uri: some('https://updated-example.com/my-nft.json'),
}
await updateMetadata(umi, {
  leafOwner,
  merkleTree,
  root: getCurrentRoot(merkleTreeAccount.tree),
  nonce: leafIndex,
  index: leafIndex,
  currentMetadata: metadata,
  proof: [],
  updateArgs,
  authority: collectionAuthority,
  collectionMint: collectionMint.publicKey,
}).sendAndConfirm(umi)

This can also be done using the getAssetWithProof helper method:
