Some lecture notes for the spaces.

Let’s talk all things hybrid. x.com/i/spaces/1BdxYrVYYkQKX

We are launching LibrePlex Pipelines today. Pipelines allow existing collections / hashlists to be migrated into Liquid Hybrid tokens. The newly created Hybrids are backed by a trustless liquidity pool with permanently locked liquidity. More details to follow throughout today. @whoelsebutSB - thank you for the video production!

Dear all - deflationary dynamics powered by Token-2022 Transfer Fee Extension have now been deployed to LibrePlex fair launch contracts. The latest and the greatest can be found at github.com/LibrePlex/librepl… along with anchor-generated IDLs. Any feedback / flame / bug reports etc are most welcome!

We're seeing pretty much ecosystem wide adoption for token-2022 Metadata. For asset owners, it's a quantum leap because you actually retain the ownership of your assets. No third party program grabs them or freezes them. It's doing what metadata should do, and not confusing metadata with ownership. For devs, it's beautiful to work with. Everything sits on a single account - no auxiliary PDAs. Apart from base metadata, there is also support for collections aka groups (rolling out around March). Multiple scanners already support T22 Metadata (at least @LibrePlex, @FluxBeamDEX and @nickfrosty 's latest). Degen marketplaces are jumping on the train as well together with DeFi platforms. Would be great if @JupiterExchange jumped on board though and allowed token-2022 fungibles on the strict list! What's really missing atm is wallet adoption - @solflare_wallet you should look into this. It's dead simple. Otherwise *somebody* will just have to push a PR into backpack :D

Announcing the LibrePlex Fair Launch Update! Introduces 2 new features to the Fair Launch program: 1. Token2022 Support - you can now mint SPL20s using the Token2022 standard. This is the fee-free and permissive NFT standard made by @solanalabs. This will reduce the cost of inscribing SPL20s. 2. Creator Fees - SPL20 ticker deployers can now opt to add a small fee to their mints. Each SPL20 inscribed will provide a small earning to the creator which can be used for liquidity pool provisions and other project building utilities.

LibrePlex scanner now fully supports Token-2022 metadata standard (Solana native, open-license and free). Metaplex support will of course continue for backwards compatibility. libreplex.io/scanner?mintId=…

**ANNOUNCEMENT** *Token-2022 COMPATIBLE FAIR LAUNCH AND THE NEXT STEPS FOR LIBREPLEX* Given that Solana token-2022 (aka Token Extensions) audits are now complete and token-2022 supports native metadata, the best way for LibrePlex to support fee-free and permissive-license metadata protocols is to give our full support to token-2022 from @solanalabs. One of the very cool things about token-2022 is that it's built entirely around interfaces - that means no more vendor lock-in when creating metadata. It really opens up the playing field for everybody. Token-2022 is also licensed under Apache 2.0 which makes us at LibrePlex very happy. Token-2022 functionality overview NOW audited and deployed Basic NFT / SPL Metadata (name, symbol, json url) SOON already built but not audited Collections THE FUTURE still needs to be built Royalty enforcement, on-chain attributes, digital asset licensing, dynamic rendering etc etc Going forward, LibrePlex will focus on building / assisting to build any metadata extensions within the Token-2022 framework and on raising awareness of the possibilities of the new token standard. Token-2022 Fair Launch To coincide with this announcement, we have today released a version of the FairLaunch contract that produces Token-2022 metadata. When creating new fair launches, you will now be able to choose Token-2022 mints. For legacy / backwards compatibility, we will of course continue to support Metaplex NFTs as well. Inscriptions and SPL-20 To be clear, LibrePlex Inscriptions are already fully compatible with both Token-2022 and Metaplex. The new Fair Launch is FULLY COMPATIBLE WITH SPL-20 style launches. We are therefore well placed to tackle the next, exciting phase in Solana metadata. The importance of Token-2022 cannot be overstated: it is an inevitable and crucial step towards vendor-independence, decentralisation and community ownership in Solana. We believe it will be enormously beneficial to NFT, DeFi and Developer communities alike.

Dear all - there may be a little bit of downtime on libreplex.io today as we migrate hosting!

Inscriptions on Solana open up a new world of possibilities and potential use-cases. Here are a few to get you started! What use-cases are you interested in seeing?

So what is LibrePlex? LibrePlex is an organization made up of contributors who build open source protocols for solana. The group originally started out with a goal of building a free, open source alternative metadata standard for solana NFTs but grew out into building other protocols based on community feedback and demand. We are here to build and grow the pie for everyone in the ecosystem. Currently we have 2 protocol releases, with a third one on the way.

**PLEASE DO NOT SEND ANY MORE ANYTHING.** We now have so much TESTNET (=FAKE) sol that we will probably never be able to use it all. Thank you everybody for contributing 🩷 If you accidentally sent MAINNET (=REAL) SOL, please get in touch on discord with the transaction ID and we will refund. Any MAINNET SOL unclaimed before 31 December 2023 will be used for community audit bounties.
