gm, the official MPL goal for this year is more efficient transaction building

Drop your favorite “aha” moment building with @metaplex. Whether it's Core plugins, cNFT infra, DAS indexing, let’s swap cheat codes 🧠⚡.

I got 99 problems and autogenerated code is responsible for all of them.

Steam used Summer Sale to test their sales infra. Amazon uses Prime Day to test their marketplace infra. Solana should have a Solana Summer period with free transactions and half price rent.

TLDR:. If your GDD reads like a DeFi paper, you’re building finance with a skin, not a game with a heart. Fun First.

@metaplex digital economies will shine if used correctly.• Fast, cheap Core mints for artifacts that change and progress.• Open, programmable NFT items.• Permissionless markets for expression using fungibles.• Session keys to make the UX easy for Web2 users.

Bust out of the casino rut with novel, interesting tokenization mechanics.• Skill-expressive loops.• Asynchronous PvP (ghosts, daily seeds).• Co-op > wagers.• Creator modes (UGC you can own).• Cosmetic economies, not pay-to-win.

If tokenization is the first aspect of your game that you're designing, you're doing it wrong. Build Order should be:.1.Core feel (moment-to-moment).2.Meta progression (reasons to return).3.Ownership/Economy (Web3 enrichment). If #1 is weak, #3 becomes a liability.

Tokens are a tool, and should be treated as such. They should be used only to amplify what already exists. They should augment existing game functionality. Good game → tokens make it great.Mid game → tokens speed up the flop. Design for fun first. Finance later.

Thus far it's seemed like the most successful games on Solana have been glorified casino games. If we want real players we need to escape the gambling gravity well. We need games that are fun without a token, with tokenization only amplifying the fun.

MISRA-coded. Recursion is bad.

TL;DR: Genesis isn’t “just a presale machine.” It’s a fair-launch and price-discovery toolkit that helps OTOs succeed. If you’re designing a launch, start with the problem you’re solving, then pick the mechanic. Genesis gives you the options, cleanly and composably.

How it feels to users:. Join pool → see share accrue over time → window closes → allocation is computed → settle. Clear, calm, and transparent, not a bloodbath at T+0.

Why Launchpool fixes fairness:.•No click race. Participation window > single block. •Sybil friction. Optional gating & contribution caps. •Alignment. Stronger commitments ⇒ larger share. •Predictability. Everyone sees their evolving allocation.

Launchpool = fair allocation over fast fingers. Participants commit funds to a pool over a window. Allocation becomes pro-rata based on participation; so showing up and sticking around matters more than botting the first block.

Think of Genesis as a menu of launch primitives you can compose: presale, Launchpool, Auction, allowlists, caps, contribution windows, and more. All configurable to match your asset, community, and project goals. It's not just preconfigured recipe.

The real problems most teams hit:.•First-come-first-serve click races.•Bot/sniper advantage.•Whales dominating allocation.•Opaque, chaotic pricing. Genesis attacks these directly with mechanics, not buzzword soup.

Metaplex Genesis has had two seamless, sold out presales so far, and handled huge token demand without breaking a sweat. But Genesis wasn’t just built for “fast sellouts.” It’s also designed to solve fair launch and price discovery in a modular, onchain way.
