During #solanaszn ,🌴is just an excuse to #buidl without the meetings. On @baalazamon and my 🌴, we built the @metaplex NFT Candy Machine. @AuroryProject will be the first to use it. Fully on-chain generative NFT distribution. No refunds required, you only pay for what you get.

If you are launching generative NFTs on @Solana and you aren’t planning to use a contract now that it’s freely available, it looks very sketchy. It’s a new era post- @AuroryProject and having customers send sol to a wallet in exchange for a promise of an NFT is no longer kosher.

Want to avoid bots in your mint? Try #FairLaunchProtocol . Between the non-refundable fee, & that the bots now have to work with balancing that fee with the ever-increasing size of the lottery and their chances of winning, it's a different beast than just jamming a mint button.

FWIW, @SolanaMBS monkes are NOT NFTs by the @metadata standard. They have Metadata accounts, but not Master Editions. This makes them SFTs - which means at any time, the mint auth (dev) can freeze your token in place, and mint copies of it that have the same mint ID.
