xpress is the engine behind the Launchpad, available as a standalone tool. It validates, generates, hashes, deploys, and verifies NFT collections on Octra per the Metadata Standard. The same core powers the in-app Launch wizard and the CLI, so a collection that passes xpress renders on Xpectrum.
It exists so that people who do not trust Xpectrum can still check Xpectrum: every step is re-derivable from public on-chain data.
The package and its source are being prepared for public release. Install and repository links will be published here. Until then, the Launchpad runs the same engine end to end.
The flow
1
Generate (optional)
Build all token JSONs and
collection.json from exact rarity quotas, pinned 1/1s, and pairing rules. Quotas are promises: “10 legendaries” means exactly 10, with computed rarity percentages. Infeasible configs fail at validation, never on-chain.2
Check
Validate schema, token continuity (
0.json..(N-1).json), trait coverage, slug collisions, and the size budget. Nothing goes on-chain until this is clean.3
Hash
Compute the provenance hash from local bytes. The creator commits it on-chain with
set_provenance_hash(hash) before mint opens. From that moment the assignment is locked.4
Deploy
Provision the Circle and publish the collection. The rarity-revealing metadata is held back until reveal so nobody can read rarity during the mint.
5
Verify (anyone, forever)
Re-download the collection from chain, recompute the hash, and compare it to
get_provenance_hash(). The result is cryptographic: VERIFIED or NOT VERIFIED.CLI shape
verify is the important one. It is proven end to end against live chain state: a collection generated, deployed, its provenance hash committed on an Xcollection contract, and verify returning VERIFIED off live chain state, while correctly returning NOT VERIFIED for a tampered collection.
