IRL (In Real Life) is an independent project. It takes the logic behind RWA — Real World Assets — and sets out to build the starting point for something new on top of it. We are the first to try it, and our aim has been to develop both the idea and the technology behind it.
Much like the Internet of Things, the idea of objects meeting the blockchain is not something people are used to yet. But $IRL3 is already opening the door to the infrastructure people will be using a year from now.
Turning a real banana into a Web3 $BTC, $ETH or $SOL wallet, or into a
@Pumpfun token, may not look like much today. As people get used to this and build on it, it goes a great deal further.
We published the technology on our GitHub as OBJ and Wallet — open source, able to run locally on your own machine. The next step is to design the whole system to run as a Solana program. Our aim is not to keep pushing $IRL3. It is to find out whether the IRL technology actually works, and then to make it better.
What we want to ship this week
Phantom shows a risk warning when you deploy a token on the IRL Launchpad. We are going to get that cleared up.
Every scanned object will automatically become a token. That takes the deploy fee out of a launch and lets the object be traded directly. Launchpad usage is what drives IRL usage.
Object NFTs
Turning a scanned object into an NFT is live now. Opening those NFTs to a marketplace matters for the technology and for $IRL3 alike.
The object NFTs are built on Metaplex Core. They will soon carry value in SOL and be directly tradable. To put it plainly: scan a real watch and it becomes a unique NFT, and that object can never be made into an NFT by anyone else again. You will be able to trade these on NFT marketplaces.
Your support is what gets IRL technology a foothold in Web3. Scan an object. Deploy a token or an NFT. Back us on X.
