# Hyperfy Discord - 2025-01-09 ## Overall Discussion Highlights ### Hyperfy v2 Development - **Open Source Release**: Hyperfy v2 has been open-sourced on GitHub, allowing developers to build and host their own worlds - **Technical Architecture**: The platform is designed to be lightweight ("runs on a potato") while supporting complex interactions - **Performance**: Impressive mesh instancing capabilities with little overhead, supporting thousands of the same mesh - **Deployment Options**: Community members are deploying v2 instances using Docker, VPS hosting, and nginx configurations - **Browser-Based Access**: Worlds can be accessed directly through browsers without downloads or wallet connections - **Cross-Platform**: The platform is device-agnostic, working on any device that can handle HTTP requests, including VR support - **Core Features**: Developers have implemented chat functionality, admin controls, and object manipulation (move, duplicate, delete) - **Community Documentation**: A shared hackmd document has been created for collaborative documentation of findings ### Token ($HYPER) Discussion - **Price Action**: The token experienced significant volatility, dropping to around $0.07 before recovering - **Airdrop Claims**: Unclaimed airdrop tokens (for v1 NFT holders and eligible ai16z token holders) will be burned after the January 12th deadline - **Token Distribution**: DAO controls 30% of supply for community initiatives, while founder allocations (15%) are vested over 3 years - **Utility Development**: The team is working on integrating tokens into the open source codebase, expected in about a month - **Registration Process**: Users must register ETH and SOL addresses on Hyperfy.io/airdrop, wait 24 hours, then claim on Hyperfy.xyz/claim ### Upcoming Features - **AI Integration**: The team is working on Eliza AI agent integration, allowing AI characters to roam worlds and interact with users - **In-Browser Coding**: v2 will include in-browser coding capabilities to streamline development - **Physics & Scaling**: Enhanced physics and maps that scale were mentioned as upcoming technical features - **Voice Chat**: Implementation of voice chat using LiveKit is planned ## Key Questions & Answers ### Technical - **Q**: How do I move objects vertically in v2? **A**: Hold shift and move the mouse (Ashxn) - **Q**: Will it be possible to have mesh instances in worlds? **A**: Everything is automatically instanced by default with little overhead (Ashxn) - **Q**: Does hyperfy multiplayer implement "network lods"? **A**: Not yet, but development is heading there. Currently happy with 100-300 concurrent users (Ashxn) - **Q**: How do I fix mouse control issues in the local development environment? **A**: In v2, you need to hold right-click to look around, unlike v1 which automatically locks the pointer (Saori/ash) - **Q**: Is VR support currently available on hyperfy? **A**: Yes, 100% VR supported. The platform is remarkably device agnostic (maximus) ### Token & Ecosystem - **Q**: What is the role/usage of the token in the ecosystem? **A**: The team has "cool ideas for how tokens can be used in the open source codebase" with implementation expected in about a month (Saori) - **Q**: Why was the airdrop claim extended? **A**: Many supporters hadn't been paying attention and only had a month to submit (Saori) - **Q**: Can you share transaction where 15% founder supply was locked? **A**: The biggest wallets are on Streamflow with a 9%, 4%, 1%, 1% split on 3-year linear vesting (Saori) - **Q**: Will v1 be converted to v2 worlds? **A**: No, the ETH NFT v1 worlds will remain in Hyperfy.io and will not have utility for v2 (maximus) - **Q**: How do I prevent people posting illegal stuff in worlds? **A**: For now, worlds are self-hosted so publishers would be liable for illegal content (Saori) ## Community Help & Collaboration ### Technical Implementations - **peezy** created detailed documentation for VPS deployment with HTTPS, including firewall setup and domain configuration - **~/HowiEDuhzit** created and shared a Docker setup with compose file and published image - **HPrivakos** provided code fix to add host: "0.0.0.0" to the fastify.listen call to fix localhost binding issues - **HPrivakos** created and submitted PR #2 for adding names in chat, which was merged - **MetaMike** created a hackmd document for the community to document their findings and breakthroughs ### Token & Airdrop Support - **PabloFM** helped **bard ionson** confirm that the airdrop works with Hyperfy NFTs on ETH if they had it on December 7th - **Jona** provided links to relevant information for **samgittis.eth** who confirmed successful airdrop claim - **maximus** helped multiple users understand the 3-step process for claiming eligible tokens - **VTATV** advised **heavydev** to use PC or laptop instead of mobile for claiming the airdrop ### Platform Usage - **Ashxn** explained to **SotoAlt** that objects spawning in the sky was likely due to GLB files not having a good origin point - **Lastraum** confirmed to **vincentskele** that basic setup works on Digital Ocean droplets without modifications - **ash** helped **MetaMike** with mesh placement constraints by suggesting a transparent ground mesh ## Action Items ### Technical - Implement persistence for world objects so builds survive reboots (Ashxn) - Add app infrastructure from reference implementation (Ashxn) - Implement network optimizations for high CCU (concurrent users) (Ashxn) - Add collisions to dropped GLB models (Ashxn) - Fix bug where server crashes when duplicating a model that's still uploading (Ashxn) - Add command to change avatar spawn position (Ashxn) - Implement Q and E keys for crosswalking (W+A / W+E movements) (vincentskele) - Add mobile controls (SotoAlt) - Implement in-browser coding for v2 to streamline development process (labmgr) - Complete Eliza AI agent integration for roaming characters in worlds (Ashxn) - Add voice capabilities to AI agents in v2 (Ashxn) - Improve navigation for AI agents in v2 (Ashxn) - Add indicators or error messages for worlds that are desktop-only (Uuuuuuuuu) - Optimize performance for avatars in VR (maximus) - Implement token utility in the open source codebase (expected in about a month) (Saori) - Add contract address to main website with link to tokenomics (Uuuuuuuuu) - Create LORA stickers with Hyperfy avatar emotes (Saori) - Fix batch processing for wallet registrations to resolve "not eligible" errors (maximus) - Address wallet connect issues with the registration site (maximus) - Implement permissions and persistence for world building (ash) - Fix issue with mesh placement constraints when base mesh is deleted (MetaMike) - Resolve custom VRM avatar rendering issues (deniz) - Recreate audio reactivity in Hyperfy V2 (mattimus) - Evolve cross-world connect flow to support all chains and web2 beyond initial Phantom implementation (ash) ### Documentation - Create comprehensive documentation for v2 (MetaMike) - Create comprehensive documentation for v2 development (Ashxn) - Add documentation for setting up worlds with AI agents (terranosaurusrx) - Create guides for optimizing worlds for mobile devices (Uuuuuuuuu) - Create informative videos explaining what Hyperfy is (Uuuuuuuuu) - Develop tutorials for V2 workflow (Sceth iii) - Update Twitter/X handle with project information (Jeph) - Document differences between V1 and V2 controls (Saori) - Create documentation for world design in V2 (vincentrobo) - Correct tweet to show only the version with the readme (Saori) ### Features - Create "export to hyperfy" plugin for Blender (maximus) - Add skybox functionality (Sceth iii) - Implement different world modes (co-op multiplayer, plot-based builds) (SotoAlt) - Add UI editor for creating 2D UIs in Hyperfy worlds (szjanko) - Implement voice chat using LiveKit (Ashxn) - Implement domain/URL customization service for worlds (Lastraum) - Add functionality to integrate external AI agents beyond Eliza (Uuuuuuuuu) - Develop token-based voting system for DAO governance (peezy) - Create a service to easily spin up v2 worlds similar to WordPress (maximus) - Implement token utility within the platform ecosystem (c0xswain) - Implement a role for users holding 100k+ tokens (Multiple users) - Register token on CoinMarketCap (WarfreakzPlays) - Implement pets functionality in V2 (maximus) - Implement scripting capabilities through apps (Saori)
