**Forgeries - ALL are FAKE except ONE** is the debut release for Omega, a brand new public goods hyperstructure deployed on Ethereum by [Gami](https://twitter.com/0xigami), [Iain](https://twitter.com/isiain), [Emre](https://twitter.com/emrecolako) and [Jordan](https://twitter.com/jordanpunzalann) – ie. Omega is the console and Forgeries is a cartridge.

## 💽 Forgeries

Inspired by MSCHF's drop, [Museum of Forgeries](https://moforgeries.org/), we're effectively mixing the real Noun 401 into an open edition of exact forgeries. Once the drop is complete, minters authenticate through a Japanese gameshow style experience.

What we have built to power Forgeries is open source and free to use. Anyone can deploy their own contracts from Omega to create unique experiences. Everything is fair, transparent and verifiably random thanks to [Chainlink VRF](https://chain.link/vrf)!

## 📺 Omega

An extensive [public audit contest](https://code4rena.com/contests/2022-12-forgeries-contest) was completed on code4rena, with 77 auditors earning their share of a 36,500 USDC prize pool. Since then we’ve implemented patches for all vulnerabilities found, made various optimisations and prepared the protocol for mainnet. All of the code is open source and can be found in [this GitHub repo](https://github.com/0xigami/forgeries-contracts).

Our vision is a multiplayer future for crypto and we firmly believe NFTs are the building blocks. By providing public goods infrastructure to the community we can empower developers, artists, collectors, projects and DAOs to unlock a new design space for creative onchain experiences. 

## 💾 C:ollab 

We are fostering a supportive community around Omega and look forward to helping fund the creation of new experiences. Prop House infinite rounds will provide the ideal platform, while our editions will function well as voting tokens.

[Permissionless collabs](https://permissionlesscollabs.com) (if you're installed, you're in) and in future, perhaps, a nounish DAO to serve as the steward of our new protocol. But first there are various upgrades and extensions we have planned to make the system as trustless as possible.

We've been working on some very nounish expansion packs for Omega and would love if nounsfolk came to explore with us. Our use of a merkle root layer means that myriad onchain games where it's "last man standing" are made possible – Onchain Multiplayer Ether Gaming Action!
