# Factory Program

Controlled SONIC deployment, mint-staging, metadata and authority-finalization program contract with explicit production-verification gates.

**Configured program ID:** `CsbeqzYW6Mn4Zg9JkACkiEgrkh7zKjYXqKmVrhR2RtT4`\
**Mainnet deployment:** **TBA / unverified**\
**Explorer:** [Open configured address on Solscan](https://solscan.io/account/CsbeqzYW6Mn4Zg9JkACkiEgrkh7zKjYXqKmVrhR2RtT4)

### ⚙️ Responsibility

The configured `factory` program is intended to support controlled deployment workflows such as:

* deployment policy;
* mint/token creation staging;
* metadata staging;
* authority finalization;
* release-bound deployment references.

### 🔐 Identity boundary

Creating or staging a mint does **not** establish production SONIC identity. Production identity requires the resulting token program/standard, mint address, decimals, authorities and supply to match the approved deployment registry and finalized Solana state.

### 🚦 Deployment status

| Check                                | State                       |
| ------------------------------------ | --------------------------- |
| Configured program ID                | **Configured**              |
| Approved executable artifact         | **TBA**                     |
| Devnet deployment verification       | **TBA**                     |
| Mainnet-beta executable verification | **TBA**                     |
| Upgrade-authority verification       | **TBA**                     |
| Product capability activation        | **Disabled until verified** |

### ✅ Finalization rule

Factory output remains **candidate deployment state** until the full production verification pipeline succeeds. Frontend or API configuration must not convert candidate output into canonical token identity on its own.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://sonic-ai-works.gitbook.io/sonic-networks-docs/documentation/developers/programs/factory-program.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
