Hey everyone, Been trying to read through the token conversations but I’m so behind I figure I would just make a post. What is going on with the icrc token standard? Is the standard giving us a scalable ledger with an explorer for free? The current example in the dfinity repo is not production ready. If I need to make a token right now do I still use dip20? What are the ramifications? Will ckbtc be icrc standard? Is the SNS using ICRC ? Does it have a transaction explorer somewhere ? Will all the icrc tokens share an explorer like every other blockchain? What is going on? I need to write code and it seems the ground is moving underneath us. ---

ICDevs did a bounty(funded by DFINITY) for a motoko ICRC1: [GitHub - NatLabs/icrc1: A full implementation of the ICRC-1 fungible token standard](https://github.com/NatLabs/icrc1). It hasn’t been audited yet but seems to be functional. I’m hoping to do some more testing of it. I should have complete archiving of transactions and a built-in rosetta server. ---

Looks like it’s missing the icrc2 methods, it’s pretty cool though ---

Is the SNS using ICRC ? > [@ICRC-1 Token Standard Ledger](https://forum.dfinity.org/t/icrc-1-token-standard-ledger/14109): > > Hi everyone, The DFINITY Foundation has been working on a Ledger that implements the ICRC-1 Token Standard. This Ledger will be used as SNS and ckBTC Ledger and will be available for everybody for their own tokens. We would like to share the [API](https://github.com/dfinity/ic/blob/master/rs/rosetta-api/icrc1/ledger/icrc1.did) to facilitate integration with services. Please keep in mind that this Ledger is still under active development and that the API may change slightly because we are still discussing the standard itself. Best ---
