# CyberShares

* **Source:** [`src/CyberShares.sol`](https://github.com/MetaLex-Tech/cybercorps-contracts/blob/develop/src/CyberShares.sol)
* **Inherits:** `ERC20Upgradeable`

> **In-progress contract.** `CyberShares` is partly implemented: several functions — including `safeMint` and `certificateTokenURI` — have their bodies commented out or return empty values in the current source. Treat this page as a description of the *intended* shape and verify against the source before relying on it.

## Purpose

`CyberShares` is an ERC-20 share token for a single security class that also carries certificate-formation logic — a model where fungible shares can be formed into, and voided back from, individual certificates.

## Functions (current source)

```solidity
function mint(address to, uint256 amount) external onlyIssuanceManager;
function burn(address from, uint256 amount) external onlyIssuanceManager;
function voidToShares(uint256 certId) external;          // burn a cert back to shares
function formCertificateFromShares(uint256 amount, CertificateDetails details) external;
function setGlobalRestrictionHook(address hookAddress) external onlyIssuanceManager;
function setTransferable(bool _transferable) external onlyIssuanceManager;
function setCertThreshold(uint256 _threshold) external onlyIssuanceManager;
function decimals() public view returns (uint8);
function certThreshold() public view returns (uint256);
function sharesUri() public view returns (string);
```

It also exposes `certificate*` helpers (`certificateOwnerOf`, `certificateApprove`, `certificateTransferFrom`, etc.) that mirror an ERC-721 surface for the formed certificates.

## Events

`SharesMinted`, `SharesBurned`, `CertificateFormed`, `SharesFromCertificate`, `SharesFromVoidedCertificate`, `GlobalRestrictionHookSet`, `TransferableSet`, `CertThresholdSet`, plus `Certificate*` events.

> `CyberShares` is **not** a cap-table accounting layer with `authorized` / `outstanding` / `reserved` counters. The register of holders is the set of [LedgerEntryToken](/protocol-reference/contracts/ledgerentrytoken.md) certificates; share counts are read from there.

# 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://docs.metalex.tech/protocol-reference/contracts/cybershares.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.
