I tried to look into options but did not find any, does anybody know?

It is important to clarify a technical distinction: what is commonly called "hybrid" usually refers to a v1 + v2 hybrid. Tixati has recently introduced a Protocol v3, which is designed to be more efficient than v2 hybrids while maintaining backward compatibility with v1 clients.

How to Create a Hybrid Torrent in Tixati

   Open the Creation Tool:
   Click the Add button in the top-left corner of the main window and select Create New Seed.

   Select Your Content:
   Click Browse for File or Browse for Folder to choose the data you want to share.

   Choose the Protocol:
   In the newer versions (v3.39+), you will see a Protocol Selection dropdown or section.

       For a standard Hybrid: Select v1 + v2 Hybrid. This includes SHA-1 hashes for old clients and SHA-256 Merkle trees for modern clients.

       For the "New" Way: Tixati now promotes Protocol v3. Choosing v3 creates a torrent that works like a v1 torrent for old clients but uses upgraded security (SHA2-256) for modern ones without the "padding file" overhead of v2.

   Check Alignment Settings:
   If you are creating a v1 + v2 hybrid, ensure that "Align files to piece boundaries" (or "v2 padding") is enabled. This is required for v2 to function correctly across different file sets.

   Finalize:
   Add your trackers, set the piece size (Tixati usually chooses a safe default), and click Create.

useless AI Slop.

I specifically wrote, v2+v3 hybrid torrent and not v1+v2 hybrid torrent.

A hybrid torrent is not equal to v1+v2 only, a hybrid torrent is anything that has two or more torrent protocols.
