Abstract

We propose x/likenft, a module that utilizes Cosmos SDK’s x/nft and extends x/iscn to enable users to create NFT Classes and mint NFTs under an ISCN record or an account. The module keeps mappings of parent to NFT class relations, and implements mutation functions as outlined by ADR-43 for users to interact with objects kept by x/nft. In addition, the module provides blind box release and basic marketplace features for users to purchase and trade NFTs with LikeCoin. By adopting x/nft, the module will have a clear pathway to support interchain transfer as relevant IBC standards are being finalized.

Our work-in-progress codebase and pre-release builds can be found at: https://github.com/oursky/likecoin-chain/tree/feat/nft

Background

Envisioned Usages

We envision that a creator will create NFT collections tied to their DePub content or their identity for monetization. After creating NFT classes, the creator can either mint tokens directly to their own account for resale, or adopt the blind box feature to allow supporters to mint tokens at set prices.

To trade tokens, users will be able to create seller listings and buyer offers on-chain, as well as authorizing DApp custody accounts to transfer tokens for off-chain sales. Secondary sales on LikeCoin chain will split royalties to the class owner at a rate defined before tokens are minted.

In the future, when an IBC standard for interchain NFT transfer is established, token owners can send NFTs to third party chains for complex sales such as bidding, similar to how a user can swap fungible tokens on DEX chains like Osmosis.

Selection of Token Standard

There exists multiple token standards already in use by other blockchains: native modules by Irisnet, Crypro.org and Omniflex; as well as cw721, a smart contract based standard for CosmWasm. Also, we have identified that x/nft is to be released in Cosmos SDK v0.46, and is the basis of the current draft of ICS-721, the IBC standard for cross-chain NFT transfer.

During discussion with LikerLand and Depub.space teams, we have compared pros and cons between native modules (represented by x/nft) and cw721. Firstly, x/nft has a clear pathway for IBC support while cw721 doesn’t. Moreover, incorporating cw721 implies integrating CosmWasm, which brings chain sovereignty concerns and costs greater development effort. Therefore, we are in favor of adopting x/nft for use on LikeCoin chain.

These being said, it is still unclear which standard will become dominant in the Cosmos ecosystem. At this moment, it seems to us that x/nft will likely be the winner with Irisnet already working on migrating their module to support the standard. In the event of the community favoring cw721 over native tokens, we believe that there will be community efforts among multiple chains to create migration or bridging solutions.

Object Relations

Account 1 - n ISCN 1 - n Class 1 - n NFT

This is for representing tokens related to a DePub content
- e.g. Virtual “signed copies”, memorial tokens
Under the scope of this module, we refer to an ISCN record with its IscnIdPrefix
- The latest ISCN record is always used in logics and returned in queries
  - e.g. The latest ISCN record owner is always resolved as the class owner when a owner-only mutation is processed.
- Users can look up historical versions with the ISCN module
- To counter the misuse of ISCN versioning, where a user could theoretically replace the ISCN record content entirely after minting NFT, the latest ISCN version observed at the first token minting is recorded in Class data and in all minted NFTs
  - Users are expected to register a different ISCN for entirely new content, for example a subsequent work in a publication series.
There can be multiple Class (or “Collection” in OpenSea speak) related to an ISCN
- e.g. “Initial Series” at publication time, and another NFT class in the future as “Anniversary Series”

Account 1 - n Class 1 - n NFT

This is for representing tokens related to the Creator’s identity
- e.g. Supporter membership status
There can be multiple Class related to an Account
- e.g. Different supporter tiers

User Flows

Simple Mint

Creator call MsgNewClass to create NFT Class related to their account or a ISCN record, and call MsgUpdateClass as needed.
- Creator assign metadata of the collection, and change configurations such as burnable and max supply.
Creator call MsgMintNFT to mint NFT under the Class.
- Creator assign metadata of the token.
Creator list NFT for sale with marketplace features, or call MsgSendNFT to transfer the token to another account.

Blind Box Release

Creator call MsgNewClass to create NFT Class related to their account or a ISCN record, and call MsgUpdateClass as needed.
- Creator specify the mint stages and reveal time
  - Mint stages controls the permission to mint: start time, allowlist of minters and mint price
  - This can be utilized to create early bird discounts, or allow vip users to mint tokens before the public, etc.
- Creator assign metadata of the collection, and change configurations such as burnable and max supply.
Creator call MsgCreateBlindBoxContent, MsgUpdateBlindBoxContent, MsgDeleteBlindBoxContent to prepare metadata of available tokens.
Supporters can call MsgMintNFT to mint unrevealed tokens before the reveal time.
- Permission is checked against mint stages configured, sorted by start time and mint price in ascending order.
  - i.e. the earliest and cheapest eligible stages will be applied
- Mint fee collected will be paid to the Creator.
At the reveal time, the chain will mint all remaining token supply to the Creator, shuffle blind box content with the last block hash as seed, and assign content to all NFTs.
- This shuffle process is fair to all parties, on the basis that it is improbable for adversaries to know the exact hash of a future block, and thus knowing which token id is more valuable at mint time.
Creator can then list the unsold tokens for sale again on the marketplace, or choose to burn them if burnable is enabled.

Royalty Config

Class owner call MsgCreateRoyaltyConfig to configure the royalty rate and stakeholders.
- In marketplace transactions, royalty is split according to the royalty rate (rounded down to nanolike), and distributed to stakeholders according to the stakeholder weights (rounded down to nanolike). All rounding remainders will be sent to the seller.
- Class owner may call MsgUpdateRoyaltyConfig to change the settings, or MsgDeleteRoyaltyConfig to disable the royalty feature.
- Note the royalty stakeholders are user-managed, and does not mirror ISCN stakeholders automatically.

Trade with Seller Listing

NFT owner call MsgCreateListing to list the token for sale, and call MsgUpdateListing and MsgDeleteListing as needed.
- NFT owner specifies price and expiration
  - Max listing duration is 180 days. When a listing is expired the chain will prune the record automatically. Users may call MsgUpdateListing to extend the expiration.
- Each user can only have one active listing for each NFT.
User look for listings with QueryListingsByNFTRequest . After verifying the listing is created by the current NFT owner via x/nft QueryOwnerRequest, user call MsgBuyNFT to purchase.
- User specifies the listing by class id, nft id and seller address. User can specify a final price at or higher than the listed price.
- Portion of the final price will be sent to royalty stakeholders according to the royalty config set by class owner.
- Note that listings returned at queries might be created by previous owners and invalid. Front-end / user should verify the seller before purchase to save gas fee.
  - The module actively remove invalid listings at successful trades, new listing creation and scheduled listing expirations.
  - However, it is possible for a NFT owner to transfer the token via x/nft directly, causing invalid listings to be kept in module state.

Trade with Buyer Offer

User call MsgCreateOffer to offer to buy a token, and call MsgUpdateOffer and MsgDeleteOffer as needed.
- User specifies price and expiration
  - Price will be transferred to module account as deposit.
    On update offer, old deposit will be refunded and new deposit will be withdrawn
    On delete offer, deposit will be refunded
  - Max offer duration is 180 days. When an offer is expired the chain will prune the record automatically. Users may call MsgUpdateOffer to extend the expiration.
- Each user can only have one active offer for each NFT.
NFT owner look for offers with QueryOffersByNFTRequest and call MsgSellNFT to sell.
- Owner specifies the offer with class id, nft id and buyer address. Owner can specify a final price at or lower than the offered price.
  - If the final price is lower than the offered price, extra deposit will be refunded to the buyer.
- Portion of the final price will be sent to royalty stakeholders according to the royalty config set by class owner.

Object specifications

ISCN-to-Class mapping

message ClassesByISCN {
  string iscn_id_prefix = 1; 
  repeated string class_ids = 2; 
}

Array of ClassId is mapped for related NFT Classes

Account-to-Class mapping

message ClassesByAccount {
  string account = 1; 
  repeated string class_ids = 2; 
}
message ClassesByAccountStoreRecord {
  bytes acc_address = 1 [(gogoproto.casttype) = "github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/types.AccAddress"]; 
  repeated string class_ids = 2; 
}

Account addresses are stored and indexed internally in bytes (sdk.AccAddress) form, while they are formatted in bech32 string for external interfaces.

Class

Extends ADR-43 Class object:

message Class {
  string id          = 1;
  string name        = 2;
  string symbol      = 3;
  string description = 4;
  string uri         = 5;
  string uri_hash    = 6;
  google.protobuf.Any data = 7;
}

ID field:
- SHA256(append(bytes(IscnIdPrefix) or AccAddress, bytes(string(Serial)))), in Bech32 with likenft prefix.
  - Serial is the number of classes related to the parent
  - See https://github.com/oursky/likecoin-chain/blob/feat/nft/x/likenft/types/class_id.go for implementation
- e.g. likenft12fre0mt7kzprlrnw7mc0e50gphcgr2zef88jwc7us7jgmx304g4smdde4v

Data field:

message ClassData {
  bytes metadata = 1 [
    (gogoproto.nullable) = false,
    (gogoproto.customtype) = "JsonInput"
  ];
  ClassParent parent = 2 [(gogoproto.nullable) = false];
  ClassConfig config = 3 [(gogoproto.nullable) = false];
  BlindBoxState blind_box_state = 4 [(gogoproto.nullable) = false];
}

// Parent Info
message ClassParent {
  ClassParentType type = 1;
  string iscn_id_prefix = 2 [(gogoproto.nullable) = true];
  uint64 iscn_version_at_mint = 3 [(gogoproto.nullable) = true];
  string account = 4 [(gogoproto.nullable) = true];
}

enum ClassParentType {
  UNKNOWN = 0;
  ISCN = 1;
  ACCOUNT = 2;
}

// Configs
message ClassConfig {
  bool burnable = 1;
  uint64 max_supply = 2;
  BlindBoxConfig blind_box_config = 3 [(gogoproto.nullable) = true];
}

// Blind Box feature
message BlindBoxConfig {
  repeated MintPeriod mint_periods = 1 [(gogoproto.nullable) = false];
  google.protobuf.Timestamp reveal_time = 2 [(gogoproto.stdtime) = true, (gogoproto.nullable) = false];
}

message MintPeriod {
  google.protobuf.Timestamp start_time = 1 [(gogoproto.stdtime) = true, (gogoproto.nullable) = false];
  repeated string allowed_addresses = 2 ;
  uint64 mint_price = 3;
}

message BlindBoxState {
  uint64 content_count = 1;
  bool to_be_revealed = 2;
}

No metadata standard is explicitly enforced. Users and dapp developers can take reference of the OpenSea standard: https://docs.opensea.io/docs/contract-level-metadata
In class_parent, either ISCN fields or account will be filled, depending on the parent type.
- iscn_version_at_mint is the latest ISCN version observed when the first token is minted for this class. Before minting, It will also be refreshed whenever user calls UpdateClass. It will be frozen after the first token is minted (in line with UpdateClass's policy).
  - This is an extra datum to safeguard against the misuse of ISCN versioning. Generally speaking, users shall try to refer to the latest version of the ISCN when utilizing the Class’s / NFT’s metadata, since the ISCN prefix alone is expected to be representative of the registered content.
The blind box feature is enabled if blind_box_config is not empty
- mint_periods allows flexible control of minting schedule, allowlisting and prices
  - When a user mints an unrevealed token, the earliest then cheapest mint period that allows the user will be applied
  - allowed_addresses being empty means any user is allowed
  - start_time must be later than current time and earlier than the reveal_time

NFT Data

Extends ADR-43 NFT object:

message NFT {
  string class_id           = 1;
  string id                 = 2;
  string uri                = 3;
  string uri_hash           = 4;
  google.protobuf.Any data  = 10;
}

Data field:
```
message NFTData {
  bytes metadata = 1 [
    (gogoproto.nullable) = false,
    (gogoproto.customtype) = "JsonInput"
  ];
  ClassParent class_parent = 2 [(gogoproto.nullable) = false];
  bool to_be_revealed = 3;
}
```
- No metadata standard is explicitly enforced. Users and dapp developers can take reference of the OpenSea standard: https://docs.opensea.io/docs/metadata-standards
- class_parent reflects the respective value in Class data.
  - Again, users shall try to refer to the latest version of the ISCN if possible when utilizing metadata stored here.
- to_be_revealed denotes the class is blind box and the token content hasn’t been revealed yet.

BlindBoxContent

message BlindBoxContent {
  string class_id = 1;
  string id = 2;
  NFTInput input = 3 [(gogoproto.nullable) = false];
}

For Blind Box feature. Stores token content that will be assigned pseudo-randomly at reveal time.
Note id is different from the final NFT token’s ID, which will be generated sequentially at mint time. This ID is scoped to the blind box content templates under the class.

ClassRevealQueueEntry

message ClassRevealQueueEntry {
  google.protobuf.Timestamp reveal_time = 1 [(gogoproto.stdtime) = true, (gogoproto.nullable) = false]; 
  string class_id = 2; 
}

Internal use only. For keeping a queue of class reveal schedule.
- Similar to x/auth’s queue implementation, we process the reveal queue at EndBlocker, up to the current block header time.

Royalty Config

message RoyaltyConfigByClass {
  string class_id = 1;
  RoyaltyConfig royalty_config = 2 [(gogoproto.nullable) = false];
}

message RoyaltyConfig {
  uint64 rate_basis_points = 1;
  repeated RoyaltyStakeholder stakeholders = 2 [(gogoproto.nullable) = false];
}

message RoyaltyStakeholder {
  bytes account = 1 [(gogoproto.casttype) = "github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/types.AccAddress"];
  uint64 weight = 2;
}

Rate basis points controls the amount of royalty that can be split from transaction amount.
- Each basis point is 0.01%. e.g. 100 bps = 1%
- Max rate is controlled by module param. Currently the max rate is 10%, or 1000 bps
- Formula: Allocatable Royalty = Floor(Float(Txn Amount) / 10000.0 * Float(Rate Bps))
The royalty amount rounded down to nanolike will be distributed according to the stakeholder list
- For each stakeholder, the allocated royalty is computed according to the weight, and rounded down to nanolike
- Formula: Allocated Royalty = Floor(Float(Allocatable Royalty) / Float(Total Weights) * Float(Stakeholder Weight))
Rounding differences are transferred to the seller as part of the transaction net amount.

Listing

message Listing {
  string class_id = 1;
  string nft_id = 2;

}
message MsgUpdateClassResponse {
  cosmos.nft.v1beta1.Class class = 1 [(gogoproto.nullable) = false];
}

User must be owner of the ISCN record if one is used
This method can only be called when there is no tokens minted. After token minting users are not permitted to make changes to the class unless they burn all existing tokens. In other words, it is impossible to update class if it has been transferred or sold to other users.

MintNFT

rpc MintNFT(MsgMintNFT) returns (MsgMintNFTResponse);
message MsgMintNFT {
  string creator = 1;
  string class_id = 2;

message NFTInput {
  string uri = 1;
  string uri_hash = 2;
  bytes metadata = 3 [
    (gogoproto.nullable) = false,
    (gogoproto.customtype) = "JsonInput"
  ];
}
message MsgMintNFTResponse {
  cosmos.nft.v1beta1.NFT nft = 1 [(gogoproto.nullable) = false];
}

If Blind Box is not enabled, only the owner of the class parent is allowed to mint NFT. The input field is required.
If Blind Box is enabled and it is during mint period, allowed users can mint according to the configured stages. Fees will be deducted and paid to the owner of the class parent. The id and input field is ignored even if supplied, a sequential token id will be generated.
Note that currently x/nft requires the id to start with a letter and have at least 3 characters, which was not specified in the ADR, regex is [a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9/:-]{2,100}

BurnNFT

rpc BurnNFT(MsgBurnNFT) returns (MsgBurnNFTResponse);
message MsgBurnNFT {
  string creator = 1;
  string class_id = 2;

}
message MsgBurnNFTResponse {
}

User must be owner of the NFT
The burnable flag must be true at the Class config

To combat denial of service attacks, we will charge gas fee based on size of metadata uploaded.
- Gas fee is applicable to Class data and NFT data
  - For Class data, gas fee will be charged at class create / update time
  - For NFT data, gas fee will be charged at mint time for simple mint, or at content create / update time for blind box mint.
Default max offer duration and listing duration is 180 days. Valid range is [1, inf)
Default max royalty basis points is 1000 (10%). Valid range is [0, 10000]

Rollout Plan

We are shipping the initial release of the module with v3.0.0 StarFerry upgrade, which is based on Cosmos SDK v0.45. The x/nft module being shipped is backported from Cosmos SDK 0.46-rc1.

We will introduce another chain upgrade to adopt Cosmos SDK v0.46 when it is officially released. We also plan to add enhancements such as x/authz support, which will allow DApps to act on users’ behalf to manage Classes and NFTs.
