Non-Fungible Token (TIP-4.1)

Requires: TIP-6.1

Abstract

The following standard allows for implementing a standard API for NFTs within smart contracts. General information about NFT collection is stored in the NFT collection contract. Each NFT deployed in separate smart contracts and links to NFT collection contract.

This standard provides basic functionality to create, track and transfer NFTs.

Motivation

A standard interface allows any NFT to be re-used by other applications: wallets, explorers, marketplaces, etc.

Specification

The keywords “MUST”, “MUST NOT”, “REQUIRED”, “SHALL”, “SHALL NOT”, “SHOULD”, “SHOULD NOT”, “RECOMMENDED”, “MAY”, and “OPTIONAL” in this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119.

Collection

The contract represents shared information about NFT collection and logic for creation of NFTs and burn of NFTs.

Every TIP4.1 compliant collection contract must implement the TIP4_1Collection interface and TIP-6.1 interfaces

pragma ton-solidity >= 0.58.0;

interface TIP4_1Collection {

/// @notice This event emits when NFTs are created
/// @param id Unique NFT id
/// @param nft Address NFT contact
/// @param owner Address of NFT owner
/// @param manager Address of NFT manager
/// @param creator Address of creator that initialize mint NFT
event NftCreated(uint256 id, address nft, address owner, address manager, address creator);

/// @notice This event emits when NFTs are burned
/// @param id Unique NFT id
/// @param nft Address NFT contact
/// @param owner Address of NFT owner when it burned
/// @param manager Address of NFT manager when it burned
event NftBurned(uint256 id, address nft, address owner, address manager);


/// @notice Count active NFTs for this collection
/// @return count A count of active NFTs minted by this contract except for burned NFTs
function totalSupply() external view responsible returns (uint128 count);

/// @notice Returns the NFT code
/// @return code Returns the NFT code as TvmCell
function nftCode() external view responsible returns (TvmCell code);

/// @notice Returns the NFT code hash
/// @return codeHash Returns the NFT code hash
function nftCodeHash() external view responsible returns (uint256 codeHash);

/// @notice Computes NFT address by unique NFT id
/// @dev Return unique address for all Ids. You find nothing by address for not a valid NFT
/// @param id Unique NFT id
/// @return nft Returns address of NFT contract
function nftAddress(uint256 id) external view responsible returns (address nft);
}

NOTE The TIP-6.1 identifier for this interface is 0x1217AAAB.

TIP4_1Collection.totalSupply()

function totalSupply() public view responsible returns (uint128 count);
  • count (uint128) - A count of active NFTs

The function return count of active NFTs. Value increased by one when NFT minted and decreased by one when NFT burned.

TIP4_1Collection.nftCode()

function nftCode() public view responsible returns (TvmCell code);
  • code (TvmCell) - NFT code

NFTs is a smart contract deployed from collection smart contract use nftCode and id.

TIP4_1Collection.nftCodeHash()

function nftCodeHash() public view responsible returns (uint256 codeHash);
  • codeHash (uint256) - NFT codeHash

A codeHash allows search all smart contracts using base dApp functionality.

TIP4_1Collection.nftAddress()

function nftAddress(uint256 id) public view responsible returns (address nft);
  • id (uint256) - Unique NFT id
  • nft (address) - The NFT address

Computes NFT address by unique NFT id. You can check the NFT for availability using base dApp functionality.

Events

event NftCreated(uint256 id, address nft, address owner, address manager, address creator);
event NftBurned(uint256 id, address nft, address owner, address manager);
  • id (uint256) - Unique NFT id
  • nft (address) - The NFT address
  • owner (address) - The initial\last owner of the NFT
  • manager (address) - The initial\last manager of the NFT
  • creator (address) - The initial address who initiate NFT deploy

You must emit NftCreated event when NFT minted.

You must emit NftBurned event when NFT burned.

Mint and burn NFT

A function's signature is not included in the specification.

See the Events for your responsibilities when creating or burning NFTs.

NFT

The contract represents information about current NFT and control logic. Each NFT contains two roles:

  • owner logic
  • manager logic

The owner’s address is the address that owns this NFT. The owner can see NFT in wallets, marketplaces, apps. The owner can use the NFT for authorization, for proof in games etc.

Manager address is the address that controls this NFT. Manager can burn NFT, can change the owner or change the manager (transfer the manager role).

Owner address and manager address can be same usually. When an NFT is put up for sale, it means that the manager's address is the address of the smart contract with the sell logic. It's same for farming logic or custom logic for use NFT.

Good practice is to set a manager address to a new owner address when owner changed.

Every TIP4.1 compliant NFT contract must implement the TIP4_1NFT interface and TIP-6.1 interfaces.

pragma ton-solidity >= 0.58.0;
