## Abstract
|
||
|
||
An [EIP-721](./eip-721.md) extension that adds an additional role (`user`) which can be granted to addresses, and a time where the role is automatically revoked (`expires`) and (`level`) . The `user` role represents permission to "use" the NFT, but not the ability to transfer it or set users.
|
||
|
||
## Motivation
|
||
|
||
Some NFTs have certain utilities. For example, virtual land can be "used" to build scenes, and NFTs representing game assets can be "used" in-game. In some cases, the owner and user may not always be the same. There may be an owner of the NFT that rents it out to a “user”. The actions that a “user” should be able to take with an NFT would be different from the “owner” (for instance, “users” usually shouldn’t be able to sell ownership of the NFT). In these situations, it makes sense to have separate roles that identify whether an address represents an “owner” or a “user” and manage permissions to perform actions accordingly.
|
||
|
||
Some projects already use this design scheme under different names such as “operator” or “controller” but as it becomes more and more prevalent, we need a unified standard to facilitate collaboration amongst all applications.
|
||
|
||
Furthermore, applications of this model (such as renting) often demand that user addresses have only temporary access to using the NFT. Normally, this means the owner needs to submit two on-chain transactions, one to list a new address as the new user role at the start of the duration and one to reclaim the user role at the end. This is inefficient in both labor and gas and so an “expires” and “level” function is introduced that would facilitate the automatic end of a usage term without the need of a second transaction.
|
||
|
||
Here are some of the problems that are solved by this standard:
|
||
|
||
### Clear Rights Assignment
|
||
|
||
With Dual “owner” and “user” roles, it becomes significantly easier to manage what lenders and borrowers can and cannot do with the NFT (in other words, their rights). Additionally, owners can control who the user is and it’s easy for other projects to assign their own rights to either the owners or the users.
|
||
|
||
### Simple On-chain Time Management
|
||
|
||
Once a rental period is over, the user role needs to be reset and the “user” has to lose access to the right to use the NFT. This is usually accomplished with a second on-chain transaction but that is gas inefficient and can lead to complications because it’s imprecise. With the `expires` function, there is no need for another transaction because the “user” is invalidated automatically after the duration is over.
|
||
|
||
### Easy Third-Party Integration
|
||
|
||
In the spirit of permission less interoperability, this standard makes it easier for third-party protocols to manage NFT usage rights without permission from the NFT issuer or the NFT application. Once a project has adopted the additional `user` role and `expires` and `level`, any other project can directly interact with these features and implement their own type of transaction. For example, a PFP NFT using this standard can be integrated into both a rental platform where users can rent the NFT for 30 days AND, at the same time, a mortgage platform where users can use the NFT while eventually buying ownership of the NFT with installment payments. This would all be done without needing the permission of the original PFP project.
|
||
|
||
## 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.
|
||
|
||
### Contract Interface
|
||
Solidity Interface with NatSpec & OpenZeppelin v4 Interfaces (also available at [`IERC5334.sol`](../assets/eip-5334/IERC5334.sol)):
|
||
|
||
```solidity
|
||
interface IERC5334 {
|
||
|
||
// Logged when the user of a NFT, expires, or level is changed
|
||
/// @notice Emitted when the `user` of an NFT or the `expires` of the `user` is changed or the user `level` is changed
|
||
/// The zero address for user indicates that there is no user address
|
||
event UpdateUser(uint256 indexed tokenId, address indexed user, uint64 expires, uint8 level);
|
||
|
||
/// @notice set the user and expires and level of a NFT
|
||
/// @dev The zero address indicates there is no user
|
||
/// Throws if `tokenId` is not valid NFT
|
||
/// @param user The new user of the NFT
|
||
/// @param expires UNIX timestamp, The new user could use the NFT before expires
|
||
/// @param level user level
|
||
function setUser(uint256 tokenId, address user, uint64 expires, uint8 level) external;
|
||
|
||
/// @notice Get the user address of an NFT
|
||
/// @dev The zero address indicates that there is no user or the user is expired
|
||
/// @param tokenId The NFT to get the user address for
|
||
/// @return The user address for this NFT
|
||
function userOf(uint256 tokenId) external view returns(address);
|
||
|
||
/// @notice Get the user expires of an NFT
|
||
/// @dev The zero value indicates that there is no user
|
||
/// @param tokenId The NFT to get the user expires for
|
||
/// @return The user expires for this NFT
|
||
function userExpires(uint256 tokenId) external view returns(uint256);
|
||
|
||
/// @notice Get the user level of an NFT
|
||
/// @dev The zero value indicates that there is no user
|
||
/// @param tokenId The NFT to get the user level for
|
||
/// @return The user level for this NFT
|
||
function userLevel(uint256 tokenId) external view returns(uint256);
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
The `userOf(uint256 tokenId)` function MAY be implemented as `pure` or `view`.
|
||
|
||
The `userExpires(uint256 tokenId)` function MAY be implemented as `pure` or `view`.
|
||
|
||
The `userLevel(uint256 tokenId)` function MAY be implemented as `pure` or `view`.
|
||
|
||
The `setUser(uint256 tokenId, address user, uint64 expires)` function MAY be implemented as `public` or `external`.
|
||
|
||
The `UpdateUser` event MUST be emitted when a user address is changed or the user expires is changed or the user level is changed.
|
||
|
||
<!-- The `supportsInterface` method MUST return `true` when called with `0xTODO`. -->
|
||
|
||
## Rationale
|
||
|
||
TBD
|
||
|
||
## Backwards Compatibility
|
||
|
||
As mentioned in the specifications section, this standard can be fully EIP-721 compatible by adding an extension function set.
|
||
|
||
In addition, new functions introduced in this standard have many similarities with the existing functions in EIP-721. This allows developers to easily adopt the standard quickly.
|
||
|
||
## Reference Implementation
|
||
A reference implementation of this standard can be found in the assets folder.
|
||
<!-- [../assets/EIP-5334/ERC5334.sol](../assets/EIP-5334/ERC5334.sol). -->
|
||
|
||
## Security Considerations
|
||
|
||
This EIP standard can completely protect the rights of the owner, the owner can change the NFT user and expires and level at any time.
