ERC-721 Token — Reference Implementation

NOTICE: This repository has been transferred from 0xcert to Nibbstack and thus renamed from 0xcert/ethereum-erc721 to @nibbstack/erc721.

This is the complete reference implementation of the ERC-721 non-fungible token standard for the Ethereum and Wanchain blockchains. It is also compatible with other EVM compatible chains like Binance Smart Chain (BSC), Avalanche (AVAX) etc. This is an open-source project, complete with Hardhat testing.

The purpose of this implementation is to provide a good starting point for anyone who wants to use and develop non-fungible tokens on the Ethereum and Wanchain blockchains. Instead of re-implementing the ERC-721 yourself you can use this code which has gone through multiple audits and we hope it will be extensively used by the community in the future. Note that this implementation is more restrictive then the ERC-721 standard since it does not support payable function calls out of the box. You are however free to add this yourself.

If you are looking for a more feature-rich and advanced ERC-721 implementation, then check out the 0xcert Framework.

Structure

All contracts and tests are in the src folder. There are multiple implementations and you can select between:

• nf-token.sol: This is the base ERC-721 token implementation (with support for ERC-165).
• nf-token-metadata.sol: This implements optional ERC-721 metadata features for the token contract. It implements a token name, a symbol and a distinct URI pointing to a publicly exposed ERC-721 JSON metadata file.
• nf-token-enumerable.sol: This implements optional ERC-721 support for enumeration. It is useful if you want to know the total supply of tokens, to query a token by index, etc.

Other files in the tokens and utils directories named erc*.sol are interfaces and define the respective standards.

Mock contracts showing basic contract usage are available in the mocks folder.

There are also test mocks that can be seen here. These are specifically made to test different edge cases and behaviours and should NOT be used as a reference for implementation.

Requirements

• NodeJS 12+ is supported
• Windows, Linux or macOS

Installation

npm

This is the recommended installation method if you want to use this package in your JavaScript project.

This project is released as an npm module. You must install it using the npm command:

$ npm install @nibbstack/erc721@2.6.1

Source

This is the recommended installation method if you want to improve the nibbstack/erc721 project.

Clone this repository and install the required npm dependencies:

$ git clone git@github.com:nibbstack/erc721.git
$ cd ethereum-erc721
$ npm install

Make sure that everything has been set up correctly:

$ npm run test

Usage

npm

To interact with this package's contracts within JavaScript code, you simply need to require this package's .json files:

const contract = require("@nibbstack/erc721/abi/NFTokenEnumerable.json");
console.log(contract);

Remix IDE (Ethereum only)

You can quickly deploy a contract with this library using Remix IDE. Here is one example.

You have created and have possession of unique glass-blown artwork (each having a serial/lot number) which you would like to sell using the Ethereum or Wanchain mainnet. You will sell non-fungible tokens and the buyers would be able to trade those to other people. One token per piece of artwork. You commit to anybody holding these tokens that they may redeem their token and take physical possession of the art.

To do this, simply paste the code below into Remix and deploy the smart contract. You will "mint" a token for each new piece of artwork you want to see. Then you will "burn" that token when you surrender physical possession of the piece.

You should contact a lawyer before holding an auction, or selling anything. Specifically, laws for auctions vary wildly by jurisdiction. This application is provided only as an example of the technology and is not legal advice.

Validation

You can check the validity of the smart contract, the correctness of the implementation and the supported functions of the respective smart contract using the online validator at https://erc721validator.org/.

Playground

Ethereum - Ropsten testnet

We already deployed some contracts to the Ropsten network. You can play with them RIGHT NOW. No need to install the software. In this test version of the contract, anybody can mint or burn tokens, so don't use it for anything important.

Wanchain - testnet

We already deployed some contracts to testnet network. You can play with them RIGHT NOW. No need to install software. In this test version of the contract, anybody can mint or burn tokens, so don't use it for anything important.
