Abstract

A standard interface for both fungible and non-fungible tokens implemented in a smart contract. The interface provides functions for transferring token ownership, allowing other addresses to transfer tokens and for querying token balances and token metadata. It allows for off-chain applications to track token balances and the location of token metadata using logged events.

Specification

The key words “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.

General types and serialization

TokenID

Token Identifier, which combined with the address of the smart contract instance implementing CIS1, forms the globally unique identifier of a token type.

  • A token ID for a token type SHALL NOT change after a token type have been minted.

  • A token ID for a token type SHALL NOT be reused for another token type within the same smart contract.

It is serialized as 1 byte for the size (n) of the identifier, followed by this number of bytes for the token id (id):

TokenID ::= (n: Byte) (id: Byteⁿ)

Note

Token IDs can be as small as a single byte (by setting the first byte to the value 0) or as big as 256 bytes leaving more than 10^614 possible token IDs. The token ID could be an encoding of a small text string or some checksum hash, but to save energy it is still recommended to use small token IDs if possible.

TokenAmount

An amount of a token type is an unsigned 64 bit integer.

It is serialized using 8 bytes little endian:

TokenAmount ::= (amount: Byte⁸)

ReceiveHookName

A smart contract receive function name. A receive function name is prefixed with the contract name, followed by a . and a name for the function. It MUST consist only of ASCII alphanumeric or punctuation characters. The contract name is not allowed to contain ..

It is serialized as: the function name byte length (n) is represented by the first 2 bytes, followed by this many bytes for the function name (name). The receive function name MUST be 100 bytes or less:

ReceiveHookName ::= (n: Byte²) (name: Byteⁿ)

Note

This type is passed in a parameter for smart contract function calls, be aware of the parameter size limit of 1024 bytes.

ContractName

A name of a smart contract. It must be prefixed with init_ and MUST consist only of ASCII alphanumeric or punctuation characters. The contract name is not allowed to contain ..

It is serialized as: the contract name byte length (n) is represented by the first 2 bytes, followed by this many bytes for the contract name (name). The contract name MUST be 100 bytes or less:

ContractName ::= (n: Byte²) (name: Byteⁿ)

AccountAddress

An address of an account.

It is serialized as 32 bytes:

AccountAddress ::= (address: Byte³²)

ContractAddress

An address of a contract instance. It consists of an index and a subindex both unsigned 64 bit integers.

It is serialized as: first 8 bytes for the index (index) followed by 8 bytes for the subindex (subindex) both little endian:

ContractAddress ::= (index: Byte⁸) (subindex: Byte⁸)

Address

Is either an account address or a contract address.

It is serialized as: First byte indicates whether it is an account address or a contract address. In case the first byte is 0 then AccountAddress (address) is followed. In case the first byte is 1 then ContractAddress (address) is followed:

Address ::= (0: Byte) (address: AccountAddress)
          | (1: Byte) (address: ContractAddress)

Receiver

The receiving address of a transfer, which is either an account address or a contract address. In the case of a contract address: a name of the hook receive function to invoke is also needed.

It is serialized as: First byte indicates whether it is an account address or a contract address. In case the first byte is 0 then AccountAddress (address) is followed. In case the first byte is 1 then ContractAddress (address), bytes for ReceiveHookName (hook) is followed:

Receiver ::= (0: Byte) (address: AccountAddress)
           | (1: Byte) (address: ContractAddress) (hook: ReceiveHookName)

AdditionalData

Additional bytes to include in a transfer, which can be used to add additional parameters for the transfer function call.

It is serialized as: the first 2 bytes encode the length (n) of the data, followed by this many bytes for the data (data):

AdditionalData ::= (n: Byte²) (data: Byteⁿ)

Note

This type is passed in a parameter for smart contract function calls. Be aware of the parameter size limit of 1024 bytes.

MetadataUrl

A URL and optional checksum for metadata stored outside of this contract.

It is serialized as: 2 bytes for the length of the metadata url (n) and then this many bytes for the url to the metadata (url) followed by an optional checksum. The checksum is serialized by 1 byte to indicate whether a hash of the metadata is included, if its value is 0, then no content hash, if the value is 1 then 32 bytes for a SHA256 hash (hash) is followed:

MetadataChecksum ::= (0: Byte)
                   | (1: Byte) (hash: Byte³²)

MetadataUrl ::= (n: Byte²) (url: Byteⁿ) (checksum: MetadataChecksum)

Contract functions

A smart contract implementing CIS1 MUST export three functions transfer, updateOperator and balanceOf according to the following description:

transfer

Executes a list of token transfers. A transfer is a token ID, an amount of tokens to be transferred, and the from address and to address.

When transferring tokens to a contract address additional information for a receive function hook to trigger is required.

Parameter

The parameter is a list of transfers.

It is serialized as: 2 bytes representing the number of transfers (n) followed by the bytes for this number of transfers (transfers). Each transfer is serialized as: a TokenID (id), a TokenAmount (amount), the token owner address Address (from), the receiving address Receiver (to) and some additional data (data):

Transfer ::= (id: TokenID) (amount: TokenAmount) (from: Address) (to: Receiver) (data: AdditionalData)

TransferParameter ::= (n: Byte²) (transfers: Transferⁿ)

Note

Be aware of the smart contract parameter size limit of 1024 bytes. Since the byte size of a single transfer can vary in size, this will limit the number of transfers that can be included in the same function call. Currently, with the smallest possible transfers, the parameter can contain 21 transfers and with the biggest possible transfer, it will take the whole parameter.

Receive hook parameter

The parameter for the receive function hook contains information about the transfer, the name of the token contract and some additional data bytes.

It is serialized as: a TokenID (id), a TokenAmount (amount), the token owner address Address (from), the name of the token contract ContractName (contract) and AdditionalData (data):

ReceiveHookParameter ::= (id: TokenID) (amount: TokenAmount) (from: Address) (contract: ContractName) (data: AdditionalData)
Requirements
  • The list of transfers MUST be executed in order.

  • The contract function MUST reject if any of the transfers fails to be executed.

  • A transfer MUST fail if:

  • A transfer MUST non-strictly decrease the balance of the from address and non-strictly increase the balance of the to address or fail.

  • A transfer with the same address as from and to MUST be executed as a normal transfer.

  • A transfer of a token amount zero MUST be executed as a normal transfer.

  • A transfer of some amount of a token type MUST only transfer the exact amount of the given token type between balances.

  • A transfer of any amount of a token type to a contract address MUST call receive hook function on the receiving smart contract with a receive hook parameter.

  • Let operator be an operator of the address owner. A transfer of any amount of a token type from an address owner sent by an address operator MUST be executed as if the transfer was sent by owner.

  • The contract function MUST reject if a receive hook function called on the contract receiving tokens rejects.

  • The balance of an address not owning any amount of a token type SHOULD be treated as having a balance of zero.

Warning

Be aware of transferring tokens to a non-existing account address. This specification by itself does not include a mechanism to recover these tokens. Checking the existence of an account address would ideally be done off-chain before the message is even sent to the token smart contract.

updateOperator

Add or remove a number of addresses as operators of the address sending this message.

Parameter

The parameter contains a list of operator updates. An operator update contains information whether to add or remove an operator and the address to add/remove as operator. It does not contain the address which is adding/removing the operator as this will be the sender of the message invoking this function.

The parameter is serialized as: first 2 bytes (n) for the number of updates followed by this number of operator updates (updates). An operator update is serialized as: 1 byte (update) indicating whether to remove or add an operator, where if the byte value is 0 the sender is removing an operator, if the byte value is 1 the sender is adding an operator. The is followed by the operator address (operator) Address to add or remove as operator for the sender:

OperatorUpdate ::= (0: Byte) // Remove operator
                 | (1: Byte) // Add operator

UpdateOperator ::= (update: OperatorUpdate) (operator: Address)

UpdateOperatorParameter ::= (n: Byte²) (updates: UpdateOperatorⁿ)
Requirements
  • The list of updates MUST be executed in order.

  • The contract function MUST NOT increase or decrease the balance of any address for any token type.

  • The balance of an address not owning any amount of a token type SHOULD be treated as having a balance of zero.

  • The contract function MUST reject if any of the updates fails to be executed.

balanceOf

Query balances of a list of addresses and token IDs, the result is then sent to a provided contract address.

Parameter

The parameter consists of a name of the contract address and receive function to callback with the result and a list of token ID and address pairs.

BalanceOfParameter ::= (resultContract: ContractAddress) (resultHook: ReceiveHookName) (n: Byte²) (queries: BalanceOfQueryⁿ)

Note

Be aware of the size limit on contract function parameters which currently is 1024 bytes, which puts a limit on the number of queries depending on the byte size of the Token ID and the name of the receive function.

Result parameter

The parameter for the callback receive function is a list of pairs, where each pair is a query and an amount of tokens.

OperatorOfParameter ::= (resultContract: ContractAddress) (resultHook: ReceiveHookName) (n: Byte²) (queries: OperatorOfQueryⁿ)

Note

Be aware of the size limit on contract function parameters which currently is 1024 bytes, which puts a limit on the number of queries depending on the name of the receive function.

Result parameter

The parameter for the callback receive function is a list of pairs, where each pair consist of a query and a boolean.

It is serialized as: 2 bytes for the number of query-boolean pairs (n) and then this number of pairs (results). A query-boolean pair is serialized as a query (query) and then a byte with value 0 for false and 1 for true (isOperator):

Bool ::= (0: Byte) // False
       | (1: Byte) // True

Result parameter

The parameter for the callback receive function is a list of pairs, where each pair consist of a token ID and the corresponding token metadata URL.

It is serialized as: 2 bytes for the number of queries (n) and then this number of result pairs (results). A pair is serialized as a TokenID (id) and then a MetadataUrl (metadata):

TokenMetadataResult ::= (id: TokenID) (metadata: MetadataUrl)

TokenMetadataResultParameter ::= (n: Byte²) (results: TokenMetadataResultⁿ)
Requirements
  • The contract function MUST NOT increase or decrease the balance of any address for any token type.

  • The contract function MUST NOT add or remove any operator for any address.

  • The contract function MUST reject if any of the queries fail:

Logged events

The idea of the logged events for this specification is for off-chain applications to be able to track balances and operators without knowledge of the contract-specific implementation details. For this reason it is important to log events in any functionality of the token contract which modifies balances or operators.

  • It MUST be possible to derive the balance of an address for a token type from the logged TransferEvent, MintEvent and BurnEvent events.

  • It MUST be safe to assume that with no events logged, every address have zero tokens and no operators enabled for any address.

The events defined by this specification are serialized using one byte to the discriminate the different events. Any custom event SHOULD NOT have a first byte colliding with any of the events defined by this specification.

TransferEvent

A TransferEvent event MUST be logged for every amount of a token type changing ownership from one address to another.

The TransferEvent event is serialized as: first a byte with the value of 255, followed by the token ID TokenID (id), an amount of tokens TokenAmount (amount), from address Address (from) and to address Address (to):

TransferEvent ::= (255: Byte) (id: TokenID) (amount: TokenAmount) (from: Address) (to: Address)

MintEvent

A MintEvent event MUST be logged every time a new token is minted. This also applies when introducing new token types and the initial token types and amounts in a contract. Minting a token with a zero amount can be used to indicating the existence of a token type without minting any amount of tokens.

The MintEvent event is serialized as: first a byte with the value of 254, followed by the token ID TokenID (id), an amount of tokens being minted TokenAmount (amount) and the owner address of the tokens Address (to):

MintEvent ::= (254: Byte) (id: TokenID) (amount: TokenAmount) (to: Address)

Note

Be aware of the limit on the number of logs per smart contract function call which currently is 64. A token smart contract function which needs to mint a large number of token types with token metadata might hit this limit.

BurnEvent

A BurnEvent event MUST be logged every time an amount of a token type is burned.

Summing all of the minted amounts from MintEvent events and subtracting all of the burned amounts from BurnEvent events for a token type MUST sum up to the total supply for the token type. The total supply of a token type MUST be in the inclusive range of [0, 2^64 - 1].

The BurnEvent event is serialized as: first a byte with the value of 253, followed by the token ID TokenID (id), an amount of tokens being burned TokenAmount (amount) and the owner address of the tokens Address (from):

BurnEvent ::= (253: Byte) (id: TokenID) (amount: TokenAmount) (from: Address)

UpdateOperatorEvent

The event to log when updating an operator of some address.

The UpdateOperatorEvent event is serialized as: first a byte with the value of 252, followed by a OperatorUpdate (update), then the owner address updating an operator Address (owner) and an operator address Address (operator) being added or removed:

UpdateOperatorEvent ::= (252: Byte) (update: OperatorUpdate) (owner: Address) (operator: Address)

TokenMetadataEvent

The event to log when setting the metadata url for a token type.

It consists of a token ID and a URL (RFC 3986) for the location of the metadata for this token type with an optional SHA256 checksum of the content. Logging the TokenMetadataEvent event again with the same token ID, is used to update the metadata location and only the most recently logged token metadata event for certain token id should be used to get the token metadata.

The TokenMetadataEvent event is serialized as: first a byte with the value of 251, followed by the token ID TokenID (id) and then a MetadataUrl (metadata):

TokenMetadataEvent ::= (251: Byte) (id: TokenID) (metadata: MetadataUrl)

Note

Be aware of the limit on the number of logs per smart contract function call, which currently is 64, and also the byte size limit on each logged event, which currently is 512 bytes. This will limit the length of the metadata URL depending on the size of the token ID and whether a content hash is included. With the largest possible token ID and a content hash included; the URL can be up to 220 bytes.

Rejection errors

A smart contract following this specification MUST reject the specified errors found in this specification with the following error codes:

Name

Error code

Description

INVALID_TOKEN_ID

-42000001

Smart contract limitations

A number of limitations are important to be aware of:

  • Smart contract state size is limited to 16 KiB.

  • Smart contract function parameters are limited to 1 KiB.

  • Each logged event is limited to 0.5 KiB.

  • The number of logged events is limited to 64 per contract function invocation.

  • The total size of the smart contract module is limited to 64 KiB.

Note

Smart contracts, where the contract state size limit is too low, can distribute the state across multiple smart contract instances.

Decisions and rationale

In this section we point out some of the differences from other popular token standards found on other blockchains, and provide reasons for deviating from them in CIS1.

Token ID bytes instead an integer

Token standards such as ERC721 and ERC1155 both use a 256-bit unsigned integer (32 bytes) for the token ID, to support using something like a SHA256 hash for the token ID. But in the case where the token ID have no significance other than a simple identifier, smaller sized token IDs can reduce energy costs. This is why we chose to let the first byte indicate the size of the token ID, meaning a token ID can vary between 1 byte and 256 bytes, resulting in more than 10^614 possible token IDs.

Only batched transfers

The specification only has a transfer smart contract function which takes list of transfer and no function for a single transfer. This will result in lower energy cost compared to multiple contract calls and only introduces a small overhead for single transfers. The reason for not also including a single transfer function is to have smaller smart contract modules, which in turn leads to saving cost on every function call.

No explicit authorization

The specification does not mandate any authorization scheme and one might expect a requirement for the owner and operators being authorized to transfer tokens. This is very much intentional and the reasoning for this is to keep the specification focused on the interface for transferring token ownership with as few restrictions as possible.

Having a requirement that only owners and operators can transfer would prevent introducing any other authorization scheme on top of this specification.

Adding a requirement for owners and operators being authorized to transfer tokens would prevent introducing custom contract logic rejecting transfers, such as limiting the daily transfers, temporary token lockups or non-transferrable tokens.

Instead, this specification includes a requirement to ensure transfers by operators are executed as if they are sent by the owner, meaning whenever a token owner is authorized, so is an operator of the owner.

Most contracts implementing this specification should probably add some authorization and not have anyone being able to transfer any token, but this is not in the scope of this standard.

No token-level approval/allowance like in ERC20 and ERC721

This standard only specifies address-level operators and not token-level operators. The main argument is simplicity and to save energy cost on common cases, but other reasons are:

  • Token-level operators require the token smart contract to track more state, which increases the overall energy cost.

  • For token smart contracts with a lot of token types, such as a smart contract with a large collection of NFTs, token-level operators could become very expensive.

  • For fungible tokens; approval/allowance introduces an attack vector.

Note

The specification does not prevent adding more fine-grained authorization, such as token-level operators.

Receive hook function

The specification requires a token receive hook to be called on a smart contract receiving tokens, this will in some cases prevent mistakes such as sending tokens to smart contracts which do not define behavior for receiving tokens. These token could then be lost forever.

The reason for this not being optional is to allow other smart contracts which integrate with a token smart contract to rely on this for functionality.

Warning

The smart contract receive hook function could be called by any smart contract and it is up to the integrating contract whether to trust the token contract.

Receive hook function callback argument

The name of the receive hook function called on a smart contract receiving tokens is supplied as part of the parameter. This allows for a smart contract integrating with a token smart contract to have multiple hooks and leave it to the caller to know which hook they want to trigger.

Another technical reason is that the name of the smart contract is part of the smart contract receive function name, which means the specification would include a requirement of the smart contract name for others to integrate reliably.

No sender hook function

The FA2 token standard found on Tezos, allows for a hook function to be called on a smart contract sending tokens, such that the contract could reject the transfer on some criteria. This seems to only make sense, if some operator is transferring tokens from a contract, in which case the sender smart contract might as well contain the logic to transfer the tokens and trigger this directly.

Explicit events for mint and burn

ERC20, ERC721 and ERC1155 use a transfer event from or to the zero address to indicate mint and burn respectively, but since there are no such thing as the zero address on the Concordium blockchain these events are separate. Making it more explicit instead of special case transfer events.

No error code for receive hook rejecting

The specification could include an error code for the receive hook function to return if rejecting the token transferred (as seen in the FA2 standard on Tezos). But we chose to leave this error code up to the receiving smart contract, which allows for more informative error codes.

Adding SHA256 checksum for token metadata event

A token can optionally include a SHA256 checksum when logging the token metadata event, this is to ensure the integrity of the token metadata. This checksum can be updated by logging a new event.
