Fungible Token Event

Version 1.0.0

Summary

Standard interfaces for FT contract actions. Extension of NEP-297

Motivation

NEAR and third-party applications need to track mint, transfer, burn events for all FT-driven apps consistently. This extension addresses that.

Keep in mind that applications, including NEAR Wallet, could require implementing additional methods, such as ft_metadata, to display the FTs correctly.

Interface

Fungible Token Events MUST have standard set to "nep141", standard version set to "1.0.0", event value is one of ft_mint, ft_burn, ft_transfer, and data must be of one of the following relevant types: FtMintLog[] | FtTransferLog[] | FtBurnLog[]:

interface FtEventLogData {
    standard: "nep141",
    version: "1.0.0",
    event: "ft_mint" | "ft_burn" | "ft_transfer",
    data: FtMintLog[] | FtTransferLog[] | FtBurnLog[],
}

// An event log to capture tokens minting
// Arguments
// * `owner_id`: "account.near"
// * `amount`: the number of tokens to mint, wrapped in quotes and treated
//   like a string, although the number will be stored as an unsigned integer
//   with 128 bits.
// * `memo`: optional message
interface FtMintLog {
    owner_id: string,
    amount: string,
    memo?: string
}

// An event log to capture tokens burning
// Arguments
// * `owner_id`: owner of tokens to burn
// * `amount`: the number of tokens to burn, wrapped in quotes and treated
//   like a string, although the number will be stored as an unsigned integer
//   with 128 bits.
// * `memo`: optional message
interface FtBurnLog {
    owner_id: string,
    amount: string,
    memo?: string
}

// An event log to capture tokens transfer
// Arguments
// * `old_owner_id`: "owner.near"
// * `new_owner_id`: "receiver.near"
// * `amount`: the number of tokens to transfer, wrapped in quotes and treated
//   like a string, although the number will be stored as an unsigned integer
//   with 128 bits.
// * `memo`: optional message
interface FtTransferLog {
    old_owner_id: string,
    new_owner_id: string,
    amount: string,
    memo?: string
}

Examples

Batch mint:

EVENT_JSON:{
    "standard": "nep141",
    "version": "1.0.0",
    "event": "ft_mint",
    "data": [
        {"owner_id": "foundation.near", "amount": "500"}
    ]
}

Batch transfer:

EVENT_JSON:{
    "standard": "nep141",
    "version": "1.0.0",
    "event": "ft_transfer",
    "data": [
        {"old_owner_id": "from.near", "new_owner_id": "to.near", "amount": "42", "memo": "hi hello bonjour"},
        {"old_owner_id": "user1.near", "new_owner_id": "user2.near", "amount": "7500"}
    ]
}

Batch burn:

EVENT_JSON:{
    "standard": "nep141",
    "version": "1.0.0",
    "event": "ft_burn",
    "data": [
        {"owner_id": "foundation.near", "amount": "100"},
    ]
}

Further methods

Note that the example events covered above cover two different kinds of events:

1. Events that are not specified in the FT Standard (ft_mint, ft_burn)
2. An event that is covered in the FT Core Standard. (ft_transfer)
