dGoods

dGoods is an open source and free standard for handling the virtual representation of items, both digital and physical, on the EOS blockchain led by Mythical Games. Fungible and non-fungible tokens are represented in this standard, as well as what we term semi-fungible tokens. These are nft's that share many properties but have at minimum a unique serial number. Things like tickets, luxury goods, or even fractionalized ownership are well suited to this classification and therefore, a major focus of this standard.

Three most important properties of dGoods which differentiate from other token standards

  1. hierarchical naming structure of category:name for each token or set of tokens, enabling filtering and organization of tokens

  2. focus on semi-fungible tokens -- that is, tokens that are 1 of n with a serial number or slightly different metadata

  3. opensource metadata types and standardization for each type with localization, eg 3dGameAsset, Ticket, etc

Basic Usage Tutorial

Changes

v1.0

Many changes have occured since v0.4 that made it into the 1.0 release. Some of these changes are not backwards compatible since changes were made to multiple tables' structure. It is recommended to start from a fresh contract rather than try and migrate data to the new version.

We have a basic usage tutorial

General

  • general bug fixes
  • removed custom dasset type in favor of standard asset type
  • removed inline actions in most places to comply with EOS 1.8 changes
  • issue function made batch

Added Features

  • add sellable flag
  • ex. transferable=false, sellable=true, can still trade; in fact becomes only way to effectively transfer item
  • add locking mechanism for use when selling and for future use in renting
    • enables listing for sale while keeping item until sell occurs
  • enable configurable fee per token type used in sale
    • enables an artist or creator to benefit from the resale market
  • listsalenft now batch as well
    • can list multiple dgoods for sale as a batch

v0.4

  • update code to be compatible with CDT 1.6.1
  • add checks for invalid amounts
  • allow EOS to be sent without invoking buynft by setting memo to "deposit"

v0.3beta

  • release of beta implementation

DEX in a token (simple marketplace functionality)

  • listing tokens for sale is now built into the token itself
  • listsalenft: callable ownly by owner; creates a sale listing in the token contract valid for 1 week, transfers ownership to token contract
  • closesalenft: callable by seller if listing hasn't expired, or anyone if the listing is expired; will remove listing and return nft to seller
  • buynft: called when a user sends EOS to the dgood contract with a memo of "dgood_id,to_account"
  • the buy action allows a user (or marketplace) to buy on behalf of another user

Metadata URI changes

  • metadata_uri is now formed from a base_uri + either the dgood_id or relative_uri if it exists
  • create now takes a base_uri string
  • issue has a relative_uri parameter, but it is now optional (enter empty string)
  • if no relative_uri is specified on a given token, the metadata should be accessed by taking base_uri + dgood_id
  • if a relative_uri exists, the metadata is base_uri + relative_uri
  • this serves multiple purposes, but the most important is that it saves an immense amount of RAM compared to the total cost of creating a single token
  • can still accommodate ipfs

Table Changes

  • table names and table types now matchin abi making decoding easier from state history
  • some table names were changed to be more precise
  • tokenstats -> dgoodstats
  • tokeninfo -> dgood
  • tokeninfo_id -> dgood_id

Misc

  • replaced _self with get_self() for future proofing
  • actions dealing with fungible tokens now have ft appended (ex burn -> burnft)
  • trim functionality implemented when parsing string
  • fungible tokens can be created with precision of 0 and no decimal place (ex 10)
  • precision mismatch assert will print what precision is required
  • logcall function logs the dgood_id during issuance to aid in matching transaction with action

v0.2

  • contract implementation shared with collaborating teams for feedback/security checks

Token config

  • renamed symbolinfo table to tokenconfigs
  • added name of the standard (dgoods), version, and changed symbol type to symbol_code
  • added corresponding method called setconfig to set the symbol and version

Asset / Quantities

  • introduce dasset type, similar to EOS asset but without unnecessary symbol
  • dasset has functionality to convert from string
  • all quantities are passed in as strings and converted to a dasset type
  • precision is set similar to EOS asset and all numbers are converted to uint64_t

Issuance

  • issue now takes a metadata_type
  • tokeninfo table adds metadata_type onto the token instead of just in the metadata itself

Transfer

  • fungible transfer parameters change to include category, token_name

Token Stats Table

  • added issued_supply to keep track of serial_number when a token has been burned (ie current_supply is decreased but issued_supply never decreases)

Metadata Templates

  • localization added
  • Instead of just json object, metadata is an array of json objects with a lang key that specifies the language
