Tokens: stLuna and bLuna
stLuna and bLuna tokens are assets built for the Terra blockchain, their value backed by underlying Luna delegations. stLuna and bLuna tokens follow full compliance with the Cw20 standard, having the potential to be integrated into a wide variety of decentralized finance applications.
Base#
This handles balances and transfers. Note that all amounts are
handled as Uint128 (128 bit integers with JSON string representation).
Handling decimals is left to the UI and not interpreted
Messages#
Transfer{recipient, amount} - Moves amount tokens from the
env.sender account to the recipient account. This is designed to
send to an address controlled by a private key and does not trigger
any actions on the recipient if it is a contract.
Send{contract, amount, msg} - Moves amount tokens from the
env.sender account to the recipient account. contract must be an
address of a contract that implements the Receiver interface. The msg
will be passed to the recipient contract, along with the amount.
Burn{amount} - Remove amount tokens from the balance of env.sender
and reduce total_supply by the same amount.
Queries#
Balance{address} - Returns the balance of the given address.
Returns "0" if the address is unknown to the contract. Return type
is BalanceResponse{balance}.
TokenInfo{} - Returns the token info of the contract. Return type is
TokenInfoResponse{name, symbol, decimal, total_supply}.
Receiver#
The counter-part to Send is Receive, which must be implemented by
any contract that wishes to manage CW20 tokens. This is generally not
implemented by any CW20 contract.
Receive{sender, amount, msg} - This is designed to handle Send
messages. The address of the contract is stored in env.sender
so it cannot be faked. The contract should ensure the sender matches
the token contract it expects to handle, and not allow arbitrary addresses.
The sender is the original account requesting to move the tokens
and msg is a Binary data that can be decoded into a contract-specific
message. This can be empty if we have only one default action,
or it may be a ReceiveMsg variant to clarify the intention. For example,
if I send to a uniswap contract, I can specify which token I want to swap
against using this field.
Allowances#
A contract may allow actors to delegate some of their balance to other
accounts. This is not as essential as with ERC20 as we use Send/Receive
to send tokens to a contract, not Approve/TransferFrom. But it
is still a nice use-case, and you can see how the Cosmos SDK wants to add
payment allowances to native tokens. This is mainly designed to provide
access to other public-key-based accounts.
There was an issue with race conditions in the original ERC20 approval spec. If you had an approval of 50 and I then want to reduce it to 20, I submit a Tx to set the allowance to 20. If you see that and immediately submit a tx using the entire 50, you then get access to the other 20. Not only did you quickly spend the 50 before I could reduce it, you get another 20 for free.
The solution discussed in the Ethereum community was an IncreaseAllowance
and DecreaseAllowance operator (instead of Approve). To originally set
an approval, use IncreaseAllowance, which works fine with no previous allowance.
DecreaseAllowance is meant to be robust, that is if you decrease by more than
the current allowance (eg. the user spent some in the middle), it will just round
down to 0 and not make any underflow error.
Messages#
IncreaseAllowance{spender, amount, expires} - Set or increase the allowance
such that spender may access up to amount + current_allowance tokens
from the env.sender account. This may optionally come with an Expiration
time, which if set limits when the approval can be used (by time or height).
DecreaseAllowance{spender, amount, expires} - Decrease or clear the allowance
such that spender may access up to current_allowance - amount tokens
from the env.sender account. This may optionally come with an Expiration
time, which if set limits when the approval can be used (by time or height).
If amount >= current_allowance, this will clear the allowance (delete it).
TransferFrom{owner, recipient, amount} - This makes use of an allowance
and if there was a valid, un-expired pre-approval for the env.sender,
then we move amount tokens from owner to recipient and deduct it
from the available allowance.
SendFrom{owner, contract, amount, msg} - SendFrom is to Send, what
TransferFrom is to Transfer. This allows a pre-approved account to
not just transfer the tokens, but to send them to another contract
to trigger a given action. Note SendFrom will set the Receive{sender}
to be the env.sender (the account that triggered the transfer)
rather than the owner account (the account the money is coming from).
This is an open question whether we should switch this?
BurnFrom{owner, amount} - This works like TransferFrom, but burns
the tokens instead of transfering them. This will reduce the owner's
balance, total_supply and the caller's allowance.
Queries#
Allowance{owner, spender} - This returns the available allowance
that spender can access from the owner's account, along with the
expiration info. Return type is AllowanceResponse{balance, expiration}.
Mintable#
This allows another contract to mint new tokens, possibly with a cap. There is only one minter specified here, if you want more complex access management, please use a multisig or other contract as the minter address and handle updating the ACL there.
Messages#
Mint{recipient, amount} - If the env.sender is the allowed minter,
this will create amount new tokens (updating total supply) and
add them to the balance of recipient, as long as it does not exceed the cap.
Queries#
Minter{} - Returns who and how much can be minted. Return type is
MinterResponse {minter, cap}. Cap may be unset.
If the cap is set, it defines the maximum total_supply that may ever exist.
If initial supply is 1000 and cap is Some(2000), you can only mint 1000 more tokens.
However, if someone then burns 500 tokens, the minter can mint those 500 again.
This allows for dynamic token supply within a set of parameters, especially when
the minter is a smart contract.
Enumerable#
This should be enabled with all blockchains that have iterator support. It allows us to get lists of results with pagination.
Marketing#
This allows us to attach more metadata on the token to help with displaying the token in wallets. When you see a token's website, then see it in a wallet, you know what it is. However, if you see it in a wallet or a DEX trading pair, there is no clear way to find out any more info about it.
This extension allows us to attach more "Marketing" metadata, which has no effect on the
on-chain functionality of the token, but is very useful in providing a better client-side
experience. Note, that we add a new role marketing, which can update such info, but not
affect on-chain logic.
Messages#
UploadLogo{url | embedded} - If the env.sender is the allowed marketing account,
this will either set a new URL reference where the logo is served, or allow them to upload
a small (less than 5KB) SVG or PNG logo onto the blockchain to be served.
UpdateMarketing{project, description, marketing} - If the env.sender is the allowed marketing
account, this will update some marketing-related metadata on the contract.
Queries#
MarketingInfo{} - Returns marketing-related metadata. Return type is
MarketingInfoResponse {project, description, logo, marketing}.
DownloadLogo{} - If the token's logo was previously uploaded to the blockchain
(see UploadLogo message), then it returns the raw data to be displayed in a browser.
Return type is DownloadLogoResponse{ mime_type, data }.
Queries#
AllAllowances{owner, start_after, limit} - Returns the list of all non-expired allowances
by the given owner. start_after and limit provide pagination.
AllAccounts{start_after, limit} - Returns the list of all accounts that have been created on
the contract (just the addresses). start_after and limit provide pagination.
