ERC-7204: Contract wallet management token
Abstract
This proposal introduces a smart contract wallet-based approach for managing tokens, focusing on utilizing the programmable features of smart contract wallets for asset management. Additionally, it introduces functions such as tokenTransfer
, tokenApprove
, tokenApproveForAll
, tokenIsApproveForAll
and tokenAllowance
, which provide enhanced control over token transactions. This approach seeks to enhance token management by utilizing the built-in features of smart contract wallets, thus offering a more adaptable, secure, and efficient method for managing token transactions.
Motivation
An externally-owned account (EOA) wallet has no state and code storage, while the smart contract wallet does.
Account abstraction (AA) is a direction of the smart contract wallet, which works around abstract accounts. This ERC can also be an extension based on ERC-4337 or as a plug-in for wallets.
The smart contract wallet allows the user's own account to have state and code, bringing programmability to the wallet. We think there are more directions to expand. For example, token asset management, functional expansion of token transactions, etc.
The smart contract wallet interface of this ERC is for asset management and asset approval. It supports the simpletoken ERC-X, and ERC-20 is backward compatible with ERC-X, so it can be compatible with the management of all fungible tokens in the existing market.
The proposal aims to achieve the following goals:
Assets are allocated and managed by the wallet itself, such as
approve
andallowance
, which are configured by the userโs contract wallet, rather than controlled by the token asset contract, to avoid some existing ERC-20 contract risks.Add the
tokenTransfer
function, the transaction initiated by the non-smart wallet itself or will verify the allowance amount.Add
tokenApprove
,tokenAllowance
,tokenApproveForAll
,tokenIsApproveForAll
functions. The user wallet itself supports approve and provides approve. for single token assets and all token assets.user wallet can choose batch approve and batch transfer.
Users can choose to add hook function before and after their
tokenTransfer
to increase the user's more playability.The user can choose to implement the
tokenReceive
function.
Specification
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 and RFC 8174.
** Compliant contract must implement the ERC-165 interfaces**
Rationale
the key technical decisions in this proposal are:
Improved Approve Mechanism
Current vs. Proposed: In the existing ERC-20 system, an externally-owned account (EOA) directly interacts with token contracts to
approve
. The newtokenApprove
andtokenApproveForAll
functions in this proposed enable more precise control over token usage within a wallet contract, a significant improvement over the traditional method.Enhanced Security: This mechanism mitigates risks like token over-approval by shifting approval control to the user's smart contract wallet.
Programmability: Users gain the ability to set advanced approval strategies, such as conditional or time-limited approvals, the
tokenApproveForAll
function specifically allows for a universal setting all tokens. these were not possible with traditional ERC-20 tokens.
Optimized Transfer Process
Efficiency and Security: The
tokenTransfer
function streamlines the token transfer process, making transactions both more efficient and secure.Flexibility: Allows the integration of custom logic (hooks) before and after transfers, enabling additional security checks or specific actions tailored to the userโs needs.
Support for Batch Operations
Increased Efficiency: Users can simultaneously handle multiple
approve
ortransfer
operations, significantly boosting transaction efficiency.Enhanced User Experience: Simplifies the management of numerous assets, improving the overall experience for users with large portfolios.
Backwards Compatibility
This ERC can be used as an extension of ERC-4337 and is backward compatible with ERC-4337.
