Problem Statement

TR8 Protocol revolutionizes NFTs by offering a decentralized, cross-chain protocol that enables individuals and organizations to create, manage, and showcase unique attestations and achievements.PermissionlessTR8 Protocol is permissionless. Anyone can create a drop/collection onanytopic withanycontent. TR8 drops doNOThave to be vetted nor approved by a committee or company or organization or DAO. A side-effect of this permissionless nature is that content-filtering becomes the responsibility of front-ends, each of which can apply their own standards for curating content. TR8 Protocol envisions many different front-ends, some general in nature and others focused on specific applications like events, educational credentials, in-game assets, etc.ComposabiltyTR8 is composable through the structured data in the source attestations, and well as via optional hook contracts that issuers can deploy to tightly integrate TR8s into their own protocols and control who can claim their TR8s and whatextrashappen when they do.OP Stack SuperchainThe Superchain of OP Stack chains is the home for TR8 Protocol, currently deployed toOptimism,Base, andZora(testnets).Cross-chainAll TR8 NFTs are cross-chain by nature and can currently be moved between Optimism, Base, and Zora, with more to follow.

Solution

At its core, TR8 protocol use EAS attestations as the base layer. There are two kinds of attestations that TR8 issuers and claimers make:"New Drop" Attestations.This is an attestation to create a new drop or collection, whether it be a badge for event attendance, an educational certificate, or something else. The attestation includes the structured data for the drop as well as lists of who can issue and/or claim the TR8s. When a new drop attestation is made, a dedicated NFT contract/collection is deployed for the drop. The collection isownedby the issuer enabling them to customize the collection's appearance on OpenSea and other marketplaces and directories. A drop can have anexpiry date, a deadline for minting the TR8s in the drop. Drops can be configured as soulbound (non-transferable), or trade-able.Mint/Claim Attestations.These attestion can be made either by anissuer(admin) or a claimer. In both cases therecipientof the attestation is the one who will receive the TR8, if eligible. Configuredissuersfor a drop canissue(mint) a TR8 toanyaddress. Configuredclaimerscan claim a TR8 for themselves (they are both theattesterand therecipientin these claim attestations). When these attestation are made,hooksare called if configured, enabling limitless composability and providing flexibility on gating who can and cannot claim TR8s in the drop (more on hooks below). Eligible recipients will receive a TR8 NFT for the Drop, adding to their onchain identity.NamespacesTR8 drops feature optional reservednamespaces, enabling issuing organizations to group their drops under a single namespace that is reserved for them.TR8 Protocol ContractsWhile TR8 users interact primarily through making attestations to the EAS contract, there are several contracts deployed as part of TR8 protocol.TR8.sol- The TR8 contract provides several functions. It acts an a EASSchemaResolver, hooks that get called when each attestation is made or revoked. When a minting/claiming attestation is made, theonAttest()hook triggers the minting of the TR8 to eigible attestation recipients. When a "new TR8 drop" attestation is made, the hook triggers the deployment of a dedicated NFT contract for the drop. In this way, the contract also acts as a Factory contract which minimally clones NFT contracts. The attestation includes NFT metadata and access permissions for issuers and claimers, stored onchain within the attestation and/or newly deployed contract. Finally, theTR8contract acts a registry for drops and keeps track of reservednameSpacesfor issuers.TR8Nft.sol- This is the implementation contract for TR8 NFTs. Each drop gets it own contract/collection which getsclonedfrom this contract. These NFTs are cross-chain NFTs that implement theERC721Transportableinterface to faciliate arrivals and departures.TR8Transporter.sol- Powered by LayerZero, this contract is a transport hub formanyTR8 NFT contracts. One transporter is deployed per chain and all movement of NFTs move through them. If a transporter detects that a drop NFT contract has not yet been deployed on the destination chain, it calls out to theTR8contract on that chain to deploy, at the same address as the home chain.Optional TR8 Hook contractsTR8 Protocol is composable, and issuers can create their ownTR8Hookcontracts that get called each time a minting/claiming attestation is made. Hooks can add logic to allow/deny minting, integrate with third party protocols, and thousands of other things. Four example hook contracts were created and deployed:TR8HookNFTClaimer.sol- This hook enables claiming of a TR8 only if the recipient is a current owner of an NFT from another collection. This could be used to issue TR8s to members of a DAO, or to reward NFT community members.TR8HookNeedEth.sol- This hook requires the the recipient has some amount of native token (ether). This could be used to limit hoarding/scamming of TR8 drops. One can imagine a similar contract that requires a certain balance of a specificERC20token.TR8HookFaucet.sol- This hook acts as faucet, sending tokens to eligible recipients. Note that when a hook is specified for a drop, it doesn't override the specified list of claimers who are allowed to mint/claim the TR8. Rather a hook can revert to prevent the issuance of the TR8 or add new addresses to the claimers list. In this example hook, it does neither, but will drip tokens only to those already eligible for the TR8.TR8HookStreamer.sol- This hook works similar to the faucet, by starts a real-time stream of tokens to the TR8 receipient, powered by the Superfluid protocol. One can imagine gaming applications that perform similar actions.Deployed Contracts AddressesNote all equivalent contracts aredeployed to the same address on each chain.TR8Nftcontract:0x868F83D1c9349B6c7bA793A0D71Dfb66e60e01Ef:Optimism-Base-ZoraTR8contract:0xC3b0c31C16D341eb09aa3698964369D2b6744108:Optimism-Base-ZoraTR8Transportercontract:0x54C9935e58141cc5b1B4417bb478C7D25228Bfc0:Optimism-BaseExample hook contracts were deployed only to the "home chain", Optimism:TR8HookFaucetcontract:0x6072fB0F43Bea837125a3B37B3CF04e76ddd3f19:OptimismTR8HookStreamercontract:0xFc3d67C7A95c1c051Db54608313Bd62E9Cd38A76:OptimismTR8HookNFTClaimercontract:0x9F570E88B5CDef206d2633aA3278ac5bceCd4cD8:OptimismTR8HookNeedEthcontract:0x4a62d7B300b505e44066E51B0b635ddb5044955d:Optimism
