Token Program

A Token program on the Renec blockchain.

This program defines a common implementation for Fungible and Non Fungible tokens.

Source#

The Token Program's source is available on github

Interface#

The Token Program is written in Rust and available on crates.io and docs.rs.

Auto-generated C bindings are also available here

JavaScript bindings are available that support loading the Token Program on to a chain and issue instructions.

See the RPL Associated Token Account program for convention around wallet address to token account mapping and funding.

Command-line Utility#

The rpl-token command-line utility can be used to experiment with RPL tokens. Once you have Rust installed, run:

$ cargo install rpl-token-cli

Run rpl-token --help for a full description of available commands.

Configuration#

The rpl-token configuration is shared with the renec command-line tool.

Current Configuration#

$ renec config get
Config File: ${HOME}/.config/renec/cli/config.yml
RPC URL: https://api-testnet.renec.foundation:8899
WebSocket URL: wss://api-testnet.renec.foundation:8900 (computed)
Keypair Path: ${HOME}/.config/renec/id.json

Cluster RPC URL#

See Renec clusters for cluster-specific RPC URLs

$ renec config set --url https://api-testnet.renec.foundation:8899

Default Keypair#

See Keypair conventions for information on how to setup a keypair if you don't already have one.

Keypair File

$ renec config set --keypair ${HOME}/new-keypair.json

Hardware Wallet URL (See URL spec)

$ renec config set --keypair usb://ledger/

Airdrop RENEC#

Creating tokens and accounts requires RENEC for account rent deposits and transaction fees. If the cluster you are targeting offers a faucet, you can get a little RENEC for testing:

$ renec airdrop 5

Example: Creating your own fungible token#

$ rpl-token create-token
Creating token AQoKYV7tYpTrFZN6P5oUufbQKAUr9mNYGe1TTJC9wajM
Signature: 47hsLFxWRCg8azaZZPSnQR8DNTRsGyPNfUK7jqyzgt7wf9eag3nSnewqoZrVZHKm8zt3B6gzxhr91gdQ5qYrsRG4

The unique identifier of the token is AQoKYV7tYpTrFZN6P5oUufbQKAUr9mNYGe1TTJC9wajM.

Tokens when initially created by rpl-token have no supply:

$ rpl-token supply AQoKYV7tYpTrFZN6P5oUufbQKAUr9mNYGe1TTJC9wajM
0

Let's mint some. First create an account to hold a balance of the new AQoKYV7tYpTrFZN6P5oUufbQKAUr9mNYGe1TTJC9wajM token:

$ rpl-token create-account AQoKYV7tYpTrFZN6P5oUufbQKAUr9mNYGe1TTJC9wajM
Creating account 7UX2i7SucgLMQcfZ75s3VXmZZY4YRUyJN9X1RgfMoDUi
Signature: 42Sa5eK9dMEQyvD9GMHuKxXf55WLZ7tfjabUKDhNoZRAxj9MsnN7omriWMEHXLea3aYpjZ862qocRLVikvkHkyfy

7UX2i7SucgLMQcfZ75s3VXmZZY4YRUyJN9X1RgfMoDUi is now an empty account:

$ rpl-token balance AQoKYV7tYpTrFZN6P5oUufbQKAUr9mNYGe1TTJC9wajM
0

Mint 100 tokens into the account:

$ rpl-token mint AQoKYV7tYpTrFZN6P5oUufbQKAUr9mNYGe1TTJC9wajM 100
Minting 100 tokens
Token: AQoKYV7tYpTrFZN6P5oUufbQKAUr9mNYGe1TTJC9wajM
Recipient: 7UX2i7SucgLMQcfZ75s3VXmZZY4YRUyJN9X1RgfMoDUi
Signature: 41mARH42fPkbYn1mvQ6hYLjmJtjW98NXwd6pHqEYg9p8RnuoUsMxVd16RkStDHEzcS2sfpSEpFscrJQn3HkHzLaa

The token supply and account balance now reflect the result of minting:

$ rpl-token supply AQoKYV7tYpTrFZN6P5oUufbQKAUr9mNYGe1TTJC9wajM
100
$ rpl-token balance AQoKYV7tYpTrFZN6P5oUufbQKAUr9mNYGe1TTJC9wajM
100

Example: View all Tokens that you own#

$ rpl-token accounts

To unwrap the Token back to RENEC:

$ rpl-token unwrap GJTxcnA5Sydy8YRhqvHxbQ5QNsPyRKvzguodQEaShJje

Example: Transferring tokens to another user#

First the receiver uses rpl-token create-account to create their associated token account for the Token type. Then the receiver obtains their wallet address by running renec address and provides it to the sender.

The sender then runs:

$ rpl-token transfer AQoKYV7tYpTrFZN6P5oUufbQKAUr9mNYGe1TTJC9wajM 50 vines1vzrYbzLMRdu58ou5XTby4qAqVRLmqo36NKPTg
Transfer 50 tokens
Sender: 7UX2i7SucgLMQcfZ75s3VXmZZY4YRUyJN9X1RgfMoDUi

Signature: 5a3qbvoJQnTAxGPHCugibZTbSu7xuTgkxvF4EJupRjRXGgZZrnWFmKzfEzcqKF2ogCaF4QKVbAtuFx7xGwrDUcGd

Example: Transferring tokens to another user, with sender-funding#

If the receiver does not yet have an associated token account, the sender may choose to fund the receiver's account.

The receiver obtains their wallet address by running renec address and provides it to the sender.

The sender then runs to fund the receiver's associated token account, at the sender's expense, and then transfers 50 tokens into it:

$ rpl-token transfer --fund-recipient AQoKYV7tYpTrFZN6P5oUufbQKAUr9mNYGe1TTJC9wajM 50 vines1vzrYbzLMRdu58ou5XTby4qAqVRLmqo36NKPTg

Example: Transferring tokens to an explicit recipient token account#

Tokens may be transferred to a specific recipient token account. The recipient token account must already exist and be of the same Token type.

Example: Create a non-fungible token#

Create the token type with zero decimal place,

Signature: 4kz82JUey1B9ki1McPW7NYv1NqPKCod6WNptSkYqtuiEsQb9exHaktSAHJJsm4YxuGNW4NugPJMFX9ee6WA2dXts

then create an account to hold tokens of this new type:

$ rpl-token create-account 559u4Tdr9umKwft3yHMsnAxohhzkFnUBPAFtibwuZD9z

Now mint only one token into the account,

$ rpl-token mint 559u4Tdr9umKwft3yHMsnAxohhzkFnUBPAFtibwuZD9z 1 7KqpRwzkkeweW5jQoETyLzhvs9rcCj9dVQ1MnzudirsM

and disable future minting:

$ rpl-token authorize 559u4Tdr9umKwft3yHMsnAxohhzkFnUBPAFtibwuZD9z mint --disable

Multisig usage#

The main difference in rpl-token command line usage when referencing multisig accounts is in specifying the --owner argument. Typically the signer specified by this argument directly provides a signature granting its authority, but in the multisig case it just points to the address of the multisig account. Signatures are then provided by the multisig signer-set members specified by the --multisig-signer argument.

Multisig accounts can be used for any authority on an RPL Token mint or token account.

  • Mint account mint authority: rpl-token mint ..., rpl-token authorize ... mint ...
  • Mint account freeze authority: rpl-token freeze ..., rpl-token thaw ..., rpl-token authorize ... freeze ...
  • Token account owner authority: rpl-token transfer ..., rpl-token approve ..., rpl-token revoke ..., rpl-token burn ..., rpl-token wrap ..., rpl-token unwrap ..., rpl-token authorize ... owner ...
  • Token account close authority: rpl-token close ..., rpl-token authorize ... close ...

Example: Mint with multisig authority#

First create keypairs to act as the multisig signer-set. In reality, these can be any supported signer, like: a Ledger hardware wallet, a keypair file, or a paper wallet. For convenience, keypair files will be used in this example.

$ for i in $(seq 3); do renec-keygen new --no-passphrase -so "signer-${i}.json"; done
Wrote new keypair to signer-1.json
Wrote new keypair to signer-2.json
Wrote new keypair to signer-3.json

In order to create the multisig account, the public keys of the signer-set must be collected.

$ for i in $(seq 3); do SIGNER="signer-${i}.json"; echo "$SIGNER: $(renec-keygen pubkey "$SIGNER")"; done
signer-1.json: BzWpkuRrwXHq4SSSFHa8FJf6DRQy4TaeoXnkA89vTgHZ
signer-2.json: DhkUfKgfZ8CF6PAGKwdABRL1VqkeNrTSRx8LZfpPFVNY
signer-3.json: D7ssXHrZJjfpZXsmDf8RwfPxe1BMMMmP1CtmX3WojPmG

Now the multisig account can be created with the rpl-token create-multisig subcommand. Its first positional argument is the minimum number of signers (M) that must sign a transaction affecting a token/mint account that is controlled by this multisig account. The remaining positional arguments are the public keys of all keypairs allowed (N) to sign for the multisig account. This example will use a "2 of 3" multisig account. That is, two of the three allowed keypairs must sign all transactions.

NOTE: RPL Token Multisig accounts are limited to a signer-set of eleven signers (1 <= N <= 11) and minimum signers must be no more than N (1 <= M <= N)

$ rpl-token create-multisig 2 BzWpkuRrwXHq4SSSFHa8FJf6DRQy4TaeoXnkA89vTgHZ \

Next create the token mint and receiving accounts as previously described

$ rpl-token create-token

Then set the mint account's minting authority to the multisig account

$ rpl-token authorize 4VNVRJetwapjwYU8jf4qPgaCeD76wyz8DuNj8yMCQ62o mint 46ed77fd4WTN144q62BwjU2B3ogX3Xmmc8PT5Z3Xc2re

To demonstrate that the mint account is now under control of the multisig account, attempting to mint with one multisig signer fails

$ rpl-token mint 4VNVRJetwapjwYU8jf4qPgaCeD76wyz8DuNj8yMCQ62o 1 EX8zyi2ZQUuoYtXd4MKmyHYLTjqFdWeuoTHcsTdJcKHC \

Example: Offline signing with multisig#

Sometimes online signing is not possible or desireable. Such is the case for example when signers are not in the same geographic location
or when they use air-gapped devices not connected to the network. In this case, we use offline signing which combines the
previous examples of multisig with offline signing and a nonce account.

This example will use the same mint account, token account, multisig account, and multisig signer-set keypair filenames as the online example, as well as a nonce account that we create here:

$ renec-keygen new -o nonce-keypair.json
...

Fee: 5000 lamports per signature
Authority: 5hbZyJ3KRuFvdy5QBxvE9KwK17hzkAUkQHZTxPbiWffE

For the fee-payer and nonce-authority roles, a local hot wallet at 5hbZyJ3KRuFvdy5QBxvE9KwK17hzkAUkQHZTxPbiWffE will be used.

First a template command is built by specifying all signers by their public key. Upon running this command, all signers will be listed as "Absent Signers" in the output. This command will be run by each offline signer to generate the corresponding signature.

NOTE: The argument to the --blockhash parameter is the "Nonce blockhash:" field from the designated durable nonce account.

Finally, the offline signers communicate the Pubkey=Signature pair from the output of their command to the party who will broadcast the transaction to the cluster. The broadcasting party then runs the template command after modifying it as follows:

  1. Replaces any corresponding public keys with their keypair (--fee-payer ... and --nonce-authority ... in this example)
  2. Removes the --sign-only argument, and in the case of the mint subcommand, the --mint-decimals ... argument as it will be queried from the cluster
  3. Adds the offline signatures to the template command via the --signer argument

JSON RPC methods#

There is a rich set of JSON RPC methods available for use with RPL Token:

  • getTokenAccountBalance
  • getTokenAccountsByDelegate
  • getTokenAccountsByOwner
  • getTokenLargestAccounts
  • getTokenSupply

See https://docs.renec.foundation/apps/jsonrpc-api for more details.

Additionally the versatile getProgramAccounts JSON RPC method can be employed in various ways to fetch RPL Token accounts of interest.

Finding all token accounts for a specific mint#

To find all token accounts for the TESTpKgj42ya3st2SQTKiANjTBmncQSCqLAZGcSPLGM mint:

curl http://api.mainnet-beta.renec.com -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"id": 1,
"method": "getProgramAccounts",
"params": [
"TokenkegQfeZyiNwAJbNbGKPFXCWuBvf9Ss623VQ5DA",
{
"encoding": "jsonParsed",
"filters": [
{
"dataSize": 165
},
{
"memcmp": {
"offset": 0,
"bytes": "TESTpKgj42ya3st2SQTKiANjTBmncQSCqLAZGcSPLGM"
}
}
]
}
]
}
'

The "dataSize": 165 filter selects all Token Accounts, and then the "memcmp": ... filter selects based on the mint address within each token account.

Finding all token accounts for a wallet#

Find all token accounts owned by the vines1vzrYbzLMRdu58ou5XTby4qAqVRLmqo36NKPTg user:

curl http://api.mainnet-beta.renec.com -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"id": 1,
"method": "getProgramAccounts",
"params": [
"TokenkegQfeZyiNwAJbNbGKPFXCWuBvf9Ss623VQ5DA",
{

"offset": 32,
"bytes": "vines1vzrYbzLMRdu58ou5XTby4qAqVRLmqo36NKPTg"
}
}
]
}
]
}

The "dataSize": 165 filter selects all Token Accounts, and then the "memcmp": ... filter selects based on the owner address within each token account.

Operational overview#

Creating a new token type#

A new token type can be created by initializing a new Mint with the InitializeMint instruction. The Mint is used to create or "mint" new tokens, and these tokens are stored in Accounts. A Mint is associated with each Account, which means that the total supply of a particular token type is equal to the balances of all the associated Accounts.

It's important to note that the InitializeMint instruction does not require the Renec account being initialized also be a signer. The InitializeMint instruction should be atomically processed with the system instruction that creates the Renec account by including both instructions in the same transaction.

Once a Mint is initialized, the mint_authority can create new tokens using the MintTo instruction. As long as a Mint contains a valid mint_authority, the Mint is considered to have a non-fixed supply, and the mint_authority can create new tokens with the MintTo instruction at any time. The SetAuthority instruction can be used to irreversibly set the Mint's authority to None, rendering the Mint's supply fixed. No further tokens can ever be Minted.

Token supply can be reduced at any time by issuing a Burn instruction which removes and discards tokens from an Account.

Creating accounts#

Accounts hold token balances and are created using the InitializeAccount instruction. Each Account has an owner who must be present as a signer in some instructions.

An Account's owner may transfer ownership of an account to another using the SetAuthority instruction.

It's important to note that the InitializeAccount instruction does not require the Renec account being initialized also be a signer. The InitializeAccount instruction should be atomically processed with the system instruction that creates the Renec account by including both instructions in the same transaction.

Transferring tokens#

Balances can be transferred between Accounts using the Transfer instruction. The owner of the source Account must be present as a signer in the Transfer instruction when the source and destination accounts are different.

It's important to note that when the source and destination of a Transfer are the same, the Transfer will always succeed. Therefore, a successful Transfer does not necessarily imply that the involved Accounts were valid RPL Token accounts, that any tokens were moved, or that the source Account was present as a signer. We strongly recommend that developers are careful about checking that the source and destination are different before invoking a Transfer instruction from within their program.

Burning#

The Burn instruction decreases an Account's token balance without transferring to another Account, effectively removing the token from circulation permanently.

There is no other way to reduce supply on chain. This is similar to transferring to an account with unknown private key or destroying a private key. But the act of burning by using Burn instructions is more explicit and can be confirmed on chain by any parties.

Authority delegation#

Account owners may delegate authority over some or all of their token balance using the Approve instruction. Delegated authorities may transfer or burn up to the amount they've been delegated. Authority delegation may be revoked by the Account's owner via the Revoke instruction.

Multisignatures#

M of N multisignatures are supported and can be used in place of Mint authorities or Account owners or delegates. Multisignature authorities must be initialized with the InitializeMultisig instruction. Initialization specifies the set of N public keys that are valid and the number M of those N that must be present as instruction signers for the authority to be legitimate.

It's important to note that the InitializeMultisig instruction does not require the Renec account being initialized also be a signer. The InitializeMultisig instruction should be atomically processed with the system instruction that creates the Renec account by including both instructions in the same transaction.

Freezing accounts#

The Mint may also contain a freeze_authority which can be used to issue FreezeAccount instructions that will render an Account unusable. Token instructions that include a frozen account will fail until the Account is thawed using the ThawAccount instruction. The SetAuthority instruction can be used to change a Mint's freeze_authority. If a Mint's freeze_authority is set to None then account freezing and thawing is permanently disabled and all currently frozen accounts will also stay frozen permanently.

Wrapping RENEC#

The Token Program can be used to wrap native RENEC. Doing so allows native RENEC to be treated like any other Token program token type and can be useful when being called from other programs that interact with the Token Program's interface.

Accounts containing wrapped RENEC are associated with a specific Mint called the "Native Mint" using the public key So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112.

These accounts have a few unique behaviors

  • InitializeAccount sets the balance of the initialized Account to the RENEC balance of the Renec account being initialized, resulting in a token balance equal to the RENEC balance.
  • Transfers to and from not only modify the token balance but also transfer an equal amount of RENEC from the source account to the destination account.
  • Burning is not supported
  • When closing an Account the balance may be non-zero.

The Native Mint supply will always report 0, regardless of how much RENEC is currently wrapped.

Rent-exemption#

To ensure a reliable calculation of supply, a consistency valid Mint, and consistently valid Multisig accounts all Renec accounts holding an Account, Mint, or Multisig must contain enough RENEC to be considered rent exempt

Closing accounts#

An account may be closed using the CloseAccount instruction. When closing an Account, all remaining RENEC will be transferred to another Renec account (doesn't have to be associated with the Token Program). Non-native Accounts must have a balance of zero to be closed.

Non-Fungible tokens#

An NFT is simply a token type where only a single token has been minted.

Wallet Integration Guide#

This section describes how to integrate RPL Token support into an existing wallet supporting native RENEC. It assumes a model whereby the user has a single system account as their main wallet address that they send and receive RENEC from.

Although all RPL Token accounts do have their own address on-chain, there's no need to surface these additional addresses to the user.

There are two programs that are used by the wallet:

  • RPL Token program: generic program that is used by all RPL Tokens
  • RPL Associated Token Account program: defines the convention and provides the mechanism for mapping the user's wallet address to the associated token accounts they hold.

How to fetch and display token holdings#

The getTokenAccountsByOwner JSON RPC method can be used to fetch all token accounts for a wallet address.

For each token mint, the wallet could have multiple token accounts: the associated token account and/or other ancillary token accounts

By convention it is suggested that wallets roll up the balances from all token accounts of the same token mint into a single balance for the user to shield the user from this complexity.

See the Garbage Collecting Ancillary Token Accounts section for suggestions on how the wallet should clean up ancillary token accounts on the user's behalf.

Associated Token Account#

Before the user can receive tokens, their associated token account must be created on-chain, requiring a small amount of RENEC to mark the account as rent-exempt.

There's no restriction on who can create a user's associated token account. It could either be created by the wallet on behalf of the user or funded by a 3rd party through an airdrop campaign.

The creation process is described here.

It's highly recommended that the wallet create the associated token account for a given RPL Token itself before indicating to the user that they are able to receive that RPL Tokens type (typically done by showing the user their receiving address). A wallet that chooses to not perform this step may limit its user's ability to receive RPL Tokens from other wallets.

Sample "Add Token" workflow#

The user should first fund their associated token account when they want to receive RPL Tokens of a certain type to:

  1. Maximize interoperability with other wallet implementations
  2. Avoid pushing the cost of creating their associated token account on the first sender

The wallet should provide a UI that allow the users to "add a token". The user selects the kind of token, and is presented with information about how much RENEC it will cost to add the token.

Upon confirmation, the wallet creates the associated token type as the described here.

Sample "Airdrop campaign" workflow#

For each recipient wallet addresses, send a transaction containing:

  1. Create the associated token account on the recipient's behalf.
  2. Use TokenInstruction::Transfer to complete the transfer

Associated Token Account Ownership#

⚠️ The wallet should never use TokenInstruction::SetAuthority to set the AccountOwner authority of the associated token account to another address.

Ancillary Token Accounts#

At any time ownership of an existing RPL Token account may be assigned to the user. One way to accomplish this is with the rpl-token authorize <TOKEN_ADDRESS> owner <USER_ADDRESS> command. Wallets should be prepared to gracefully manage token accounts that they themselves did not create for the user.

Transferring Tokens Between Wallets#

The preferred method of transferring tokens between wallets is to transfer into associated token account of the recipient.

The recipient must provide their main wallet address to the sender. The sender then:

  1. Derives the associated token account for the recipient
  2. Fetches the recipient's associated token account over RPC and checks that it exists
  3. If the recipient's associated token account does not yet exist, the sender wallet should create the recipient's associated token account as described here. The sender's wallet may choose to inform the user that as a result of account creation the transfer will require more RENEC than normal. However a wallet that chooses to not support creating the recipient's associated token account at this time should present a message to the user with enough information to permit them to find a workaround (such as transferring the token through a fully compliant intermediary wallet such as https://sollet.io) to allow the users to accomplish their goal
  4. Use TokenInstruction::Transfer to complete the transfer

The sender's wallet must not require that the recipient's main wallet address hold a balance before allowing the transfer.

Registry for token details#

At the moment there exist two solutions for Token Mint registries:

A decentralized solution is in progress.

Garbage Collecting Ancillary Token Accounts#

Wallets should empty ancillary token accounts as quickly as practical by transferring into the user's associated token account. This effort serves two purposes:

  • If the user is the close authority for the ancillary account, the wallet can reclaim RENEC for the user by closing the account.
  • If the ancillary account was funded by a 3rd party, once the account is emptied that 3rd party may close the account and reclaim the RENEC.

One natural time to garbage collect ancillary token accounts is when the user next sends tokens. The additional instructions to do so can be added to the existing transaction, and will not require an additional fee.

Cleanup Pseudo Steps:

  1. For all non-empty ancillary token accounts, add a TokenInstruction::Transfer instruction to the transfer the full token amount to the user's associated token account.
  2. For all empty ancillary token accounts where the user is the close authority, add a TokenInstruction::CloseAccount instruction

If adding one or more of clean up instructions cause the transaction to exceed the maximum allowed transaction size, remove those extra clean up instructions. They can be cleaned up during the next send operation.

The rpl-token gc command provides an example implementation of this cleanup process.

Token Vesting Contract:#

This program allows you to lock arbitrary RPL tokens and release the locked tokens with a determined unlock schedule. An unlock schedule is made of a unix timestamp and a token amount, when initializing a vesting contract, the creator can pass an array of unlock schedule with an arbitrary size giving the creator of the contract complete control of how the tokens unlock over time.

Unlocking works by pushing a permissionless crank on the contract that moves the tokens to the pre-specified address. The recipient address of a vesting contract can be modified by the owner of the current recipient key, meaning that vesting contract locked tokens can be traded.

Register token info#

By default, your created token will display on Renec Explorer and Renec Wallet without detailed info, so you have to create a Pull Request to our repository https://github.com/remitano/rpl-token-registry, for example, add to file src/tokens/renec.tokenlist.json
