GUARDABLE

Guardable is a contract module which provides added security functionality, where an account can assign a guardian to protect their NFTs. While a guardian is assigned, setApprovalForAll is locked. New approvals cannot be set. There can only ever be one guardian per account, and setting a new guardian will overwrite any existing one.

Existing approvals can still be leveraged as normal, and it is expected that this functionality be used after a user has set the approvals they want to set. Approvals can still be removed while a guardian is set.

Setting a guardian has no effect on transfers, so users can move assets to a new wallet to effectively "clear" guardians if a guardian is maliciously set, or keys to a guardian are lost.

It is not recommended to use _lockToSelf, as removing this lock would be easily added to a malicious workflow, whereas removing a traditional lock from a guardian account would be sufficiently prohibitive.

This repository provides sample implementations for ERC1155/ERC721, which inherit the base OpenZeppelin variants accordingly. It was designed to be used for setApprovalForAll and approve, but feel free to create your own implementation, and use guardable wherever is needed.
