There are two ways of transferring NFTs via the XP.NETWORK Bridge.
- The first option does not require coding or deploying smart contracts. The tokens can be sent from chain A to chain B using the existing infrastructure with minimal effort in a matter of minutes.
However, in this case, the wrapped assets will arrive at the default smart contracts meeting the requirements of the token standards but will have a universal collection name, e.g., "Wrapped NFTs," and will be void of any custom logic, including royalties. - To preserve a collection name or any business logic required for a game, a marketplace, a metaverse, a DeFi app, or a collection with royalties, deployment of custom smart contracts is required on the destination chain.
For a target contract to comply with the bridge expectations it MUST implement the following interfaces:
- BridgeNFT for ERC721 standard
- BridgeNFTBatch for ERC1155 standard
NB! The bridge contract must have a minter role to mint
and burn
tokens in the target contract.
The video below will walk you through the process of implementing the steps described below.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5YuChS32YE&t
git clone https://github.com/XP-NETWORK/contract-interfaces.git
cd contract-interfaces/
yarn
tsc
Remove the .example
from .env.example
and populate with relevant data
Hardcode the private key
from your elliptical curve key pair here:
# Signer's secret key
SK=
Hardcode the public key
for the account you're sending the tokens to here:
# Receiver's public key (wallet address)
PK=
Give the name and the token ticker to your contract on the chain of departure here:
# Example values:
TOKEN_TICKER=OCE
CONTRACT_NAME="Original Contract Example"
Provide the values for the constructor of the smart contract on the chain of destination here:
# Example values:
# Target Smart Contract Constants
TARGET_NAME=Target
TARGET_SYMBOL=TGT
# See Explanation below
NFT_PREFIX=https://<url-base>/w/<dec>/<chainId>/<original-contract-address>/<{id} - only for ERC1155>
- Replace the
<url-base>
with one of two options below:
- Testnet url base:
bridge-wnftapi.herokuapp.com
- Mainnet url base:
nft.xp.network
- Using
<dec>
- use
dec
when mapping ERC721 contracts since its ID is decimal - skip
dec
when mapping ERC1155 contracts since its tokens are converted to hex
- Replace
<chainId>
with the original chain ID from this document: Bridge Chain Nonces - Replace
<original-contract-address>
with the original contract address from the chain of departure - For ERC1155 add
{id}
after the trailing slash (se example below)
https://bridge-wnftapi.herokuapp.com/w/dec/7/0xc7f53ece8654f61b47b6a8f0be6d6989cae422b1/
https://nft.xp.network/w/7/0xc7f53ece8654f61b47b6a8f0be6d6989cae422b1/{id}
To deploy the SC on the chain of departure, run the following command in the terminal from the root folder of the contract-interfaces project.
npx hardhat run dist/scripts/deploy_original.js --network <your chain name>
To deploy the SC on the destination chain, run the following command in the terminal from the root folder of the contract-interfaces project.
npx hardhat run dist/scripts/deploy_target.js --network <your chain name>
Follow this order:
- Give the Bridge smart contract the MINTER role. Search the contract by the
minter_addr
key. Mind that there are testnet and mainnet objects in this file. - Verify your contract on the chain
- Renounce ownership of the contract (for security reasons)
- Provide the XP.Network team (via email: [email protected]) the addresses of your contract on the chains of origin and destination for proper mapping in the following format:
- ChainOfDepartureName: "smart contract address", e.g.,
From BSC:"0xB1F700B3372b2474cd799468DfbA383e74446db3" - ChainOfDestinationName: "smart contract address", e.g.,
To Polygon: "0x5F0024035059a9703401b97fE0e0559DF16F92bE"
- ChainOfDepartureName: "smart contract address", e.g.,
- Populate the
.env
file with the addresses of the deployed contracts according to the example:# Original & Target smart contract addresses: ORIGINAL_CONTRACT=0xB1F700B3372b2474cd799468DfbA383e74446db3 TARGET_CONTRACT=0x5F0024035059a9703401b97fE0e0559DF16F92bE
- Reset the flags from
false
totrue
in turn. Only one flag must be set totrue
at all times. - Run the command in the terminal after every change.
yarn start
After every minting, approving, and transferring cycle, increment the NFT ID here by +1 if you wish to repeat the cycle.
Verify your transactions in the chain explorers. To find the relevant transactions, query the explorers by the public keys of the sender on the chain of departure and the receiver's public key on the destination chain. Alternatively, you can check the most recent transactions of the contracts you deployed on the chain chains of origin and destination.
