Hats Modules Registry

Overview

A Hats Module is any contract that serves as an Eligibility, Toggle and/or a Hatter module. Modules customize, automate and extend the behavior of Hats Protocol, and can also serve as adapters or integration points with other protocols and applications.

This registry is designed to make it easier for module developers to publish modules and for end users to discover and use modules. It is the primary data source for the Modules SDK, which apps — such as the Hats App — use to enable end users to deploy and interact with modules in a no-code way. Modules on the registry include metadata that is used by the SDK and apps to auto-generate UIs for module deployment and interaction.

The registry is designed to support any existing module that inherits the HatsModule contract. For full documentation on how to build new Hats Modules, click here.

Note that Hats Protocol is open and permissionless. Modules do not need to be on this registry to be used with Hats Protocol. Inclusion in this registry is only necessary for modules wanting to be including natively in apps that have chosen to use the Modules SDK, such as the Hats App.

Module Registry Schema

Each module in the registry is represented by JSON file with the a number of details and metadata properties. The JSON schema takes the following structure:

{
  "name": "<module's name (string)>",
  "details": ["<first paragraph describing the module (string)>", "<second paragraph describing the module (string)>"],
  "links": [
  {
    "label": "<link's name/description (string)>",
    "link": "<link's URL (string)>"
  }
  ],
  "parameters": [
  {
    "label": "<parameter's name/description (string)>",
    "functionName": "<name of the function that will be used to retrieve the parameter from the module instance, should have no inputs and only one output (string)>",
    "displayType": "<parameter's type of content, for display purpose (string)>"
  },
  ]
  "type": {
    "eligibility": "<whether the module is an eligiblity module (boolean)>",

          }
        ]
     }
  ]
  "abi": "<module's contract ABI>"
}

Note that arrays in the object above contain one example entry.

The exact schema is declared using the ZOD library, which is also used for performing validation on each module in the registry. The source of truth for the full schema — specified in ZOD — can be found here.

Schema Notes

details

An array of strings representing paragraphs that describe the module to end users.

links

Relevant links about this module go here. There should be at least one link to the module's source code — make sure the link is to the specific version of the module that is deployed to the registry, and to the correct branch in its repository. Other links can be added as well, such as to the module's documentation, or to other applications relevant to the module.

parameters

An array of parameters that represent the module's criteria and/or determine the behavior of its instances. Each parameter represents the function that can be called to dynamically fetch data from a module instance and display it to end users. Module creators can choose which parameters are relevant for display by including them in this array.

  • label - The name of each parameter.
  • functionName - The name of the view or pure function that gets the parameter value. The function should have no arguments and a single return value (an array is considered a single return value).
  • displayType - A free-text field that tells front ends how to generate a proper UI component for the parameter. For example, displaying a date for a parameter representing a timestamp.

Applications can define their own set of supported display types. The following are the display types known to be currently supported by applications:

Display Type Description
default The basic solidity data type of the value
timestamp A value which represents a Unix timestamp.
hat A uint256 value which represents a hat ID.
token The address of a token contract.
seconds A value which represents time denominated in seconds.
amountWithDecimals A value which represents a token amount, accounting for decimals.

type

Flags for the type of module. At least one flag must be set to true. A module can serve as multiple types.

tags

Module creators can use this property to tag modules with any useful information. Each tag is an object, containing the tag's label, description and value. One example for how these are being used, is allowing consumers of the registry to filter modules based on their tags.

deployments

For each chain provided, an implementation contract of the module must be deployed to the address matching the provided implementationAddress property.

creationArgs

The arguments that are passed to the module factory's creation function. The arguments are divided into two arrays: immutable and mutable. The immutable array contains arguments that are set once when the module instance is created and cannot be changed. The mutable array contains arguments that can be changed after the module instance is created.

  • useHatId - By default, new instances should be created with the hatId value set to the target hat's ID. A false value here indicates that the module's hatId value should be set to zero.
  • In both the immutable and mutable array properties, the order of the arguments must match the order expected by the contract.
  • The example values will be used in automated tests to ensure that a new instance of the module can be correctly deployed. These values do not necessarily need to be realistic, but they must enable the module to be deployed successfully by tests.

customRoles

The module's custom roles. Each module role is associated with a hat and grants permissions to the hat's wearer(s) to call certain functions on the module contract.

There are two special roles with a reserved ID that are automatically added to each module:

  1. public role, associated with functions that are permitted to any caller
  2. hatAdmins role, associated with functions that are permitted to the target hat's admins

Each custom, non-reserved role must be in with the following properties:

  • id - The role's ID, as a camel-case formatted string.
  • name - The role's name, for display purpose.
  • criteria - The name of the contract function which can be used to retrieve the role's hat.
  • hatAdminsFallback - Optional. true indicates that the role is granted to the target hat's admin(s) if when the role's criteria function returns zero.

writeFunctions

The module's write functions. Each write function is associated with a role and grants permissions to the role's wearer(s) to call the function on the module contract.

  • roles - IDs of the roles that have the authority to call the function.
  • functionName - The name of the function in the contract.
  • label - The name to be displayed to end users.
  • description - A description of the function to be displayed to end users.
  • primary - Optional. true indicates that this function is the primary function of the roles it is associated with. Front ends can use this information to display the function more prominently for each role.
  • args - The arguments of the function, similar to the module creation arguments.

Module Curation Rubric

Curators should evaluate submissions to this registry according to the following criteria. Only modules that meet all criteria should be approved for the registry. Any module on the registry that no longer meets these criteria—eg due to a dependency change that breaks the module's functionality—is a candidate for removal.

Version 0.1

Category Judgement Type Criterion
Safety Objective The module works as described; no bugs
Is not malicious
Schema Adherence Objective Metadata is complete
Implementation contract is deployed to at least one chain
Quality Objective Automated tests pass
Metadata (including name, descriptions, other documentation) is accurate
User-Friendliness Subjective Metadata is legible and affords clarity to end users

Curation Cadence

Version 0.1

Curators must review modules within the following cadence:

Standard Cadence

  • Monthly
  • All newly approved modules and changes to registered modules are to be announced at the end of each month
  • To be included in a given month, new submissions or changes must be submitted no later than one week before the end of the month
  • Within this constraint, Curators may review asynchronously or devise their own process and timing

Expedited Cadence

  • On an ad hoc basis, module developers may request review outside of the standard cadence. The most common method for such a request is to include it in the submission pull request.
  • It is up to Curator discretion for when and how quickly they honor requests for expedited review.

How To Add A New Module

Step 1 - Add your module's JSON file to the modules directory.

Following the example JSON and existing modules, fill out the relevant details and metadata for your module and add the file to the modules directory. The name of the file should be the module's name in camelCase, with the .json extension.

Keep in mind that much of the metadata will be seen by end users in apps that use the registry, so make sure to be clear and concise.

Step 2 - Test

Install dependencies:

yarn install

Then run:

yarn test

Step 3 - Format

Run:

yarn format-all
