[Reposted from FVM Forum] NFT Standards for FEVM

[trruckerfling]

[OP me, Dec 2022]

As of Jan 2022, the FVM Forum will be merging into the Filecoin Community Discussion here, as FVM and Filecoin often go hand-in-hand for builders

There have been a few asks on NFT Standards for FEVM. ERC-721 and ERC-1155 being the most popular standards deployed today with FEVM.

The short answer is that the FVM team doesn’t have one in the works, although we are supportive of devs doing so.

Some of our considerations include:

• The effort required to create one VS the network-buy in to use this specific standard.
• FEVM was created to allow EVM devs to use tooling and interfaces that they are familiar with, including existing ERC standards, which can be deployed as is to FVM

That said, we are exploring a Filecoin-native NFT standard and the Helix team is building a reference implementation for it. This will be useful for FVM native actors coming by mid year 2023, not FEVM.

As we build FVM native actors, an interesting exploration for compatibility can be around native actors additionally exporting an EVM ABI API that can be called by existing FEVM actors.

Open to ideas for discussion!
