Tommy Nicholas ff265b86df Token metadata json schema (#1047)
* Add initial EIP skeleton

* Initial take through "Rationale"

* First very rough draft of ERC20 Metadata Extension

Nearly ready for comments by Matt, Matt, and John

* Initial "Token Metadata Standard" Proposal + small change to ERC721

- Added initial “Token Metadata JSON Schema”
- Re-named “ERC721 Metadata JSON Schema” to “Token Metadata JSON
Schema” in the ERC721 EIP

* ERC20 Metadata Extension ready to read

* Update Title of ERC Metadata Extension

* Fixing Matt's Github handle

Apparently Github handles for authors are meant to be “accurate” - who
knew?

* update grammatical errors; properly format JSON to remove excess commas

* update JSON descriptions & make grammatical changes to EIP

* Changed language in Token Metadata JSON Schema to reflect use by tokens which are not NFT's. Added clarification for backwards compatibility

* update authors and contact email

* Author Fix

* Removing ERC20 Metadata Extension

This branch is going to be just the Token Metadata Standard

* Removing change to 721 and renaming to 1047

* Full ERC721 revert

No changes to ERC721 in this PR

EIPs Gitter

Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs) describe standards for the Ethereum platform, including core protocol specifications, client APIs, and contract standards.

A browsable version of all current and draft EIPs can be found on the official EIP site.

Contributing

  1. Review EIP-1.
  2. Fork the repository by clicking "Fork" in the top right.
  3. Add your EIP to your fork of the repository. There is a template EIP here.
  4. Submit a Pull Request to Ethereum's EIPs repository.

Your first PR should be a first draft of the final EIP. It must meet the formatting criteria enforced by the build (largely, correct metadata in the header). An editor will manually review the first PR for a new EIP and assign it a number before merging it. Make sure you include a discussions-to header with the URL to a discussion forum or open GitHub issue where people can discuss the EIP as a whole.

If your EIP requires images, the image files should be included in a subdirectory of the assets folder for that EIP as follow: assets/eip-X (for eip X). When linking to an image in the EIP, use relative links such as ../assets/eip-X/image.png.

Once your first PR is merged, we have a bot that helps out by automatically merging PRs to draft EIPs. For this to work, it has to be able to tell that you own the draft being edited. Make sure that the 'author' line of your EIP contains either your Github username or your email address inside . If you use your email address, that address must be the one publicly shown on your GitHub profile.

When you believe your EIP is mature and ready to progress past the draft phase, you should do one of two things:

  • For a Standards Track EIP of type Core, ask to have your issue added to the agenda of an upcoming All Core Devs meeting, where it can be discussed for inclusion in a future hard fork. If implementers agree to include it, the EIP editors will update the state of your EIP to 'Accepted'.
  • For all other EIPs, open a PR changing the state of your EIP to 'Final'. An editor will review your draft and ask if anyone objects to its being finalised. If the editor decides there is no rough consensus - for instance, because contributors point out significant issues with the EIP - they may close the PR and request that you fix the issues in the draft before trying again.

EIP status terms

  • Draft - an EIP that is open for consideration
  • Accepted - an EIP that is planned for immediate adoption, i.e. expected to be included in the next hard fork (for Core/Consensus layer EIPs).
  • Final - an EIP that has been adopted in a previous hard fork (for Core/Consensus layer EIPs).
  • Deferred - an EIP that is not being considered for immediate adoption. May be reconsidered in the future for a subsequent hard fork.
