CR-CAT Creation Tutorial

Intro

Credential Restricted Chia Asset Tokens (CR-CATs) are CATs whose ownership is restricted to people or other entities who possess a required set of Verifiable Credentials (VCs). This guide will show you how to mint CR-CATs, as well as how to distribute them accordingly. This guide will show you how to mint CR-CATs, as well as how to distribute them accordingly.

For additional resources, see the following:

• CHIP-19 -- Restricted CAT Standard
• CAT admin -- CLI documentation for the CAT admin tool
• VC guide -- VCs are required in order to use CR-CATs
• CAT standard -- Good to read if you are unfamiliar with Chia Asset Tokens

注意

The commands in this guide are only examples. The commands in this guide are only examples. Be sure to replace the listed values with values from your local system.

This guide was creating using testnet11. This guide was creating using testnet10. The example commands use a fee of 100 million mojos, which will be rather high for mainnet usage. If running on mainnet, be sure to adjust your fees accordingly. If running on mainnet, be sure to adjust your fees accordingly.

Definitions

• Decentralized Identifier (DID) -- An identifier that enables verifiable, decentralized digital identity
• Verifiable Credential (VC) -- Allows someone or something to prove that a subject belongs to a certain category or categories, such as being a US citizen. One type of VC is issued by a Know Your Customer (KYC) provider, who must perform this verification. One type of VC is issued by a Know Your Customer (KYC) provider, who must perform this verification.
• Chia Asset Tokens (CATs) -- Fungible tokens on the Chia blockchain

Setup

先决条件

In order to mint CR-CATs, you will need to have:

• A synced Chia wallet, running version 2.0 or later (a full node is not required)
• At least one DID to be used as a trusted provider
• A sufficient amount of XCH or TXCH for the minting. As a reminder, each CAT consists of 1000 mojos. A sufficient amount of XCH or TXCH for the minting. As a reminder, each CAT consists of 1000 mojos. If you want to mint 1 billion CATs, you will need 1 trillion mojos (1 XCH) for the minting.
• Sufficient funds to cover blockchain fees, the amount of which depends on how busy the blockchain is at any moment

We have faucets available if you don't have sufficient funds to get started:

• testnet
• mainnet

important

It is possible to brick* funds by sending them to an address without the appropriate credentials, as will be demonstrated later in this guide. You are therefore recommended to test minting CR-CATs on the testnet or on a simulator prior to minting them on mainnet. You are recommended to test minting VCs on the testnet prior to minting them on mainnet. If you are unsure of how to configure your wallet to use the testnet, see our guide.

* Technically, the funds will remain recoverable, but this process will not be easy.

DID and VC Setup

CR-CATs require at least one authorized provider that can issue VCs that are allowed to trade the CATs. This tutorial will use a DID as the authorized provider. This tutorial will use a DID as the authorized provider.

信息

DIDs are currently the only type of authorized provider, though others might be added in the future.

Please see our Verifiable Credentials Guide for help on setting up a DID, as well as a VC with appropriate proofs.

For this tutorial, we will use the same proof structure that was used in the Verifiable Credentials Guide, so if you have followed it, you will be mostly ready to follow this tutorial as well.

We will use three separate Chia wallets, which have been created beforehand using the Verifiable Credentials Guide:

Authorized Provider Wallet

• Owns one DID -- did:chia:1w4gf5eyensd37xa0x7aj27fe4cr9tqmf46m272suve5n4q2draesd0t54c
• Used this DID to mint a VC with launcher ID 9b6c65bd82ebe139ad5785ffdf99f6fe8ccbedb62a7ba2560989ef4e8a00ec86
  • Added two proofs: test_proof1 and test_proof2
  • "Transferred" this VC to the same wallet
• Minted another VC with the same proofs and transferred it to the VC Holder Wallet (see next section)
• This wallet will issue the CR-CATs and send some of them to the VC Holder

The CLI view of the Authorized Provider's wallet is as follows:

CAT Admin Tool

CR-CATS are issued from the CAT-admin-tool repository. Follow the instructions below to install it for your specific OS: Follow the instructions below to install it for your specific OS:

Linux/macOS

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/Chia-Network/CAT-admin-tool.git -b main --recurse-submodules

Change to the CAT-admin-tool directory:

cd CAT-admin-tool

Create a virtual environment:

python3 -m venv venv

Activate the virtual environment:

. ./venv/bin/activate

Install all prerequisites:

python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel

Install the CAT admin tool:

pip install .

Windows

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/Chia-Network/CAT-admin-tool.git -b main --recurse-submodules

Change to the CAT-admin-tool directory:

cd CAT-admin-tool

Create a virtual environment:

python -m venv venv

Activate the virtual environment:

.\venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1

Install all prerequisites:

python -m pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel

Install the CAT admin tool:

pip install .

Your environment should be all set, but let's make sure:

• Run cats --help. You should get a usage statement.

• Run cdv --help. You should get another usage statement.

The CAT admin tool also comes bundled with a version of Chia. If your wallet is not currently running, be sure to start it now: If your wallet is not currently running, be sure to start it now:

chia start wallet

Note that while a full node is not required, it is recommended, as it will make the the process of minting CR-CATs faster and more efficient.

chia start node

If you are running a full node, verify that it is synced by running this command:

chia show -s

For a comprehensive list of all options available with the CAT admin tool, as well as examples of how to use them, see the CLI reference.

Automatic CATs

Before continuing, it is a good idea to verify that new CATs will automatically be added to your wallet. The setting for this is located in ~/.chia/mainnet/config/config.yaml. (Note that this file is in a mainnet folder regardless of whether you are running on a testnet or mainnet.) The setting for this is located in ~/.chia/mainnet/config/config.yaml. (Note that this file is in a mainnet folder regardless of whether you are running on a testnet or mainnet.)

Edit this file and search for automatically_add_unknown_cats. You are recommended to set this option's value to true. Edit this file and search for automatically_add_unknown_cats. You are recommended to set this option's value to true. Be sure to restart your wallet if you modify this option, so your new CR-CATs will automatically be added to your wallet.

If you prefer not to use this option, you can also manually add new CATs with the add_token command.

Setup summary

At this point, in order to follow this tutorial you should have:

• An instance of the cat-admin-tool repository installed locally
  • Verifiable by running cats --help and cdv --help (you should see a usage statement)
• An Authorized Provider's wallet, which holds:
  • A DID
  • A VC
  • Some XCH or TXCH
• A VC Holder's wallet, which holds:
  • A VC
  • Some XCH or TXCH
• (If you want to test a failure case) A wallet that only holds some XCH or TXCH
• (recommended) A synced full node
• (recommended) Set automatically_add_unknown_cats: true in config.yaml

With all of these setup steps complete, you are ready to mint CR-CATs!

Mint CR-CATs

The process for minting Restricted CATs is nearly identical to the process for minting standard CATs. In both cases, any TAIL may be used. This tutorial will only demonstrate how to use a single-issuance TAIL. If you are interested in using other TAILs, or if you would like a more comprehensive list of instructions, see the CAT creation tutorial.

For starters, you will need to obtain an address to send the CR-CATs to after they have been minted. From the Authorized Provider's wallet run the following command: From the Authorized Provider's wallet run the following command:

chia wallet get_address --new-address

The response will be an address, for example:

txch1yx4tdtqksjh7mk84deglwyq4j8td8jchyc8sdgem2hnuulmhzdhqct9wpr

Next, obtain the Authorized Provider's DID ID by showing the wallet:

In this example, we will create one thousand CR-CATs. In this example, we will create one thousand CR-CATs. Each CR-CAT will consist of 1000 mojos (same as standard CATs), so this example will require one million mojos, plus a transaction fee, for the issuance.

When minting CR-CATs, you have two options for applying restrictions:

• -r/--proofs-checker -- Use this option to supply a custom program for checking proofs (not yet supported in the reference wallet).
• -v/--cr-flag -- Use this option to specify which proof(s) a VC must have in order to approve a transaction from this CR-CAT.

For this example, we will use the -v option.

We also need to add the -sc flag to select a valid coin to spend. Here is a summary of the options that will be used in this example: Here is a summary of the options that will be used in this example:

• -l -- the TAIL to use
• -t -- the address to send the CR-CATs to upon being minted
• -a -- the amount, in mojos, to use for the minting
• -m -- an optional blockchain fee, in mojos
• -d -- the authorized provider (DID) for issuing VCs for these CR-CATs
• -v -- the string required in a VC proof for trading these CR-CATs
• -sc -- return a valid coin to spend for the minting

And here is the example command:

cats -l ./reference_tails/genesis_by_coin_id.clsp.hex -t txch1yx4tdtqksjh7mk84deglwyq4j8td8jchyc8sdgem2hnuulmhzdhqct9wpr -a 1000000 -m 100000000 -d did:chia:1w4gf5eyensd37xa0x7aj27fe4cr9tqmf46m272suve5n4q2draesd0t54c -v "test_proof1" -sc

The response will list the details of a coin from your wallet. For example: For example:

{
    "amount": 999499999997,
    "parent_coin_info": "0xd0e21a74601b8bafb6e1c90c61ff74bad40820e3003d25230fc127ce3efc5a48",
    "puzzle_hash": "0x29b1afc3a6caa21a4aaba3a928df4dbbc3e3b9b2b15f89529311ae12d6cec82b"
}
Name: 1d9cb45618bdd9d70a0959ab8d91cafcbc1acbf7bd31a9e5286fd30622796783

The value of Name: will be used next. The value of Name: will be used next. If you received an error containing Can't spend more than wallet balance:, then you do not have sufficient funds to cover the amount specified in the -a and -m options.

Next, run the same command again, but replace -sc with -c 0x<coin name>, or -c 0x1d9cb45618bdd9d70a0959ab8d91cafcbc1acbf7bd31a9e5286fd30622796783 in this example.

When minting CR-CATs with the commands from this tutorial, you must prepend 0x to the coin ID in the following command. If you fail to do this, the command will appear to succeed, but it will actually fail. The reasons for not showing an error are twofold: If you fail to do this, the command will appear to succeed, but it will actually fail. The reasons for not showing an error are twofold:

1. You are technically allowed to curry anything with this command's underlying CLVM puzzle, so omitting the 0x is valid syntax, even though it won't work in this case.
2. The wallet client asynchronously sends the command to the node, so the wallet client does not know when the command fails.

For example, this command will mint the CR-CATs using the -c option:

cats -l ./reference_tails/genesis_by_coin_id.clsp.hex -t txch1yx4tdtqksjh7mk84deglwyq4j8td8jchyc8sdgem2hnuulmhzdhqct9wpr -a 1000000 -m 100000000 -d did:chia:1w4gf5eyensd37xa0x7aj27fe4cr9tqmf46m272suve5n4q2draesd0t54c -v "test_proof1" -c 0x1d9cb45618bdd9d70a0959ab8d91cafcbc1acbf7bd31a9e5286fd30622796783

As a result, a new spend bundle will be created for the minting. You will be prompted whether to submit it to the network: You will be prompted whether to submit it to the network:

The transaction has been created, would you like to push it to the network? (Y/N)

Respond with Y and you should be shown the Asset ID and Eve Coin ID for this CR-CAT. For example: For example:

Successfully pushed the transaction to the network
Asset ID: 3ba9e16dca39f3fb3b75e51535487fcd114abeeb0cf30e8975b9567ce5516fb5
Eve Coin ID: 7afe650fd4dd663d0be027c07228d02546fcc7b91b7819d18d5e1d4055292bf1

After the transaction has been confirmed on blockchain (typically within 1-3 minutes), you can view the new CAT with the chia wallet show command:

   -Wallet ID:                          5
...

Note that Balance Pending VC Approval is currently 0.0. This is because the CR-CATs have been minted to the wallet that contains the issuing DID. Thus, they do not require approval. When these funds are transferred, they will show up as "Pending" in the new wallet.

This information is also viewable in the GUI:

The Authorized Provider now has control of all 1000 of the issued CR-CATs. This type of CAT is distinguished in the GUI by a padlock icon and Restricted CAT. The Authorized Provider now has control of all 1000 of the issued CR-CATs. This type of CAT is distinguished in the GUI by a padlock icon and Restricted CAT. The Authorized Provider also possesses a VC with the required proof (test_proof1), so a green icon appears when viewing the CAT.

Send CR-CATs

Now that you have minted the CR-CATs, you can send them elsewhere. Now that you have minted the CR-CATs, you can send them elsewhere. First, we'll send some to the VC Holder's wallet, which already has a VC that contains the required proof.

Sending from the GUI

You can send CR-CATs just as you would with regular CATs:

You should see a "success" message:

In this example, the recipient is the VC Holder's wallet. This wallet holds the credential with the required proof (test_proof1) for holding this CR-CAT. Because the proof exists, a green APPROVE button will appear.

From the VC Holder's wallet, click this button to finalize the transaction:

An on-chain transaction is required for the approval to be processed. An on-chain transaction is required for the approval to be processed. This is necessary to guard against unauthorized wallets holding CR-CATs, as will be demonstrated later in this tutorial. Enter a transaction fee and click APPROVE PENDING TRANSACTIONS: Enter a transaction fee and click APPROVE PENDING TRANSACTIONS:

After the transaction has been processed, the CR-CATs will become available to the VC Holder, who can now send or trade them just like normal CATs.

Sending from the CLI

As a reminder, in the Authorized Provider's wallet, the Wallet ID of the CR-CAT is 5:

• -i -- The Wallet ID of the CR-CAT
• -a -- The number of CR-CATs to send
• -m -- An optional transaction free, in XCH/TXCH
• -t -- The address to send the CR-CATs to (the VC Holder's wallet address)

The VC Holder still needs to approve the new CR-CATs in order to add them to the wallet balance. This is accomplished with the approve_r_cats command. In this example, we will use the following flags: This is accomplished with the approve_r_cats command. In this example, we will use the following flags:

• -i -- The Wallet ID of the CR-CAT
• -a -- The amount to approve
• -m -- An optional transaction free, in XCH/TXCH

chia wallet vcs approve_r_cats -i 3 -a 100 -m 0.0001

Response:

Offer CR-CATs

CR-CATs also work with Chia Offers, using either the GUI or the CLI.

GUI Offers

In this example, as the Authorized Provider, click CREATE AN OFFER from the Offers panel:

Next, fill out the Offer Builder. Next, fill out the Offer Builder. For this example, we will offer to trade 99 CR-CATs for 0.1 TXCH:

After creating the Offer, Authorized Provider can save it as a local file or post it to a marketplace.

For this example, we will change to the VC Holder wallet and load the Offer file. This wallet contains a VC with the required proof to hold this CR-CAT (test_proof1). Enter an optional blockchain fee and click ACCEPT OFFER: In this example, the recipient is the VC Holder's wallet. This wallet holds the credential with the required proof (test_proof1) for holding this CR-CAT. Because the proof exists, a green APPROVE button will appear. Enter an optional blockchain fee and click ACCEPT OFFER:

While the on-chain transaction to accept the Offer is pending, the 99 CR-CATs will be displayed in the VC Holder's Pending Balance. Note that the Pending Balance for Approval is 0 in this case: Note that the Pending Balance for Approval is 0 in this case:

After the transaction has been confirmed, the balance is updated. After the transaction has been confirmed, the balance is updated. When receiving CR-CATs via an Offer, there is no need to perform another transaction to approve of the incoming tokens. This is because the proof requirement is already baked into the Offer file. This is because the proof requirement is already baked into the Offer file.

At this point, the VC Holder wallet has full possession of the CR-CATs.

CLI Offers

Offers for CR-CATs can also be created and accepted via the CLI. Offers for CR-CATs can also be created and accepted via the CLI. For this example, the Authorized Provider will create an Offer using the following flags:

• -o -- The Offer amount, using the syntax <Wallet ID of asset to offer>:<amount to offer>
• -r -- The requested amount, using the syntax <Wallet ID of asset to request>:<amount to request
• -p -- The path to the file name in which to save the Offer

chia wallet make_offer -o 5:33 -r 1:0.01 -p ~/Downloads/33_CR-CATs_for_0.01_TXCH.offer

   -Wallet ID:                          3

The VC Holder can examine the Offer by using the take_offer command with the -e (examine) flag:

chia wallet take_offer -e ~/Downloads/33_CR-CATs_for_0.01_TXCH.offer

Response:

Summary:
  OFFERED:
    - CAT 3ba9e16dca39f3fb... (Wallet ID: 3): 33.0 (33000 mojos)
  REQUESTED:
    - TXCH (Wallet ID: 1): 0.01 (10000000000 mojos)

Included Fees: 0 TXCH, 0 mojos

The Offer looks good, so the VC Holder takes it by removing the -e flag and adding a fee with the -m flag:

chia wallet take_offer ~/Downloads/33_CR-CATs_for_0.01_TXCH.offer -m 0.0001

Response:

At this point, the VC Holder wallet has full possession of the CR-CATs.

When Proofs Are Missing

Wallets that lack the required proofs are not eligible to receive CR-CATs. Recall that an XCH Wallet was set up for this tutorial. Wallets that lack the required proofs are not eligible to receive CR-CATs. Recall that an XCH Wallet was set up for this tutorial. This wallet does not hold any VCs or proofs, so it is not allowed to hold any CR-CATs.

Sending CR-CATs

Let's say the Authorized Provider obtains the XCH Wallet's address and sends 50 CR-CATs to it:

Even though the recipient is not allowed to hold these CR-CATs, the transaction itself is valid. Even though the recipient is not allowed to hold these CR-CATs, the transaction itself is valid. However, just as in the examples at the beginning of this tutorial, the XCH Wallet will receive the CR-CATs in the Pending Balance for Approval section of the GUI. In this case, the required proof (in the red circle below) is not present. In this case, the required proof (in the red circle below) is not present.

The XCH Wallet can still attempt to approve these CR-CATs:

However, this attempt will fail because the required proofs are missing:

The status of these CR-CATs is as follows:

• They are pending approval in the XCH Wallet
• The XCH Wallet is not allowed to approve them
• The XCH Wallet is not allowed to send them elsewhere
• The Authorized Provider's wallet no longer holds them

Note that even though nothing can be done with the funds in this state, they are still not bricked. The XCH Wallet will gain access to the funds if it obtains a VC with the required proof. Note that even though nothing can be done with the funds in this state, they are still not bricked. The XCH Wallet will gain access to the funds if it obtains a VC with the required proof. However, assuming the XCH Wallet was not supposed to hold the correct VC in the first place, the Authorized Provider will presumably be reluctant to issue a VC to this wallet.

信息

For the reasons discussed above, exercise caution when sending CR-CATs to another wallet. For the reasons discussed above, exercise caution when sending CR-CATs to another wallet. In fact, because of the risk of making the funds difficult (if not impossible) to access, we recommend that you don't send CR-CATs in this way.

Instead, you should use Offers to distribute CR-CATs, as they provide two important advantages:

• If the recipient is allowed to hold the CR-CATs, they will be able to accept an Offer to receive those CATs. Once the Offer is complete, they will not need to submit an approval transaction. Once the Offer is complete, they will not need to submit an approval transaction.
• If the recipient is not allowed to hold the CR-CATs, they will not be able to accept an Offer to receive those CATs in the first place.

Offers for CR-CATs

Let's say the owner of the XCH Wallet locates a CR-CAT Offer. Let's say the owner of the XCH Wallet locates a CR-CAT Offer. Upon viewing the offer, the wallet's owner will see that the required proof is grayed out, indicating that it is not present:

Any attempts to accept this Offer without first receiving a VC with the required proofs will fail:

Thus, when using Offers, the funds cannot accidentally be sent to an unauthorized recipient.
