NFT Wrapper

This aims to define the standard with which my untitled video game project will wrap any NFT to be able to work within the loose confines of a virtual world.

Current ERC721 standards lend well to the distribution of digital artifacts, but are limited in their use in a virtual world without a set of common distinguishing features.

This standard will allow anyone with minor solidity knowledge to bridge any NFT in to the virtual world and give it utility and/or function.

I will support a few popular NFTs (hopefully eventually community voted) that will have special items associated with them in game. Otherwise, anyone can create a wrapper for an NFT and bridge it over to the virtual world.

Every token will be defined by a form (how it shows up) and function (what it does).

Forms:

• Visual
  • Static (SVG/IPFS or Arweave)
  • Dynamic (Video/other?)
• Auditory
• Material (a 3D form, using the Voxelizer or a predefined set of objects)

Functions:

• Decor
• Wear
• Attack
• Defend

Mapping Forms and Functions to the virtual world

• Visual Decor
  • Shown around the users personal room
  • Shown on clothing on avatar
  • Placed as "stickers" on objects around world
    • Can assign metadata to stickers?
• Auditory Decor
  • Background music for user
  • Environmental sound in personal room
• Material Decor
  • Placed around the users personal room
  • Carryable in the users inventory

Game Ideas:

• Let users define simple voxel shapes to show (see Voxelizer.sol)
