Jayden Windle and Benny Giang of NFT studio Future Primitive join me on this episode to discuss ERC-6551: Non-fungible Token Bound Accounts, which they co-authored.
ERC-6551 is a draft EIP that proposes a CREATE2 based proxy contract scheme to give every ERC-721 its own address on Ethereum, and other EVM chains. In short, this EIP turns every NFT into a smart contract wallet, which can hold NFTs and fungibles, have special access permissions on other contracts, and more. 6551’s flexible yet simple design allows NFTs to own NFTs that own NFTs, and so on.
In this conversation we discuss the prior art for NFT bound accounts and the specific technical choices that may make 6551 a more universally compatible and extensible option. We also consider NFT Accounts compatibility with Account Abstraction wallets like those covered by EIP-4337. Finally we discuss the social process of writing and carrying a proposal through the EIP process.
It was great sitting down with Jayden and Benny to discuss the ins-and-outs of their NFT account proposal. I hope you enjoy the show.
