Send NFTs Across Chains

Introduction

LayerZero ONFT V1FV enables cross-chain transfers of existing ERC721 tokens. For testing purposes, the ShimmerEVM Testnet is chosen as the source chain, while the BNB Testnet is chosen as the destination chain.

Community Libs

You can clone the Utilities for LayerZero ONFT V1 from IOTA Community GitHub Repository.

Why Would a User Need to Send ERC721 Tokens Across Chains?

By facilitating the movement of ERC721 tokens across chains, users gain flexibility and can optimize their NFT usage according to their specific needs, preferences, and circumstances.

Enable the Existing ERC721 Tokens for Cross-Chain Sending

To enable the existing ERC721 tokens for cross-chain sending, you will need the ProxyONFT contract on the source chain, and the ONFT contract on the destination chain) are needed.

The origin NFT token will be locked in the ProxyONFT contract so that the ONFT-wrapped tokens will be minted on the destination chain. If the NFT token already exists on the destination chain (i.e., when the ONFT-wrapped token on the destination chain is sent back to the source chain), no new token minting will happen. Instead, the NFT tokens will be transferred from the ONFT contract to the user's wallet address. Relevant code

Enable Cross-Chain Sending for Unloached ERC721 NFTs

If you are launching a new ERC721 token, you can use the ONFT standard to enable cross-chain sending without the need of ProxyONFT. As with existing tokens, the NFT will be locked on the source chain and minted or transferred on the destination chain.

Scripts

Deploy the ProxyONFT and ONFT Contracts

For ERC721

  • MyProxyONFT721.sol:

    • CTOR:
      • minGasToTransferAndStore: The minimum gas needed to transfer and store your NFT is typically 100k for ERC721. This value would vary depending on your contract complexity; it's recommended to test. If this value is set too low, the destination tx will fail, and a manual retry is needed.
      • lzEndpoint: LayerZero Endpoint on the source chain.
      • proxyToken: deployed contract address of the NFT tokens on the source chain.
  • MyONFT721.sol:

    • CTOR:
      • name: name of the ONFT-wrapped tokens on the destination chain
      • symbol: symbol of the ONFT-wrapped tokens on the destination chain
      • minGasToTransferAndStore: The minimum gas needed to transfer and store your NFT typically 100k for ERC721. This value would vary depending on your contract complexity; it's recommended to test. If this value is set too low, the destination tx will fail, and a manual retry is needed.
      • lzEndpoint: - lzEndpoint: LayerZero Endpoint on the destination chain

Set the Trusted Remote

For existing ERC721 tokens, the ProxyONFT and ONFT contract instances must be paired.

For the upcoming ERC721 tokens that want to leverage the ONFT standard, the ONFT contract instance on the source chain needs to be paired with another ONFT contract instance on the destination chain.

You can set this using the setTrustedRemote method.

Set the minGasLimit

Both the ProxyONFT and the ONFT contract instanceS need to be set for minimum gas on destination(minGasLimit).

You can set his using the setMinDstGas method.

info

It is required that minDstGas <= providedGasLimit, which is to be set via adapterParams upon cross-chain sending on the source chain.

Set the Batch Size Limit

Both the ProxyONFT and the ONFT contract instances need to set a limit for the batch size on the source chain to limit the number of tokens to be sent to another chain when using the sendBatchFrom method.

You can set this using the setDstChainIdToBatchLimit method; the default value is 1.

How To Send Tokens From a Source Chain to a Destination Chain (and Vice-Versa)

Required Contracts

From the Source Chain to the Destination Chain

For the existing ERC721 tokens, you will need the ProxyONFT contract on the source chain and the ONFT contract on the destination chain. The procedure is as follows:

  1. The sender approves his ERC721 tokens for the ProxyONFT contract.
  2. The sender calls the function estimateSendFee() of the ProxyONFT contract to estimate cross-chain fee to be paid in native on the source chain.
  3. The sender calls the function sendFrom() of the ProxyONFT contract to transfer tokens on source chain to destination chain.
  4. (Optional) Wait for the transaction finalization on the destination chain by using the @layerzerolabs/scan-client library.

From the Destination Chain Back to the Source Chain

To send back the ONFT-wrapped tokens on the destination chain to the source chain, the procedure is similar as the approve step is also required, but the operations will happen on the ONFT contract.

References and Tools

AdapterParams
  • You can use the LayerZero Repository as a reference to set gas drop on the destination in adapterParams.
  • You can use the LayerZero Repository as a refernce to set default adapterParams without needing a gas drop.

Install and Compile the Library

After you have cloned the IOTA Community Utilities for LayerZero ONFT V1 repository, you should run the following command to install:

yarn

then compile the contracts:

yarn compile

Set Your Configuration

You should copy the template .env.example file to a file called .env, and edit any of the configuration options you see fit.

cp .env.example .env
