Conforming Guardian’s Sustainability Assets to an Enhanced HIP412 Standard

[mattsmithies]

Description:

This PR adds a new draft HIP titled "Conforming Guardian’s Sustainability Assets to an Enhanced HIP412 Standard". This new HIP was created by Sustainability/Guardian Working Group in collaboration with the community over a period of 6 months. It enables guardian standard compliant systems a method to map verified sustainability data from trustchains into a NFT (HIP412) form suitable to be consumed from any external service, such as marketplaces and wallets.

Checklist

• Documented (Code comments, README, etc.)
• Tested (unit, integration, etc.)

you should not edit the template instead create a new file

HIP412 specifies a unix timestamp in seconds. We might need to specify that validators should consider nano seconds too for timestamp.

[mattsmithies]

This should switch to string in this case.

[justynspooner]

The default display type in HIP412 is text. We can help explorers by adding the way we would like this represented.

Suggested change

	"trait_type": "timestamp",
	"value": "1710271999.591571003"
	"trait_type": "timestamp",
	"display_type": "datetime",
	"value": "1710271999.591571003"

[mattsmithies]

Agreed, is there a way for a attribute to be non-indexable as filtering on timestamps is nonsense

[justynspooner]

HIP 412 doesn't support arrays so we'll need to raise this as a new value type that can be used.

[justynspooner]

Existing explorers would need to make changes to their filtering features to support arrays here.

The alternative is to list them all at the root level which would allow them to act as filters without any change to existing NFT markets.

{
    "trait_type": "co-benefits-air",
    "display_type": "boolean",
    "value": true
},
{
    "trait_type": "co-benefits-water",
    "display_type": "boolean",
    "value": true
},

I do prefer the array solution originally proposed, just be aware that it can't be used as a filter out of the gate until markets update to support it.

[mattsmithies]

I like this.

Sorry sir, will resolve.

[mattsmithies]

Updated the current HIP with changes from @justynspooner, @fessmm, and @Neurone there will likely be more changes moving forward, but if anyone wants to add any additional thoughts around this, that would be great!

Hello all,

I wanted to take a moment to express my appreciation for the collective effort put onto this PR. Your insights are paving the way to both a more vigorous discussion and a more refined end product.

I also wanted to encourage a revisit to the 9 unresolved discussions on this PR. Your inputs could provide significant value in shaping the final product and push us over the finish line faster. Let's aim to converge our discussions so we can move this forward.

Thanks once again for your time and contributions, they truly make the difference.

Best Regards.

Hi @mgarbs, thanks for bringing the attention back here.
@mattsmithies @justynspooner I'm happy to restart and complete the conversation on this HIP. I'm going to add this to the agenda for tomorrow's Guardian community call.

[mattsmithies]

From my perspective the primary outlying work is related to a requirement from @CyndyMo, to describe all of the market related fields that can be selected within the specification for the attributes.

The specific values for related fields that need to be filled out are below, I am hesitant to push this HIP until these fields have been defined as otherwise anyone would be able to insert whatever field they so wish, and this would reduce filtering and searchability in downstream marketplaces.

• asset_type: Types such as CRU, REC, etc.
• method: Methods like Avoidance, Reduction, etc.
• sector: Sectors such as Renewable Energy, Agriculture, etc.
