Hey @dimazw , a non-fungible token in its core is just a non-fungible token. A token index is needed to have them distinguished from each other. Token URIs are not necessarily useful and can be limiting people's mind on what is possible with a NFT.

Does anyone know how to initiate an EIP?

Thinking of creating an EIP-720.

so if an NFT does not have index and URI, what does it have and do?

Jun 21, 2021, 3:14 AM

It's simply an atomic existence.

Complexity can be built upon it as another layer.

Rather than a URI in the format of a link or a JSON.

@dimazw The motivation is everytime I say I'm building something cool using NFTs, they would natually think it's some sort of crypto-collectibles.

I'm tired of explaining to them what I'm doing. Creating a new standard might be the best way to create a new piece of memory for this new breed of animials.

basically standards like erc721 or erc20 help with compatibility. if you think you don't need them, you can just code from scratch without abiding any existing standards.

Sorry but how do you uniquely identify something without an identifier? Without a URI, what's the difference of an NFT from standard token...

Jun 21, 2021, 6:16 AM

Token index is the identifier. Token URI is not.

So what do you have in mind?

Jun 21, 2021, 8:42 AM

So instead of making it unique across the blockchain, you are making it unique per contract right?
