Timeline Permissions

Timeline permissions control when timeline-based fields can be updated, such as collection metadata and token metadata.

High-Level Logic

Basic Timeline Permissions

For each timeline update request:
    Check if timeline time matches any timelineTimes criteria
        → If no match: ALLOW (neutral state)
        → If match: Check if current time is in permanentlyPermittedTimes
            → If yes: ALLOW
            → If no: Check if current time is in permanentlyForbiddenTimes
                → If yes: DENY
                → If no: ALLOW (neutral state)

Token-Specific Timeline Permissions

For each token timeline update request:
    Check if timeline time AND token ID match criteria
        → If no match: ALLOW (neutral state)
        → If match: Check if current time is in permanentlyPermittedTimes
            → If yes: ALLOW
            → If no: Check if current time is in permanentlyForbiddenTimes
                → If yes: DENY
                → If no: ALLOW (neutral state)

English:

• Basic: "For these permission execution times, the (timelineTime -> timelineValue) pairs can be updated"

• Token-Specific: "For these permission execution times, the (tokenId, timelineTime -> timelineValue) pairs can be updated"

Timeline vs Execution Times

• Timeline Times: Which timeline values can be updated?

• Execution Times: When the permission can be executed?

These may not align. For example, you might forbid updating timeline values for Jan 2024 during 2023.

Types

Basic Timeline Permissions

Control collection-level timeline updates:

interface TimedUpdatePermission {
    timelineTimes: UintRange[];
    permanentlyPermittedTimes: UintRange[];
    permanentlyForbiddenTimes: UintRange[];
}

Available Actions:

• canArchiveCollection

• canUpdateStandards

• canUpdateCustomData

• canUpdateManager

• canUpdateCollectionMetadata

Token-Specific Timeline Permissions

Control token metadata timeline updates:

interface TimedUpdateWithTokenIdsPermission {
    timelineTimes: UintRange[];
    tokenIds: UintRange[];
    permanentlyPermittedTimes: UintRange[];
    permanentlyForbiddenTimes: UintRange[];
}

Available Actions:

• canUpdateTokenMetadata

Examples

Lock Collection Metadata Forever

{
    "canUpdateCollectionMetadata": [
        {
            "timelineTimes": [{ "start": "1", "end": "18446744073709551615" }],
            "permanentlyPermittedTimes": [],
            "permanentlyForbiddenTimes": [
                { "start": "1", "end": "18446744073709551615" }
            ]
        }
    ]
}

Lock Specific Timeline Period

{
    "canUpdateCollectionMetadata": [
        {
            "timelineTimes": [{ "start": "1000", "end": "2000" }],
            "permanentlyPermittedTimes": [],
            "permanentlyForbiddenTimes": [
                { "start": "1", "end": "18446744073709551615" }
            ]
        }
    ]
}

Lock Token Metadata for Existing Tokens

{
    "canUpdateTokenMetadata": [
        {
            "timelineTimes": [{ "start": "1", "end": "18446744073709551615" }],
            "tokenIds": [{ "start": "1", "end": "100" }],
            "permanentlyPermittedTimes": [],
            "permanentlyForbiddenTimes": [
                { "start": "1", "end": "18446744073709551615" }
            ]
        }
    ]
}

Allow Updates Only During Specific Period

{
    "canUpdateCollectionMetadata": [
        {
            "timelineTimes": [{ "start": "1", "end": "18446744073709551615" }],
            "permanentlyPermittedTimes": [
                { "start": "1704067200000", "end": "1735689600000" }
            ],
            "permanentlyForbiddenTimes": []
        }
    ]
