<h2 id="summary"><a class="header" href="#summary">Summary</a></h2>
|
|
<p>This RFC proposes changing the current deposit requirements on the Polkadot and Kusama Asset Hub for creating NFT collection, minting an individual NFT, and lowering it's coresponding metadata and attribute deposit. The objective is to lower the barrier to entry for NFT creators, fostering a more inclusive and vibrant ecosystem while maintaining network integrity and preventing spam.</p>
|
|
<h2 id="motivation"><a class="header" href="#motivation">Motivation</a></h2>
|
|
<p>The current deposit of 10 DOT for collection creation (along with 0.01 DOT for item deposit and 0.2 DOT for metadata and attribute deposit) on the Polkadot Asset Hub and 0.1 KSM on Kusama Asset Hub presents a significant financial barrier for many NFT creators. By lowering the deposit requirements, we aim to encourage more NFT creators to participate in the Polkadot NFT ecosystem, thereby enriching the diversity and vibrancy of the community and its offerings.</p>
|
|
<p>The actual implementation of the deposit is an arbitrary number coming from <a href="https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/blob/master/cumulus/parachains/runtimes/assets/asset-hub-rococo/src/lib.rs#L757">Uniques pallet</a>. It is not a result of any economic analysis. This proposal aims to adjust the deposit from constant to dynamic pricing based on the <code>deposit</code> function with respect to stakeholders.</p>
|
|
<h3 id="requirements"><a class="header" href="#requirements">Requirements</a></h3>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Deposit SHOULD be derived from <code>deposit</code> function adjusted by correspoding pricing mechansim.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<h2 id="stakeholders"><a class="header" href="#stakeholders">Stakeholders</a></h2>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><strong>NFT Creators</strong>: Primary beneficiaries of the proposed change, particularly those who found the current deposit requirements prohibitive.</li>
|
|
<li><strong>NFT Platforms</strong>: As the facilitator of artists' relations, NFT Marketplaces has a vested interest in onboarding new users and making the platform more accessible.</li>
|
|
<li><strong>dApp Developers</strong>: Making the blockspace more accessible will encourage developers to create and build unique dApps in the Polkadot ecosystem.</li>
|
|
<li><strong>Polkadot Community</strong>: Stands to benefit from an influx of artists, creators and diverse NFT collections, enhancing the overall ecosystem.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Previous discussions have been held within the Polkadot Forum community and with artists expressing their concerns about the deposit amounts. <a href="https://forum.polkadot.network/t/polkadot-assethub-high-nft-collection-deposit/4262">Link</a>.</p>
|
|
<h2 id="explanation"><a class="header" href="#explanation">Explanation</a></h2>
|
|
<p>This RFC proposes a revision of the deposit constants in the nfts pallet on the Polkadot Asset Hub. The new deposit amounts would be determined by a standard deposit formula.</p>
|
|
<p>This RFC suggests modifying deposit constants defined in the <code>nfts</code> pallet on the Polkadot Asset Hub to require a lower deposit. The reduced deposit amount should be determined by the <code>deposit</code> adjusted by the pricing mechanism (arbitrary number/another pricing function). </p>
|
|
<h3 id="current-code-structure"><a class="header" href="#current-code-structure">Current code structure</a></h3>
|
|
<p><a href="https://github.com/polkadot-fellows/runtimes/commit/c2a3c9881c0ee6393d1665fefd9671d040215188#diff-32714ab945a24cbcc5979fd9065e0c13e0beb59f7533b38e2e97a872b23cb125R596-R600">Current deposit requirements are as follows</a></p>
|
|
<p>Looking at the current code structure the currently implemented we can find that the pricing re-uses the logic of how Uniques are defined:</p>
|
|
<pre><pre class="playground"><code class="language-rust"><span class="boring">#![allow(unused)]
|
|
</span><span class="boring">fn main() {
|
|
</span>parameter_types! {
|
|
// re-use the Uniques deposits
|
|
pub const NftsCollectionDeposit: Balance = UniquesCollectionDeposit::get();
|
|
pub const NftsItemDeposit: Balance = UniquesItemDeposit::get();
|
|
pub const NftsMetadataDepositBase: Balance = UniquesMetadataDepositBase::get();
|
|
pub const NftsAttributeDepositBase: Balance = UniquesAttributeDepositBase::get();
|
|
pub const NftsDepositPerByte: Balance = UniquesDepositPerByte::get();
|
|
}
|
|
<span class="boring">}</span></code></pre></pre>
|
|
<p>In the existing setup, the Uniques are defined with specific deposit values for different elements:</p>
|
|
<pre><pre class="playground"><code class="language-rust"><span class="boring">#![allow(unused)]
|
|
</span><span class="boring">fn main() {
|
|
</span>parameter_types! {
|
|
pub const UniquesCollectionDeposit: Balance = UNITS / 10; // 1 / 10 UNIT deposit to create a collection
|
|
pub const UniquesItemDeposit: Balance = UNITS / 1_000; // 1 / 1000 UNIT deposit to mint an item
|
|
pub const UniquesMetadataDepositBase: Balance = deposit(1, 129);
|
|
pub const UniquesAttributeDepositBase: Balance = deposit(1, 0);
|
|
pub const UniquesDepositPerByte: Balance = deposit(0, 1);
|
|
}
|
|
<span class="boring">}</span></code></pre></pre>
|
|
<p>As we can see in the code definition above the current code does not use the <code>deposit</code> funtion when the collection in the following instances: <code>UniquesCollectionDeposit</code> and <code>UniquesItemDeposit</code>.</p>
|
|
<h3 id="proposed-modification-using-the-deposit-function"><a class="header" href="#proposed-modification-using-the-deposit-function">Proposed Modification Using the Deposit Function</a></h3>
|
|
<p>This proposed modification adjusts the deposits to use the <code>deposit</code> function instead of using an arbitrary number.</p>
|
|
<pre><pre class="playground"><code class="language-rust"><span class="boring">#![allow(unused)]
|
|
</span><span class="boring">fn main() {
|
|
</span>parameter_types! {
|
|
pub const NftsCollectionDeposit: Balance = deposit(1, 130);
|
|
pub const NftsItemDeposit: Balance = deposit(1, 164);
|
|
pub const NftsMetadataDepositBase: Balance = deposit(1, 129);
|
|
pub const NftsAttributeDepositBase: Balance = deposit(1, 0);
|
|
pub const NftsDepositPerByte: Balance = deposit(0, 1);
|
|
}
|
|
<span class="boring">}</span></code></pre></pre>

|
|
<p>In an effort to further lower barriers to entry and foster greater inclusivity, we propose additional modifications to the pricing structure. These proposed reductions are based on a collaborative and calculated approach, involving the consensus of leading NFT creators within the Polkadot and Kusama Asset Hub communities. The adjustments to deposit amounts are not made arbitrarily. Instead, they are the result of detailed discussions and analyses conducted with prominent NFT creators. </p>

<h2 id="discussion-of-other-proposals"><a class="header" href="#discussion-of-other-proposals">Discussion of Other Proposals</a></h2>
|
|
<p>Several innovative proposals have been considered to enhance the network's adaptability and manage deposit requirements more effectively:</p>
|
|
<h3 id="enhanced-weak-governance-origin-model"><a class="header" href="#enhanced-weak-governance-origin-model">Enhanced Weak Governance Origin Model</a></h3>
|
|
<p>The concept of a weak governance origin, controlled by a consortium like the System Collective, has been proposed. This model would allow for dynamic adjustments of NFT deposit requirements in response to market conditions, adhering to storage deposit norms. </p>
|
|
<p><strong>Enhancements and Concerns:</strong></p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><strong>Responsiveness</strong>: To address concerns about delayed responses, the model could incorporate automated triggers based on predefined market indicators, ensuring timely adjustments.</li>
|
|
<li><strong>Stability vs. Flexibility</strong>: Balancing stability with the need for flexibility is challenging. To mitigate the issue of frequent changes in DOT-based deposits, a mechanism for gradual and predictable adjustments could be introduced.</li>
|
|
<li><strong>Scalability</strong>: The model's scalability is a concern, given the numerous deposits across the system. A more centralized approach to deposit management might be needed to avoid constant, decentralized adjustments.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<h3 id="function-based-pricing-model"><a class="header" href="#function-based-pricing-model">Function-Based Pricing Model</a></h3>
|
|
<p>Another proposal is to use a mathematical function to regulate deposit prices, initially allowing low prices to encourage participation, followed by a gradual increase to prevent network bloat.</p>
|
|
<p><strong>Refinements:</strong></p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><strong>Choice of Function</strong>: A logarithmic or sigmoid function is favored over an exponential one, as these functions increase prices at a rate that encourages participation while preventing prohibitive costs.</li>
|
|
<li><strong>Adjustment of Constants</strong>: To finely tune the pricing rise, one of the function's constants could correlate with the total number of NFTs on AssetHub. This would align the deposit requirements with the actual usage and growth of the network.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<h3 id="linking-deposit-to-usdx-value"><a class="header" href="#linking-deposit-to-usdx-value">Linking Deposit to USD(x) Value</a></h3>
|
|
<p>This approach suggests pegging the deposit value to a stable currency like the USD, introducing predictability and stability for network users.</p>
|
|
<p><strong>Considerations and Challenges:</strong></p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><strong>Market Dynamics</strong>: One perspective is that fluctuations in native currency value naturally balance user participation and pricing, deterring network spam while encouraging higher-value collections. Conversely, there's an argument for allowing broader participation if the DOT/KSM value increases.</li>
|
|
<li><strong>Complexity and Risks</strong>: Implementing a USD-based pricing system could add complexity and potential risks. The implementation needs to be carefully designed to avoid unintended consequences, such as excessive reliance on external financial systems or currencies.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Each of these proposals offers unique advantages and challenges. The optimal approach may involve a combination of these ideas, carefully adjusted to address the specific needs and dynamics of the Polkadot and Kusama networks.</p>
|
|
<h2 id="drawbacks"><a class="header" href="#drawbacks">Drawbacks</a></h2>
|
|
<p>Modifying deposit requirements necessitates a balanced assessment of the potential drawbacks. Highlighted below are cogent points extracted from the discourse on the <a href="https://forum.polkadot.network/t/polkadot-assethub-high-nft-collection-deposit/4262">Polkadot Forum conversation</a>, which provide critical perspectives on the implications of such changes:</p>
|
|
<p>The discourse around modifying deposit requirements includes various perspectives:</p>
|
|
<p>Adjusting NFT deposit requirements on Polkadot and Kusama Asset Hubs involves key challenges:</p>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p><strong>State Growth and Technical Concerns</strong>: Lowering deposit requirements can lead to increased blockchain state size, potentially causing state bloat. This growth needs to be managed to prevent strain on the network's resources and maintain operational efficiency. </p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p><strong>Network Security and Market Response</strong>: Reduced deposits might increase transaction volume, potentially bloating the state, thereby impacting network security. Additionally, adapting to the cryptocurrency market's volatility is crucial. The mechanism for setting deposit amounts must be responsive yet stable, avoiding undue complexity for users.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p><strong>Economic Impact on Previous Stakeholders</strong>: The change could have varied economic effects on previous (before the change) creators, platform operators, and investors. Balancing these interests is essential to ensure the adjustment benefits the ecosystem without negatively impacting its value dynamics. However in the particular case of Polkadot and Kusama Asset Hub this does not pose a concern since there are very few collections currently and thus previous stakeholders wouldn't be much affected. As of date 9th January 2024 there are 42 collections on Polkadot Asset Hub and 191 on Kusama Asset Hub with a relatively low volume.</p>

|
|
<h3 id="security-concerns"><a class="header" href="#security-concerns">Security concerns</a></h3>
|
|
<p>The prevention of "spam" could be prevented by OpenGov proposal to <code>forceDestoy</code> list of collections that are not suitable.</p>
|

<h2 id="performance-ergonomics-and-compatibility"><a class="header" href="#performance-ergonomics-and-compatibility">Performance, Ergonomics, and Compatibility</a></h2>
|
|
<h3 id="performance"><a class="header" href="#performance">Performance</a></h3>
|
|
<p>The primary performance consideration stems from the potential for state bloat due to increased activity from lower deposit requirements. It's vital to monitor and manage this to avoid any negative impact on the chain's performance. Strategies for mitigating state bloat, including efficient data management and periodic reviews of storage requirements, will be essential.</p>
|
|
<h3 id="ergonomics"><a class="header" href="#ergonomics">Ergonomics</a></h3>
|
|
<p>The proposed change aims to enhance the user experience for artists, traders and utilizers of Kusama and Polkadot asset hub. Making Polkadot and Kusama more accessible and user-friendly.</p>
|
|
<h3 id="compatibility"><a class="header" href="#compatibility">Compatibility</a></h3>
|
|
<p>The change does not impact compatibility as <code>redeposit</code> function is already implemented.</p>
|
|
<h2 id="unresolved-questions"><a class="header" href="#unresolved-questions">Unresolved Questions</a></h2>
|
|
<p>There remain unresolved questions regarding the implementation of a function-based pricing model for deposits and the feasibility of linking deposits to a USD(x) value. These aspects require further exploration and discussion to ascertain their viability and potential impact on the ecosystem.</p>
|
|
<h2 id="future-directions-and-related-material"><a class="header" href="#future-directions-and-related-material">Future Directions and Related Material</a></h2>
|
|
<p>We recommend initially lowering the deposit to the suggested levels. Subsequently, based on the outcomes and feedback, we can continue discussions on more complex models such as function-based pricing or currency-linked deposits.</p>
|
|
<p>If accepted, this RFC could pave the way for further discussions and proposals aimed at enhancing the inclusivity and accessibility of the Polkadot ecosystem. </p>
