An ERC998ERC721 top-down composable is an ERC721 token with additional functionality for owning other ERC721 tokens.
An ERC998ERC20 top-down composable is an ERC721 token with additional functionality for owning ERC20 tokens.
An ERC998ERC721 bottom-up composable is an ERC721 token with additional functionality for being owned by an ERC721 token.
An ERC998ERC20 bottom-up composable is an ERC20 token with additional functionality for being owned by an ERC721 token.
A top-down composable contract stores and keeps track of child tokens for each of its tokens.
A bottom-up composable contract stores and keeps track of a parent token for each its tokens.
With composable tokens it is possible to compose lists or trees of ERC721 and ERC20 tokens connected by ownership. Any such structure will have a single owner address at the root of the structure that is the owner of the entire composition. The entire composition can be transferred with one transaction by changing the root owner.
Different composables, top-down and bottom-up, have their advantages and disadvantages which are explained in the Rational section. It is possible for a token to be one or more kinds of composable token.
A non-fungible token is ERC998 compliant and is an ERC998 Composable if it implements one or more of the following interfaces:
ERC998ERC721TopDown
ERC998ERC20TopDown
ERC998ERC721BottomUp
ERC998ERC20BottomUp
Specification
ERC721
ERC998ERC721 top-down, ERC998ERC20 top-down, and ERC998ERC721 bottom-up composable contracts must implement the ERC-721 interface.
ERC20
ERC998ERC20 bottom-up composable contracts must implement the ERC-20 interface.
ERC165
The ERC-165 standard must be applied to each ERC998 interface that is used.
Authentication
Authenticating whether a user or contract can execute some action works the same for both ERC998ERC721 top-down and ERC998ERC721 bottom-up composables.
A rootOwner refers to the owner address at the top of a tree of composables and ERC721 tokens.
Authentication within any composable is done by finding the rootOwner and comparing it to msg.sender, the return result of getApproved(tokenId) and the return result of isApprovedForAll(rootOwner, msg.sender). If a match is found then authentication passes, otherwise authentication fails and the contract throws.
The approve(address _approved, uint256 _tokenId) and getApproved(uint256 _tokenId) ERC721 functions are implemented specifically for the rootOwner. This enables a tree of composables to be transferred to a new rootOwner without worrying about which addresses have been approved in child composables, because any prior approves can only be used by the prior rootOwner.
The rootOwner of a composable is gotten by calling rootOwnerOf(uint256 _tokenId) or rootOwnerOfChild(address _childContract, uint256 _childTokenId). These functions are used by top-down and bottom-up composables to traverse up the tree of composables and ERC721 tokens to find the rootOwner.
ERC998ERC721 top-down and bottom-up composables are interoperable with each other. It is possible for a top-down composable to own a bottom-up composable or for a top-down composable to own an ERC721 token that owns a bottom-up token. In any configuration calling rootOwnerOf(uint256 _tokenID) on a composable will return the root owner address at the top of the ownership tree.
It is important to get the traversal logic of rootOwnerOf right. The logic for rootOwnerOf is the same whether or not a composable is bottom-up or top-down or both.
Here is the logic:
Logic for rootOwnerOf(uint256 _tokenId)
If the token is a bottom-up composable and has a parent token then call rootOwnerOf for the parent token.
If the call was successful then the returned address is the rootOwner.
Otherwise call rootOwnerOfChild for the parent token.
If the call was successful then the returned address is the rootOwner.
Otherwise get the owner address of the token and that is the rootOwner.
Otherwise call rootOwnerOfChild for the token
If the call was successful then the returned address is the rootOwner.
Otherwise get the owner address of the token and that is the rootOwner.
Calling rootOwnerOfChild for a token means the following logic:
// Logic for calling rootOwnerOfChild for a tokenId
addresstokenOwner=ownerOf(tokenId);addresschildContract=address(this);bytes32rootOwner=ERC998ERC721(tokenOwner).rootOwnerOfChild(childContract,tokenId);
But understand that the real call to rootOwnerOfChild should be made with assembly so that the code can check if the call failed and so that the staticcall opcode is used to ensure that no state is modified.
Tokens/contracts that implement the above authentication and traversal functionality are “composable aware”.
Composable Transfer Function Parameter Format
Composable functions that make transfers follow the same parameter format: from:to:what.
For example the ` getChild(address _from, uint256 _tokenId, address _childContract, uint256 _childTokenId) composable function transfers an ERC721 token from an address to a top-down composable. The _from parameter is the **from**, the _tokenId parameter is the **to** and the address _childContract, uint256 _childTokenId` parameters are the what.
Another example is the safeTransferChild(uint256 _fromTokenId, address _to, address _childContract, uint256 _childTokenId) function. The _fromTokenId is the from, the _to is the to and the address _childContract, address _childTokenId parameters are the what.
transferFrom/safeTransferFrom Functions Do Not Transfer Tokens Owned By Tokens
In bottom-up and top-down composable contracts the transferFrom and safeTransferFrom functions must throw if they are called directly to transfer a token that is owned by another token.
transferFrom/safeTransferFrom functions must be used to transfer tokens that are owned by an address.
ERC721 Top-Down Composable
ERC721 top-down composables act as containers for ERC721 tokens.
ERC721 top-down composables are ERC721 tokens that can receive, hold and transfer ERC721 tokens.
There are two ways to transfer a ERC721 token to a top-down composable:
Use the function safeTransferFrom(address _from, address _to, uint256 _tokenId, bytes data) function. The _to argument is the top-down composable contract address. The bytes data argument holds the integer value of the top-down composable tokenId that the ERC721 token is transferred to.
Call approve in the ERC721 token contract for the top-down composable contract. Then call getChild in the composable contract.
The first ways is for ERC721 contracts that have a safeTransferFrom function. The second way is for contracts that do not have this function such as cryptokitties.
Here is an example of transferring ERC721 token 3 from an address to top-down composable token 6:
Every ERC721 top-down composable compliant contract must implement the ERC998ERC721TopDown interface.
The ERC998ERC721TopDownEnumerable and ERC998ERC20TopDownEnumerable interfaces are optional.

This function is used to transfer an ERC721 token when its contract does not have a safeTransferChild(uint256 _fromTokenId, address _to, address _childContract, uint256 _childTokenId, bytes _data) function.
A transfer with this function is done in two steps:
The owner of the ERC721 token calls approve or setApprovalForAll in the ERC721 contract for the top-down composable contract.
The owner of the ERC721 token calls getChild in the top-down composable contract for the ERC721 token.
The getChild function must authenticate that msg.sender is the owner of the ERC721 token in the ERC721 contract or is approved or an operator of the ERC721 token in the ERC721 contract.

ERC20 Top-Down Composable
ERC20 top-down composables act as containers for ERC20 tokens.
ERC20 top-down composables are ERC721 tokens that can receive, hold and transfer ERC20 tokens.
There are two ways to transfer ERC20 tokens to an ERC20 Top-Down Composable:
Use the transfer(address _to, uint256 _value, bytes _data); function from the ERC223 contract. The _to argument is the ERC20 top-down composable contract address. The _value argument is how many ERC20 tokens to transfer. The bytes argument holds the integer value of the top-down composable tokenId that receives the ERC20 tokens.
Call approve in the ERC20 contract for the ERC20 top-down composable contract. Then call getERC20(address _from, uint256 _tokenId, address _erc20Contract, uint256 _value) from the ERC20 top-down composable contract.
The first way is for ERC20 contracts that support the ERC223 standard. The second way is for contracts that do not.
ERC20 top-down composables implement the following interface:

ERC721 bottom-up composables are ERC721 tokens that attach themselves to other ERC721 tokens.
ERC721 bottom-up composable contracts store the owning address of a token and the parent tokenId if any.

functionrootOwnerOf(uint256_tokenId)publicviewreturns(bytes32rootOwner);
This function traverses token owners until the the root owner address of _tokenId is found.
The first 4 bytes of rootOwner contain the ERC998 magic value 0xcd740db5. The last 20 bytes contain the root owner address.
The magic value is returned because this function may be called on contracts when it is unknown if the contracts have a rootOwnerOf function. The magic value is used in such calls to ensure a valid return value is received.
If it is unknown whether a contract has the rootOwnerOf function then the first four bytes of the rootOwner return value must be compared to 0xcd740db5.
Here is an example of a value returned by rootOwnerOf.

functiontokenOwnerOf(uint256_tokenId)externalviewreturns(bytes32tokenOwner,uint256parentTokenId,boolisParent);
This function is used to get the owning address and parent tokenId of a token if there is one stored in the contract.
If isParent is true then tokenOwner is the owning ERC721 contract address and parentTokenId is a valid parent tokenId. If isParent is false then tokenOwner is a user address and parentTokenId does not contain a valid parent tokenId and must be ignored.
The first 4 bytes of tokenOwner contain the ERC998 magic value 0xcd740db5. The last 20 bytes contain the token owner address.
The magic value is returned because this function may be called on contracts when it is unknown if the contracts have a tokenOwnerOf function. The magic value is used in such calls to ensure a valid return value is received.

ERC20 Bottom-Up Composable
ERC20 bottom-up composables are ERC20 tokens that attach themselves to ERC721 tokens, or are owned by a user address like standard ERC20 tokens.
When owned by an ERC721 token, ERC20 bottom-up composable contracts store the owning address of a token and the parent tokenId. ERC20 bottom-up composables add several methods to the ERC20 and ERC223 interfaces allowing for querying the balance of parent tokens, and transferring tokens to, from, and between parent tokens.
This functionality can be implemented by adding one additional mapping to track balances of tokens, in addition to the standard mapping for tracking user address balances.
/// @dev This mapping tracks standard ERC20/ERC223 ownership, where an address owns
/// a particular amount of tokens.
mapping(address=>uint)userBalances;/// @dev This additional mapping tracks ERC998 ownership, where an ERC721 token owns
/// a particular amount of tokens. This tracks contractAddres => tokenId => balance

functionbalanceOfToken(address_tokenContract,uint256_tokenId)externalviewreturns(uint256amount);
This function returns the balance of a non-fungible token. It mirrors the standard ERC20 method balanceOf, but accepts the address of the parent token’s contract, and the parent token’s ID. This method behaves identically to balanceOf, but checks for ownership by ERC721 tokens rather than user addresses.
transferToParent
/// @notice Transfer tokens from owner address to a token
/// @param _from The owner address
/// @param _toContract The ERC721 contract of the receiving token
/// @param _toToken The receiving token
/// @param _amount The amount of tokens to transfer
functiontransferToParent(address_from,address_toContract,uint256_toTokenId,uint256_amount)external;
This function transfers an amount of tokens from a user address to an ERC721 token. This function MUST ensure that the recipient contract implements ERC721 using the ERC165 supportsInterface function. This function SHOULD ensure that the recipient token actually exists, by calling ownerOf on the recipient token’s contract, and ensuring it neither throws nor returns the zero address. This function MUST emit the TransferToParent event upon a successful transfer (in addition to the standard ERC20 Transfer event!). This function MUST throw if the _from account balance does not have enough tokens to spend.
transferFromParent
/// @notice Transfer token from a token to an address
/// @param _fromContract The address of the owning contract
/// @param _fromTokenId The owning token
/// @param _to The address the token is transferred to
/// @param _amount The amount of tokens to transfer
functiontransferFromParent(address_fromContract,uint256_fromTokenId,address_to,uint256_amount)external;
This function transfers an amount of tokens from an ERC721 token to an address. This function MUST emit the TransferFromParent event upon a successful transfer (in addition to the standard ERC20 Transfer event!). This function MUST throw if the balance of the sender ERC721 token is less than the _amount specified. This function MUST verify that the msg.sender owns the sender ERC721 token, and MUST throw otherwise.
transferFromParentERC223
/// @notice Transfer token from a token to an address, using ERC223 semantics
/// @param _fromContract The address of the owning contract
/// @param _fromTokenId The owning token
/// @param _to The address the token is transferred to
/// @param _amount The amount of tokens to transfer
/// @param _data Additional data with no specified format, can be used to specify the sender tokenId
functiontransferFromParentERC223(address_fromContract,uint256_fromTokenId,address_to,uint256_amount,bytes_data)external;
This function transfers an amount of tokens from an ERC721 token to an address. This function has identical requirements to transferFromParent, except that it additionally MUST invoke tokenFallback on the recipient address, if the address is a contract, as specified by ERC223.
transferAsChild
/// @notice Transfer a token from a token to another token
/// @param _fromContract The address of the owning contract
/// @param _fromTokenId The owning token
/// @param _toContract The ERC721 contract of the receiving token
/// @param _toToken The receiving token
/// @param _amount The amount tokens to transfer
functiontransferAsChild(address_fromContract,uint256_fromTokenId,address_toContract,uint256_toTokenId,uint256_amount)external;
This function transfers an amount of tokens from an ERC721 token to another ERC721 token. This function MUST emit BOTH the TransferFromParent and TransferToParent events (in addition to the standard ERC20 Transfer event!). This function MUST throw if the balance of the sender ERC721 token is less than the _amount specified. This function MUST verify that the msg.sender owns the sender ERC721 token, and MUST throw otherwise. This function MUST ensure that the recipient contract implements ERC721 using the ERC165 supportsInterface function. This function SHOULD ensure that the recipient token actually exists, by calling ownerOf on the recipient token’s contract, and ensuring it neither throws nor returns the zero address.
Notes
For backwards-compatibility, implementations MUST emit the standard ERC20 Transfer event when a transfer occurs, regardless of whether the sender and recipient are addresses or ERC721 tokens. In the case that either sender or recipient are tokens, the corresponding parameter in the Transfer event SHOULD be the contract address of the token.
Implementations MUST implement all ERC20 and ERC223 functions in addition to the functions specified in this interface.
Rationale
Two different kinds of composable (top-down and bottom-up) exist to handle different use cases. A regular ERC721 token cannot own a top-down composable, but it can own a bottom-up composable. A bottom-up composable cannot own a regular ERC721 but a top-down composable can own a regular ERC721 token. Having multiple kinds of composables enable different token ownership possibilities.
Which Kind of Composable To Use?
If you want to transfer regular ERC721 tokens to non-fungible tokens, then use top-down composables.
If you want to transfer non-fungible tokens to regular ERC721 tokens then use bottom-up composables.
Explicit Transfer Parameters
Every ERC998 transfer function includes explicit parameters to specify the prior owner and the new owner of a token. Explicitly providing from and to is done intentionally to avoid situations where tokens are transferred in unintended ways.
Here is an example of what could occur if from was not explicitly provided in transfer functions:
An exchange contract is an approved operator in a specific composable contract for user A, user B and user C.
User A transfers token 1 to user B. At the same time the exchange contract transfers token 1 to user C (with the implicit intention to transfer from user A). User B gets token 1 for a minute before it gets incorrectly transferred to user C. The second transfer should have failed but it didn’t because no explicit from was provided to ensure that token 1 came from user A.
Composables are designed to work with ERC721, ERC223 and ERC20 tokens.
Some older ERC721 contracts do not have a safeTransferFrom function. The getChild function can still be used to transfer a token to an ERC721 top-down composable.
If an ERC20 contract does not have the ERC223 function transfer(address _to, uint _value, bytes _data) then the getERC20 function can still be used to transfer ERC20 tokens to an ERC20 top-down composable.
