tl:dr Forgery system, display and deleting rules, making NFT and cNFT mokens.

Our last article on “Naming and Minting New Mokens” discussed how the rules for naming and increasing mint prices within an era ensure the principles of uniqueness and scarcity of a moken. To further ensure the principles of uniqueness and scarcity of mokens as non-fungible tokens, mokens.io has rules in play for forgeries as well as content display.

Forgery System

It is possible to create a moken that uses a moken name that is similar to an existing moken and that is about the same thing. Mokens about the same thing as earlier mokens are forgeries. Here is an example:

To make it clear which mokens are forgeries the mokens website clearly labels forgeries and provides links to the originals. Here we can see that Moken 27 has been labeled a forgery and a link has been provided to the original, Moken 23.

In the future, Mokens.io will create an ethereum contract that people use to vote with their mokens about which mokens are forgeries and the website will display forgery data from this source (current Mokens Contract Bug Bounty).

Outside of the forgery of existing mokens, mokens with illegal, hateful, destructive, or pornographic content will not be displayed on the mokens website. Mokens displaying such content will be hidden from the site.

Yes, hidden! NOT deleted!

Mokens Cannot be Deleted

Adding the ability to delete mokens to the mokens contract would significantly increase the amount of gas needed to mint mokens and increase gas in other areas of the contract. The mokens contract has been extremely optimized to keep gas costs low.

If you have a moken that you want to delete then we suggest that you sell it or transfer it to a different ethereum address. In the future you will be able to change or delete the description, image and attributes of mokens you own. We think most users will not want to delete their mokens.

Mokens data on the server could be deleted and but the mokens in the contract cannot be burned or deleted. If someone wants to get rid of a moken they need to transfer it to another address.

So what can I make a moken for right now?

To say the sky’s the limit, would not only be cliché but also an understatement. The infinite and endless ways that we as human seek to express ourselves, communicate, and transact are just as endless with NFTs. We have started talking with game companies about how mokens can be used in their games and the value it will create for their users and moken holders. So far, Mokens.io has observed several organizations and projects making mokens about their group for marketing or representative purposes.

What could I make a moken for with the ERC-998 extension, aka cNFTs?

A moken is an ERC-721 token and a composable, which is a non-fungible token (or unique digital asset) that can own or be owned by other non-fungible tokens. Composables can be composed into aggregate structures linked by ownership.

Composing Composables — Using Top-Down and Bottom-Up Combinations

Example of how ownership of composables can be mapped with a tree traversal.

It is notable to mention that a cNFT can be composed to another cNFT. For example, a regular erc-721 token (like a cryptokitty) with bottom-up composables (say a hat and a painting like above) can be owned by a top-up composable, like a Crypto-fighter. If this sounds like magic, that’s because the NFTy Magicians have been hard at work making this possible! Learn more about Top-Down and Bottom-Up composables from Nick Mudge’s article.

Stay tuned for more updates! Our next Medium article titled “Determining the Market Value of a Moken?” will cover forgeries, display, deleting, and new use cases.
