Token

Methods

totalSupply

function totalSupply() constant returns (uint256 supply)

Get the total coin supply

balanceOf

function balanceOf(address _address) constant returns (uint256 balance)

Get the account balance of another account with address _address

transfer

function transfer(address _to, uint256 _value) returns (bool _success)

Send _value amount of coins to address _to

transferFrom

function transferFrom(address _from, address _to, uint256 _value) returns (bool success)

Send _value amount of coins from address _from to address _to

The transferFrom method is used for a "direct debit" workflow, allowing contracts to send coins on your behalf, for example to "deposit" to a contract address and/or to charge fees in sub-currencies; the command should fail unless the _from account has deliberately authorized the sender of the message via some mechanism; we propose these standardized APIs for approval:

approve

function approve(address _address) returns (bool success)

Allow _address to direct debit from your account with full custody. Only implement if absolutely required and use carefully. See approveOnce below for a more limited method.

unapprove

function unapprove(address _address) returns (bool success)

Unapprove address _address to direct debit from your account if it was previously approved. Must reset both one-time and full custody approvals.

isApprovedFor

function isApprovedFor(address _target, address _proxy) constant returns (bool success)

Returns 1 if _proxy is allowed to direct debit from _target

approveOnce

function approveOnce(address _address, uint256 _maxValue) returns (bool success)

Makes a one-time approval for _address to send a maximum amount of currency equal to _maxValue

isApprovedOnceFor

function isApprovedOnceFor(address _target, address _proxy) returns (uint256 maxValue)

Returns _maxValue if _proxy is allowed to direct debit the returned maxValue from address _target only once. The approval must be reset on any transfer by _proxy of _maxValue or less.

Events

Transfer

event Transfer(address indexed _from, address indexed _to, uint256 _value)

Triggered when tokens are transferred.

AddressApproval

event AddressApproval(address indexed _address, address indexed _proxy, bool _result)

Triggered when an _address approves _proxy to direct debit from their account.

AddressApprovalOnce

event AddressApprovalOnce(address indexed _address, address indexed _proxy, uint256 _value)

Triggered when an _address approves _proxy to direct debit from their account only once for a maximum of _value

Also, I think using createCheque(2**100) for the approve use case is going to lead to less clear code. It gets better if you make the magic number a constant, like createCheque(UNLIMITED_CHEQUE_VALUE), but lots of people won't do that. I think it's worth having a createBlankCheque or something for the approve scenario. Most tokens will use the TokenLib to handle all of the cheque logic, so it doesn't really make things worse for token authors.

per obscuren's suggestion on Gitter, created this issue for further discussion
ethereum/EIPs#19

I also think there is a problem with the terminology of cheques since they imply one-offs. Cheques are also unique, and here cheques wouldn't return unique IDs or anything; those are merely approval methods for transfers using internal bookkeeping. I think the current approve/transfer terminology is accurate and simple enough, instead of ending up with a mix of transfer and cashCheque. Would we change unapprove to tearCheque? There's also that ambiguity of cheques adding up, where approvals more clearly override a previous one.

In the use case described by Vitalik of contracts charging fees in subcurrencies, it could easily cost more to have to call approveOnce each time (if we replace the current approve method with it) than the actual fee in subcurrency. For that reason I think we should keep both approve and approveOnce, but we could add the _maxValue argument to the former, that way subscriptions or fees could be taken in multiple calls but only up to a certain amount. Another reason to keep the approval terminology, as I think it's much simpler to describe approve and approveOnce than some createMultiCheque and createCheque. Regarding isApprovedFor, it would have to return the approved amount if we do add _maxValue, just as isApprovedOnceFor does.

@frozeman I'd also like to discuss the addition of decimals, token name and symbol sooner than later. It could really simplify the task of getting a token's basic information into wallets and other dApps, and I think it does belong in a token's contract before a registry.

Its pretty hard to keep up with the agreement. I will move this discussion into an ERC in the comments and we can continue there. The advantage is that when we quote each other we get notified via email etc.

Cheque is a very british/american thing, so an european is not so familiar with the details about cheques. Though i thought it sounded a bit more clear than approve.
