Generally speaking, the Web3 communitys understanding of Token mainly revolves around its asset attributes, but now, after Smart Layer assigns functional services to tokens, the concept of programmable assets gives tokens More room for imagination.

In Smart Layer, users have all the rights to call and use smart tokens and can access various third-party services through them. By transforming tokens from simple asset attributes into functional tokens, smart tokens not only improve asset scalability but also bring new development paths to Web3 games, loyalty programs and other fields. BlockBeats will introduce you to Smart Layer and its airdrop tutorial in this article.

Smart Layer Points Tutorial

Currently, Smart Layers points airdrop plan is in progress. If you complete tasks and collect points, you will have the opportunity to receive airdrop rewards of its token SLN. As of the time of writing, more than 1 million independent wallet addresses have participated in the event, and the number of transactions on the chain has reached more than 16.4 million.

Go to the Smart Layer official website, click Register Early and enter your email address to register. You will then see the task prompt and the points you already have (25 points).

Check your mailbox for emails from Smart Layer and click Active your pass. It will jump to the points interface of the Smart Layer official website again. At this time, the points are 50 points. Swipe down to reach the task interface. Currently, the activity to migrate Smart Layer Pass to the new Smart Layer network and earn 300 points has ended on January 16th. But there are other activities to continue earning points. For example, join Discord, follow the team on Twitter, recommend others to join Smart Layer, etc.

Smart Cats

Here is a special introduction to one of the tasks: holding the NFT series Smart Cats and SmartCat Loot, users can purchase these NFT series on OpenSea (pay attention to screening for similar names), and bind the wallet holding the NFT to the Smart Layer Earn points by registering an account. As of writing, the floor price of Samrt Cats is 0.368 MATIC, and the transaction volume exceeds 32 ETH. It once became the No. 1 NFT series in OpenSea last week. The floor price of SmartCat Loot is 0.25 ETH, and the trading volume has reached 74 ETH.

The ingenuity of the official design is that in addition to holding NFTs, you can also earn points by interacting with Smart Cats. The special feature of the NFT series Smart Cats based on the new Smart Layer standard is that it embodies the imagination of smart tokens. Smart tokens can be used as in-game props to connect users and project parties. Users can call various functions encapsulated in tokens within the project partys digital services, such as completing specific in-game tasks and cross-game achievements.

Therefore, Smart Cats, as smart tokens, can run directly in the wallet like an application. Users can directly click on Smart Cats to perform various interactions without jumping to a third-party website, including feeding, cleaning, and inviting other Smart Cats. Cats play and more. Currently, users can connect to the wallet holding NFT at https://viewer.tokenscript.org/, add Smart Cats tokens, interact on the token interface, and click on Cat Bio to view the indicator progress.

It is understood that each interaction with Smart Cat (Feed/Clean/Playdate) will earn 25 points, up to 15 times per day. Upgrading to a specific level can earn points ranging from 500 to 3500. In addition, starting from December 8, 2023, the community will distribute a cool cat every week for five weeks, and users can obtain it through a lottery. The higher the level of Smart Cat, the greater the chance of winning the sweepstakes.

TokenScript + ERC-5169 smart token

Smart Layer combines TokenScript concepts and the ERC-5169 standard. TokenScript was proposed by the AlphaWallet team in 2019 and is a programming interface specially designed for tokenization. TokenScript is essentially a JavaScript code layer with XML tags that describes token-related attributes, logic, operations, user interface and other elements. TokenScript files are issued and signed by the corresponding token issuer and can be imported by any service or device integrated with the TokenScript engine. And token issuers can add any information and rules to the tokens without being restricted by smart contracts.

Based on this, the TokenScript interface not only helps users access all functions of the token, but also allows the creation of more advanced, complex and flexible user token interactions. Tokens can run seamlessly between different platforms and wallets, and can integrate all token information to facilitate users to manage and understand assets.

Afterwards, TokenScript core developers proposed the Ethereum standard ERC-5169. ERC-5169 adds a scriptURI function to the Token contract, which is used to locate executable scripts related to the token. This enables the token to carry its own logic and behavior, greatly improving the interactivity of the token. According to the ERC-5169 standard, scripts defined by TokenScript can be embedded into tokens, allowing these tokens to interact with various services and applications in the Web3 ecosystem.

Therefore, Smart Layer can be seen as a service layer that connects the blockchain world and traditional network services and provides support and incentives. By integrating smart tokens and opening a bridge for tokenization of network services, Smart Layer can provide a better user experience and improve business efficiency. For token issuers, Smart Layer provides support for the creation and management of programmable smart tokens, and for traditional network services, Smart Layer simplifies the tokenization process. It can be said that Smart Layer has redefined the token economy to some extent. Tokens are no longer just an asset with only circulation properties, but can promote the development of the ecosystem by integrating rights, functions and systems.

At present, many traditional Web2 companies have reached cooperation with Smart Layer. Through TokenScript, digital assets will have their own Token front end.

Smart Layer raised a total of US$12 million in financing in 2021 and 2022 respectively. Investment institutions include HashKey Capital, Okx Ventures, SevenX Ventures, Mask Network, Fubushi Capital, etc.

On January 15, Smart Layer launched the test network and is expected to launch the main network in 2025. Although it was launched less than half a year ago, Smart Layer has already shown its development potential. According to the team, Smart Cats attracted the participation of more than 300,000 independent active wallets in just 60 days after its launch, becoming one of the most popular games in the Polygon ecosystem. The public beta version of Smart Layer Launchpad launched earlier this year received more than 1,000 applications from developers in just 10 days.

The narrative route of telling stories around assets has won several victories. It can be expected that the new asset paradigm of programmable assets in the new round of bull market will bring a richer narrative space to Web3.
