Interoperability & Standards

The T-REX protocol leverages established blockchain standards to ensure compatibility, security, and ease of integration within the broader blockchain ecosystem. By building on these standards, T-REX provides a robust framework for the issuance and management of security tokens.

ERC-20: The Foundation

ERC-20 is the most widely recognized token standard in the Ethereum ecosystem. It defines a set of rules that all Ethereum tokens must follow, ensuring compatibility with various platforms and services.

• Fungibility: ERC-20 tokens are fungible, meaning each token is identical in type and value to another token.

• Interoperability: The standard allows ERC-20 tokens to be used seamlessly across different Ethereum-based applications, exchanges, and wallets.

• Basic Functions: ERC-20 defines basic functions such as transferring tokens, checking balances, and approving tokens as spendable by another on-chain third party.

Enhancements in ERC-3643 T-REX Protocol

While ERC-20 provides a solid foundation, the T-REX protocol extends its capabilities to meet the specific needs of security tokens.

Identity Standards

T-REX incorporates robust identity management standards to enforce compliance with regulatory requirements:

• ERC-734 and ERC-735: These standards are used for identity creation and claim management. They enable the integration of verifiable credentials, ensuring that only eligible participants can hold and transfer tokens.

  • ERC-734: Focuses on managing key holders and identity-related operations.

  • ERC-735: Deals with claims, allowing third parties to issue claims about a specific identity.

Proxy Standards

To enhance flexibility and upgradability, T-REX uses established proxy standards:

• ERC-1822: The Universal Upgradeable Proxy Standard (UUPS) is adapted in T-REX to manage contract upgrades. This ensures that tokens can evolve and incorporate new features without disrupting existing functionality.

• Beacon Proxy: This standard is used to manage contract implementations efficiently. The T-REX protocol leverages the Beacon Proxy to maintain a centralized version management system, simplifying the process of contract upgrades.

Compatibility with Existing Standards

The T-REX protocol ensures full compatibility with existing token standards, allowing seamless integration into the current blockchain ecosystem:

• Interoperability with ERC-20: Despite its additional features, T-REX tokens maintain full compatibility with ERC-20 exchanges and tools. This means that T-REX tokens can be traded and managed using existing ERC-20 infrastructure with minor modifications.

• Integration of Identity and Compliance: The protocol's identity and compliance features are designed to work in tandem with existing standards, enhancing security and regulatory adherence without sacrificing usability.
