Sign in with NFT
[Your Name]
[Date]
"Sign in with NFT" is a decentralized authentication solution that allows users to sign in to websites using their NFTs as login credentials. The solution leverages Ethereum and other EVM-compatible blockchains to verify NFT ownership and allows websites to adopt a secure, seamless, and user-owned login system.
This solution will be provided as an open-source SDK that any website can easily integrate into their front-end and back-end infrastructure, enabling crypto users to authenticate with their wallet and NFTs.
-
Users (End-Users)
- Crypto enthusiasts and NFT holders.
- Users of Web3 platforms looking for a decentralized login method.
- Privacy-conscious users who want to control their own digital identity.
-
Developers (Website Developers)
- Web2 and Web3 developers who want to integrate NFT-based login to onboard crypto users.
- Platforms looking to increase engagement by offering NFT-based rewards and access.
- E-commerce, content, and membership sites looking to simplify payments and authentication by linking wallets.
- Ease of Integration: Developers should be able to integrate "Sign in with NFT" into their websites with minimal effort using a lightweight JavaScript SDK.
- User Ownership: Users should have full ownership of their login credentials via NFTs, with no need for centralized account management.
- Cross-Chain Compatibility: The solution should initially support Ethereum and Polygon, with the ability to expand to other EVM chains in the future.
- High Security: The login process must ensure secure verification of NFT ownership and wallet signatures.
- Customizability: Developers should be able to customize login requirements based on specific NFT collections or attributes.
-
User Login with NFTs
- Users authenticate themselves using their wallet (MetaMask, WalletConnect) and the NFTs they own.
- The SDK will handle the wallet connection, signature generation, and verification.
-
Customizable NFT Login Rules
- Websites can define the specific NFTs or collections that users must own to log in.
- Optional customization based on NFT attributes (e.g., rare NFTs granting premium access).
-
Wallet Connection
- Support for popular wallets (MetaMask, WalletConnect, etc.) to allow users to connect and sign in easily.
- After the wallet connects, the user signs a challenge message proving they control the wallet.
-
Backend NFT Verification
- The back-end verifies the signed message and NFT ownership by querying the blockchain (Ethereum, Polygon, etc.).
- This ensures that only users holding the required NFT can sign in.
-
Cross-Platform Integration
- The SDK should work across various types of websites, including e-commerce, membership, social platforms, and content platforms.
-
Multi-Chain Support
- Initial support for Ethereum and Polygon, with a roadmap to expand to more chains like Optimism, Arbitrum, and Base.
-
SDK Integration:
- Provide a lightweight JavaScript SDK for developers to integrate the "Sign in with NFT" button on their websites.
- The SDK should handle wallet connections, challenge generation, and interaction with the wallet provider (MetaMask, WalletConnect, etc.).
-
Wallet Interaction:
- Ensure seamless connection to wallets like MetaMask.
- Handle errors gracefully if users fail to connect their wallet or sign the message.
- Provide developers the ability to customize the UI for the wallet connection.
-
Challenge Message Generation:
- The back-end must generate a unique challenge message for the user to sign. This message should include a timestamp to prevent replay attacks.
-
Signature Verification:
- Verify the signed message from the wallet to ensure that it matches the public key of the user's address.
-
NFT Ownership Verification:
- Query the blockchain (Ethereum, Polygon, etc.) to check if the wallet address holds the required NFT.
- If the user owns the required NFT, proceed with authentication. If not, return an error message.
-
Node Setup:
- Use an Ethereum node (Infura, Alchemy, or similar services) to interact with the blockchain and verify NFT ownership.
-
Cross-Chain Queries:
- Ensure compatibility with multiple chains to verify NFT ownership across different blockchains (starting with Ethereum and Polygon).
- Developer Adoption: Measure the number of developers integrating the "Sign in with NFT" SDK into their websites.
- User Engagement: Track how many users successfully log in to websites using NFTs.
- Wallet Compatibility: Ensure seamless compatibility with popular wallets (MetaMask, WalletConnect, Coinbase Wallet).
- Security: Ensure zero security breaches or vulnerabilities in the NFT ownership and login process.
- I want to log in to websites using my wallet and NFT without needing to create a traditional account.
- I want to be able to control my identity through the NFTs I own and use different NFTs on different platforms.
- I want to easily integrate NFT-based login into my website using a simple SDK.
- I want to specify which NFTs users need to hold to access premium features or exclusive content.
-
Phase 1 - Research and Planning (1-2 Weeks):
- Finalize the technical specifications.
- Choose supported blockchain networks and services (e.g., Infura, Alchemy).
- Define user flows and security requirements.
-
Phase 2 - SDK Development (3-4 Weeks):
- Develop and test the front-end SDK for wallet connection and NFT ownership verification.
- Build out wallet interactions (MetaMask, WalletConnect).
- Create examples of front-end integrations for developers.
-
Phase 3 - Backend Implementation (4-5 Weeks):
- Develop the back-end challenge generation and signature verification processes.
- Implement blockchain queries for NFT ownership.
- Set up APIs for developers to interact with.
-
Phase 4 - Testing and QA (2-3 Weeks):
- Conduct end-to-end testing with real wallets and NFTs.
- Perform security testing to ensure safe wallet interactions and NFT verification.
- Gather feedback from developers and make necessary adjustments.
-
Phase 5 - Launch and Documentation (2 Weeks):
- Write detailed developer documentation for the SDK and API.
- Launch the SDK and make it available as an open-source project on GitHub.
- Promote the project within the Web3 and developer communities.
- Sign in with NFT SDK: A JavaScript SDK that developers can embed in their websites for wallet connection and NFT-based login.
- Backend API: A server-side solution for generating challenges, verifying signatures, and checking NFT ownership.
- Developer Documentation: A comprehensive guide to integrating "Sign in with NFT," covering both front-end and back-end implementations.
- Security Audits: Ensure that the solution passes all security checks, including preventing replay attacks and validating NFT ownership.
