Proposal: Whitelist Ark Protocol’s Developer Wallets for InterChain NFT Contracts
Summary
We propose to whitelist Ark Protocol’s developer wallets to enable InterChain NFT (ICS721) contracts on Osmosis. This will:
- Enhance NFT interoperability across Cosmos chains
- Foster innovation and growth within the Osmosis ecosystem
- Streamline contract deployment and updates
Ark Protocol and Stargaze are closely collaborating on managing InterChain contracts. Whitelisting Ark’s wallets will improve efficiency and allow for the deployment of additional NFT utilities.
Security Measures
- Proxy Contracts
- Protective layers during transfers
- Whitelisting Mechanisms
- Ensure only legitimate collections and channels participate
- Rate Limiters and Emergency Protocols
- Enhance operational security and reliability
- Audited Contracts
