**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** - [PublicReports/Ark Protocol/Ark Protocol - ICS721 - Audit Report v1.0.pdf at main · SCV-Security/PublicReports · GitHub](https://github.com/SCV-Security/PublicReports/blob/main/Ark%20Protocol/Ark%20Protocol%20-%20ICS721%20-%20Audit%20Report%20v1.0.pdf) * * * ### **Developer Wallets to Whitelist** - **Team Wallet** - `osmo19pmppgpqnjkvjp6mx8q2dpuy382g4hhx4sc4xy` - **Mr T (Founder of Ark Protocol)** - `osmo1vtpt9kwjywm3xpake4v8sjmh2uxqq57ha7kstx` - **Tatsen (Co-founder of Ark Protocol)** - `osmo1trghmhd4d9qcf9d0lsyesxzj3aasqg9shl9tfx` * * * ### **Description** **Collaboration with Stargaze** - **Joint Management of InterChain Contracts** - DAO: [DAO DAO](https://daodao.zone/dao/stars1jxxrvydr0l4m7xcunsdhdwnqvj56tpwtvgpd3ftgd9skmc04xfhqmckf59/home) - Contracts managed by both teams **Why Ark Protocol Needs Its Own Whitelist** - **Core Contributor of ICS721 and CW721** - Maintains essential repositories for InterChain NFTs - [Contributors to public-awesome/cw-ics721 · GitHub](https://github.com/public-awesome/cw-ics721/graphs/contributors) - [Contributors to public-awesome/cw-nfts · GitHub](https://github.com/public-awesome/cw-nfts/graphs/contributors) - **Efficient Deployment and Updates** - Faster without relying on Stargaze for uploads - **Additional NFT Utilities** - Minting, buying, selling across all CosmWasm chains - **Independent Support and Maintenance** - Streamlined operations and better support **Mission and Activities** - **Building InterChain Utilities** - Managing contracts on Stargaze, Osmosis, Juno, Terra - **Expansion Plans** - Deploy on all CosmWasm chains: Injective, Neutron, Migaloo and more! - **Recent Approvals** - Ark Whitelist on Injective (Prop 441): [https://hub.injective.network/proposal/441/](https://hub.injective.network/proposal/441/) **View Collections Ready for InterChain Transfers:** - [InterChain Travelling Broadens Your Mind!](https://interchain.arkprotocol.io/profile) * * * ### **Benefits to Osmosis** - **Enhanced NFT Interoperability** - Seamless NFT transfers to and from Osmosis - **Innovation and Growth** - Attract new users, artists, developers - Deploy new NFT utilities and features - **Improved Efficiency** - Faster contract deployment and updates - **Strengthened Collaboration** - Continued close work with Stargaze * * * ### **Existing Approvals** - **Stargaze Whitelist on Osmosis** - Proposal 760: [Mintscan](https://www.mintscan.io/osmosis/proposals/760) - Forum Discussion: [Stargaze Whitelist Address for deployment of Interchain NFT Contracts](https://forum.osmosis.zone/t/stargaze-whitelist-address-for-deployment-of-interchain-nft-contracts/2589) - **Ark Protocol Whitelist on Injective** - Proposal 441 Approved: [https://hub.injective.network/proposal/441/](https://hub.injective.network/proposal/441/) * * * ### **Request to the Community** - **Vote YES** - Whitelist Ark Protocol’s developer wallets - Support efficient deployment of InterChain NFT contracts - Promote growth and innovation on Osmosis - **Vote NO** - Continue existing process: - Creators request Ark for interchain - Ark develops ICS721/CW721 features - Notify Stargaze for uploads - Stargaze informs Ark about new code IDs - Ark provides migration/whitelisting messages and requests Stargaze DAO proposals - Ark handles support and maintenance on all chains - Ark awaits approval and informs creators - **Result:** Slows development and innovation * * * ### **Next Steps** - **Discussion Period** - Welcome community feedback and questions - **Governance Vote** - Proceed to vote after discussion - **Implementation** - Deploy InterChain NFT contracts on Osmosis upon approval * * * **Thank you for your support!** ---

I missed the pre-discussion period, but it is also good to note that weekends are not the busiest periods here 😛 With that being said; is there a downside of managing the ICS721 standard over 2 teams? Does this also mean that NFTs will be able to travel to Injective since you also deployed the contracts there? ---

Please also note all contracts across all chains are managed by 2 DAOs: - admin DAO for contract migrations: [Ark Admin Contracts (SubDao)](https://daodao.zone/dao/neutron1c9p8e7pap9jgedv5h39q00ddjk75rz4exx4w72akh9fpnh06pgwq5art6q) - owner DAO for contract executions: [Ark Owner Contracts (SubDao)](https://daodao.zone/dao/neutron1gherve9yc8th9aum2qrfmk8tghlc52jwl9pvlaa2q6f4rrq4yqequcyu4z) In both DAOs all 5 Ark founders are included. 2 of them - including me are publicly doxxed. Remaining 3 are internally doxxed. And for Stargaze there’s an explicit DAO with 3 members each from both teams: > **[Stargaze/Ark ICS721](https://daodao.zone/dao/stars1jxxrvydr0l4m7xcunsdhdwnqvj56tpwtvgpd3ftgd9skmc04xfhqmckf59)** > > A DAO based on stars1a7esxnnl5cgv3j93g9flz7rkqtsqd9mgz78fvw (a multisig on Stargaze) for managing ICS721 deployment ---

No, no downside at all. It’s even good having 2 teams, e.g. as backup, managing InterChain NFT contracts (aka “ics721”) - since it is mission critical and we need make sure to support, protect the NFT community as much as possible! And YES: NFTs will be able to transfer to Injective very soon. On the way forward, we will add even more chains! We’ve learned our lessons from UST depeg. That was the time and reasoning why Ark Protocol was founded! The MORE chains we enable and NFTs could possibly transfer to, the LESS risks there will be for the NFT community. Bottom line: Ark’s here for protecting the NFT community! Thanks for your input, mate 🙏!
