## Abstract

The EIP is a Redeemable NFT extension which adds a `redeem` function to [EIP-721](./eip-721.md). It can be implemented when an NFT issuer wants his/her NFT to be redeemed for a physical object.

## Motivation

An increasing amount of NFT issuers such as artists, fine art galeries, auction houses, brands and others want to offer a physical object to the holder of a given NFT. This standard allows EIP-721 NFTs to signal reedemability.

## Specification

_The key words “MUST”, “MUST NOT”, “REQUIRED”, “SHALL”, “SHALL NOT”, “SHOULD”, “SHOULD NOT”, “RECOMMENDED”, “MAY”, and “OPTIONAL” in this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119._

`EIP-721` compliant contracts MAY implement this EIP to provide a standard method of receiving information on redeemability.

The NFT issuer **MUST** decide who is allowed to redeem the NFT, and restrict access to the `redeem()` function accordingly.

Anyone **MAY** access the `isRedeemable()` function to check the redeemability status: it returns `true` when the NFT redeemable, and `false` when already redeemed.

Third-party services that support this standard **MAY** use the `Redeem` event to listen to changes on the redeemable status of the NFT.

Implementers of this standard **MUST** have all of the following functions:

```solidity
import '@openzeppelin/contracts/utils/introspection/ERC165.sol';

/**
 * @dev Implementation of Redeemable for ERC-721s
 *
 */

interface IRedeemable is ERC165 {
	/*
	 * ERC165 bytes to add to interface array - set in parent contract implementing this standard
	 *
	 * bytes4 private constant _INTERFACE_ID_ERC721REDEEM = 0x2f8ca953;
	 */
	 
	/// @dev This event emits when a token is redeemed.
	event Redeem(address indexed from, uint256 indexed tokenId);
	 
	/// @notice Returns the redeem status of a token
	/// @param tokenId Identifier of the token.
	function isRedeemable(uint256 _tokenId) external view returns (bool);

	/// @notice Redeeem a token
	/// @param tokenId Identifier of the token to redeeem
	function redeem(uint256 _tokenId) external;
}
```

The `Redeem` event is emitted when the `redeem()` function is called.

The `supportsInterface` method **MUST** return `true` when called with `0x2f8ca953`.

## Rationale

When the NFT contract is deployed, the `isRedeemable()` function returns `true` by default.

By default, the `redeem()` function visibility is public, so anyone can trigger it. It is **RECOMMENDED** to add a `require` to restrict the access:

```solidity
require(ownerOf(tokenId) == msg.sender, "ERC721Redeemable: You are not the owner of this token");
```

After the `redeem()` function is triggered, `isRedeemable()` function returns `false`.

### `Redeem` event

When the `redeem()` function is triggered, the following event **MUST** be emitted:

```solidity
event Redeem(address indexed from, uint256 indexed tokenId);
```

## Backwards Compatibility

This standard is compatible with EIP-721.

## Reference Implementation

Here's an example of an EIP-721 that includes the Redeemable extension:

```solidity
contract ERC721Redeemable is ERC721, Redeemable {

	constructor(string memory name, string memory symbol) ERC721(name, symbol) {
	}

	function isRedeemable(uint256 tokenId) public view virtual override returns (bool) {
		require(_exists(tokenId), "ERC721Redeemable: Redeem query for nonexistent token");
		return super.isRedeemable(tokenId);
	}

	function redeem(uint256 tokenId) public virtual override {
		require(_exists(tokenId), "ERC721Redeemable: Redeem query for nonexistent token");
		require(ownerOf(tokenId) == msg.sender, "ERC721Redeemable: You are not the owner of this token");
		super.redeem(tokenId);
	}

	function supportsInterface(bytes4 interfaceId) public view override(ERC721, Redeemable) returns (bool) {
		return super.supportsInterface(interfaceId);
	}
}
```
