Utils

Many utility and convenience functions are defined in utils.ts

The utility functions can roughly be split into 3 categories:

• Type Constructors
• Hash Utilities
• EIP-712 Utilities

Type Constructors

There are a number of Types that are necessary to interact with a Zora instance. The type constructors accept input, perform basic validation on the input, and return the properly formatted Zora Type.

constructMediaData

• Accepts the arguments for constructing MediaData type.
• Validates that the URIs begins with https://.
• Validates that the hashes are exactly 32 bytes in length.

Name	Type	Description
tokenURI	string	The uri where the media's content can be accessed
metadataURI	string	The uri where the media's metadata can be accessed
contentHash	BytesLike	The sha256 hash of the media's content
metadataHash	BytesLike	The sha256 hash of the media's metadata

const contentHash = await sha256FromBuffer(Buffer.from('some content'))
const metadataHash = await sha256FromBuffer(Buffer.from('some metadata'))

const mediaData = constructMediaData(
  'https://token.com',
  'https://metadata.com',
  contentHash,
  metadataHash
)

constructAsk

• Parses and Validates the currency address to ensure its a valid Ethereum Address

Name	Type	Description
currency	string	The currency address of the Ask
amount	BigNumberish	The amount of the Ask in the currency's atomic units

const dai = '0x6B175474E89094C44Da98b954EedeAC495271d0F'
const decimal100 = Decimal.new(100)
const ask = constructAsk(dai, decimal100.value)

constructBid

• Parses and Validates the bidder, recipient, and currency addresses.
• Rounds the SellOnShare to 4 decimals of precision

Name	Type	Description
currency	string	The currency address of the Bid
amount	BigNumberish	The amount of the Bid in the currency's atomic units
bidder	string	The address of the Bid's bidder
recipient	string	The address of the Bid's recipient
sellOnShare	number	The sellOnShare of the Bid

const dai = '0x6B175474E89094C44Da98b954EedeAC495271d0F'
const decimal100 = Decimal.new(100)
const bidder = '0xf13090cC20613BF9b5F0b3E6E83CCAdB5Cd0FbD5'
const bid = constructBid(dai, decimal100.value, bidder, bidder, 33.3333)

constructBidShares

• Accepts number args, converts them to ethers BigNumber type with 18 decimals of precision.
• Performs validation that the BigNumber representations sum to 100 in BigNumber form.

Name	Type	Description
creator	number	The creator bidshare for the media
owner	number	The owner bidshare for the media
prevOwner	number	The prevOwner bidshare for the media

const bidShares = constructBidShares(10, 90, 0)

Hashing Utilities

All pieces of media minted on the Zora Protocol must etch a sha56 hash of both its content and metadata onto the blockchain. As such it is important developers interacting with Zora have reliable ways to create and verify hashes of data of all types of sizes.

sha256FromBuffer

Create a sha256 from a Buffer object

Name	Type	Description
buffer	Buffer	The Buffer to be hashed

const buf = await fs.readFile('path/to/file')
const hash = sha256FromBuffer(buf)

const otherBuffer = Buffer.from('someContent')
const otherHash = sha256FromBuffer(otherBuffer)

sha256FromHexString

Create a sha256 hash from a hex string. Hex string must be prefixed with 0x

Name	Type	Description
data	string	The hex encoded data to be hashed

const buf = Buffer.from('someContent')
const hexString = '0x'.concat(buf.toString('hex'))
const hash = sha256FromHexString(hexString)

EIP-712 Utilities

signPermitMessage

Permit was specified as an extension of ERC-20 standard to allow for users to issue approval to accounts without needing ETH.

We have extended it further to be used for the Zora Protocol, so that users can delegate approvals to orther smart contracts to perform actions that approved users can do such as:

• setAsk
• acceptBid
• updateContentURI
• updateMetadataURI
• transfer

For now, the signer must be an ethers Wallet object. But soon we will support any Signer.

Name	Type	Description
owner	Wallet	The owners's wallet
toAddress	string	The address being granted the permit
mediaId	number	The ID of the media
nonce	number	The permitNonce of the owner address
deadline	number	The deadline of the signature to be included in a tx
domain	EIP712Domain	The EIP712Domain for the permit sig

const provider = new JsonRpcProvider()
const [mainWallet, otherWallet] = generatedWallets(provider)
const rinkebyZora = new Zora(mainWallet, 4)
const deadline = Math.floor(new Date().getTime() / 1000) + 60 * 60 * 24 // 24 hours
const domain = rinkebyZora.eip712Domain()
const eipSig = await signPermitMessage(
  mainWallet,
  otherWallet.address,
  0, // mediaId
  0, // nonce
  deadline,
  domain
)

signMintWithSigMessage

We extended EIP-712 to allow for creators to mint without needing ETH. A user can sign a mintWithSig message and use a trusted relayer to relay the transaction and mint on their behalf.

Name	Type	Description
owner	Wallet	The owners's wallet
contentHash	BytesLike	The sha256 hash of the media's content
metadataHash	BytesLike	The sha256 hash of the media's metadata
creatorShareBN	BigNumber	The creator share of the media
nonce	number	The mintWithSigNonce of the owner address
deadline	number	The deadline of the signature to be included in a tx
domain	EIP712Domain	The EIP712Domain for the mintWithSig signature

const provider = new JsonRpcProvider()
const [mainWallet, otherWallet] = generatedWallets(provider)
const rinkebyZora = new Zora(otherWallet, 4)

const contentHash = await sha256FromBuffer(Buffer.from('some content'))
const metadataHash = await sha256FromBuffer(Buffer.from('some metadata'))
const contentURI = 'https://token.com'
const metadataURI = 'https://metadata.com'

const mediaData = constructMediaData(contentURI, metadataURI, contentHash, metadataHash)
const bidShares = constructBidShares(10, 90, 0)
const deadline = Math.floor(new Date().getTime() / 1000) + 60 * 60 * 24 // 24 hours
const domain = rinkebyZora.eip712Domain()
const nonce = await rinkebyZora.fetchMintWithSigNonce(mainWallet.address)
const eipSig = await signMintWithSigMessage(
  mainWallet,
  contentHash,
  metadataHash,
  Decimal.new(10).value,
  nonce.toNumber(),
  deadline,
  domain
)

const domain = rinkebyZora.eip712Domain()

const contentHash = await sha256FromBuffer(Buffer.from('some content'))
const metadataHash = await sha256FromBuffer(Buffer.from('some metadata'))

const eipSig = await signMintWithSigMessage(
  mainWallet,
  contentHash,
  metadataHash,
