️Access Token System
Architecture of the time-limited access token system – An innovative solution for secure NFT lending without asset transfer.
❌ The Problem
Traditional NFT lending models require the transfer of valuable assets to other wallets or escrow contracts, exposing owners to significant risks: theft, phishing, smart contract bugs.
✅ The Solution
Time-limited access WITHOUT asset transfer. The original NFT remains safely in the owner's wallet. Instead, a temporary, non-transferable access token is generated, which automatically becomes invalid upon expiration.
🏗️ System Architecture
🖼️ Original NFT
The primary asset (ERC-721/1155) remains safely in the owner's wallet throughout the entire process and is never transferred.
🔑 Access Token
Newly minted, non-transferable ERC-1155 token as a time-limited digital "key" for the borrower.
📜 Smart Contract
Decentralized logic unit (~60 lines of Solidity) for minting, expiration date management, and access rules. Minimal attack surface.
🌐 Platform (API)
Off-chain infrastructure checks token status via smart contract and grants/denies access based on the on-chain truth.
💻 Technical Implementation
Token Standard: ERC-1155
Different tokenIds represent different access durations:
| Token ID | Duration | Designation |
|---|---|---|
1 |
24 Hours | ACCESS-24H |
2 |
48 Hours | ACCESS-48H |
3 |
168 Hours | ACCESS-7D (1 Week) |
4 |
720 Hours | ACCESS-30D (1 Month) |
Storing Expiration Dates
Simple, effective mapping variable in Solidity:
Links the borrower's wallet address directly to a Unix timestamp of expiration.
As a public variable, it's cost-effectively readable by external services.
Minting Function
Calculation of expiration date during token generation:
block.timestamp + duration in seconds = precise future expiration time.
Access Verification
Validation through simple on-chain query:
✅ true = Access active
❌ false = Access expired
🛡️ Security Features
🔒 No Asset Transfer
The main NFT remains in the owner's wallet. Eliminates risk of loss through phishing, malicious contracts, or platform compromise.
⛔ Non-Transferable
Access tokens are locked at the smart contract level. Prevents speculative secondary markets and abusive resale.
⏰ Auto-Expiration
Access expires deterministically and automatically. No manual action required.
Optional burn() function for token removal.
🎯 Minimal Attack Surface
~60 lines of Solidity code. Reduced complexity minimizes bugs, exploits, and logical errors. Easily auditable.
👤 User Journeys
Borrower
1. Make Request
User initiates request and shares wallet address with NFT owner
2. Waiting Phase
"Pending Access" status until approval by owner
3. Receive Access
Access token is minted, access activated, countdown timer starts
4. Expiration
Automatic revocation after time expires, "Access expired" status
Owner
1. Initiate Lending
Enter borrower's address + select duration (24h/48h/168h/720h)
2. Confirm Transaction
Wallet signature for very low gas cost transaction
3. Success Confirmation
History view with details (borrower address, duration, expiration time), option for manual revocation
💰 Economic Model & Value Creation
Automated Revenue Distribution
Example: Borrower pays 10 USDC for 24h access
Rental Income
Valuation Model 1: Use-Value NFT (Airdrop)
When NFTs are distributed via airdrop, value emerges from earning potential:
= Shadow Price (implicit market price)
Advantage: Value through utility rather than speculation, community economy without selling pressure
Valuation Model 2: Primary Sale & Market
For primary sales, annual income serves as fundamental "Intrinsic Value Floor":
P/E Ratio for Utility NFTs: 1x - 3x
Advanced models: Perpetuity capitalization, Net Present Value (NPV)
🎯 Strategic Advantages
| Advantage | Strategic Significance |
|---|---|
| 🛡️ No Risk for Owners | Maximum trust, low entry barrier, higher participation and liquidity |
| ⚡ Extremely Low Gas Costs | Cost efficiency, scalability, even short-term lending economically viable |
| 🔌 Plug & Play Integration | Rapid implementation into existing platforms, minimal technical effort |
| 🎛️ Flexible Duration | Various access models, flexible pricing strategies for different user needs |
