Create Digital Passport

Introduction

The minting feature allows a wallet to create an NFT as a digital passport on the blockchain. Each digital passport belongs to its proper owner and is stored in the wallet.

📌

The issuer of an NFT is its first owner.

Workflow

Your wallet initiated the creation request. The issuer of a digital passport is also its first owner. Since a digital passport including content makes more sense, multiple pieces of information can be specified when creating a digital passport.

Digital passport content may include names, descriptions, serial numbers, pictures, videos, links, information on a supply chain, certifications, and so on. To integrate this content, you need a file that is compliant with the NFT Schema.

Once created and minted, the imprint of the digital passport and the transaction details relating to the creation can be seen on the blockchain. Each minted NFT has a unique identification number recorded on the blockchain.

The full workflow to create digital passports and pair them to physical products with the identification technology chosen depends on the product type as well as the manufacturing and distribution processes used by the issuer of the digital passports.

⚠️

Fees

Minting or reserving a digital passport is free for validated sponsored identity.

However, when a user requests the ownership of an NFT, the stable price in fiat currency is 0.1 USD payable only in $ARIA20 by the issuer.

Extra fees may apply if the NFT issuer outsources the digital passport creation to a third party or uses an external software.

Extra features

• Reserve NFTs: Depending on your process and use case, you may want to reserve specific digital passport IDs. In that case, 1 credit is spend per ID reserved and gas when the digital passport is hydrated. For more information, see the related documentation.
• Optional - Recover: In the lifecycle of your digital passports, tokens will be claimed by your customers or community. These claimed digital passports may be recovered by the issuer (e.g. the physical product has been stolen). Once recovered, the given digital passport can be destroyed by this issuer. For more information, see the related documentation.
  For more flexibility, as a builder, you can decide enable or disable the recover depending on your use case requirement.

Identification & Pairing

You might want to share content with customers or transfer ownership. These use cases require the ability to read a digital passport and transfer it.

These use cases also require an identification technology to link a product to its digital passport, the NFT. Multiple identification technologies may be used:

• Stand-alone or embedded QR code.
• Stand-alone or embedded NFC.
• Stand-alone or embedded Beacon.
• Stand-alone or embedded PUF.
• Visual fingerprint recognitionLinks (URL) in email, SMS, etc.

Interface

Builders - Digital Passport Creation

The creation can be done using the API integration with Arianee SDK or directly at the blockchain level interacting with smart contracts. The digital passport issuer can develop its interface, outsource the development to a third party, or use an external interface such as the Arianee NFT Management Platform.
