We have built a protocol that enables users to create and trade ERC20 Token Baskets entirely through smart contracts. A Token basket is a group of ERC20 Tokens bundled together, for example this could be 10GNT+ 10GNO+ 10WAND. This basket is created by a user who owns the above Tokens, and wants to manage the basket on a smart contract. Creation of a Basket means that the user now holds the ownership of the smart contract that contains these Tokens.
Architecture to create and trade in ERC20 Token Baskets.
As a second step, the user can now post this Basket for trade by quoting an ask price for the Basket. This ask price is quoted on the smart contract; for example if the user quotes 0.2ETH for this Basket, then any address from any wallet that sends 0.2ETH to this Basket gains ownership of the Token basket. This enables a truly decentralized way of creating and trading in ERC20 Token baskets. The order book is now only a list of smart contract addresses, Tokens, ask prices. Each order is a smart contract and is owned by the user who places the order. This “order book” can be hosted anywhere, and orders can be executed from any wallet.
These Token baskets can be integrated into any exchange or wallet that allows signing with a users’ private key (Metamask, Mist, MEW, Ledger). These Token basket orders can be executed by any wallet or exchange. The first few transactions with the WandX Basket protocol were done here:
