Hello everyone I started this side-quest for my project https://forum.dfinity.org/t/xfusion-many-tokens-one-trade/55977 but it seems like there is far more demand to implement something similar for IC ecosystem. Introducing.. MTLS: Multi-Token Ledger Standard Abstract MTLS (Multi-Token Ledger Sta…

Do you have any public code for this standard? I think Dfinity should take action treat this as a serious standard, the atomic transactions is need for DEFI protocol

@infu what do you think about this?

I’ve raised the question 2y ago ICRC-1 multiple token ledgers inside one canister @mariop came with a good idea - You don’t need to make another standard. Candid supports adding new fields to icrc1. Just don’t think of it like you are creating a new standard it will make it harder to understand, bu…

[image] infu: mtls1_multi_transfer - there is already icrc4 batch. I think there is a huge difference on this, as icrc4 is specifically targeting a single token (ledger) and you cannot transfer different tokens using by implementing icrc4. independent of that I am curious if you are aware of…

It’s a good argument, but I don’t think just adding token_id to ICRC-1 methods is a small change. Once you introduce token_id: Balances, allowances, and fees all need per-token namespaces Transaction logs and archives must include token_id and handle per-token partitioning Batches become cross-to…

[image] marc0olo: icrc4 is specifically targeting a single token Yes, I was talking about the multi transfer capability of the proposed mtls1_multi_transfer. icrc4 (dont think anyone has implemented it) but the idea is the same - pass array of transfers that get executed inside one call, inst…

[image] infu: He could just set Odin.Fun canister as minter for hundreds of external ledger canisters instead of trying to put a multi ledger inside the same canister. In fact he can make another canister to handle that while reading the Odin.Fun log. Wouldn’t that be Unnecessarily costly C…

[image] infu: [image] marc0olo: @bob11 mentioned that this would have been valuable for him on Odin.Fun He could just set Odin.Fun canister as minter for hundreds of external ledger canisters instead of trying to put a multi ledger inside the same canister. In fact he can make another can…

[image] LevanIlashvili: every single pump.fun token into IC ecosystem Well, if you bring them in a single canister, the transaction fees you need to charge so your canister doesn’t get flooded and stops working will be something like 20$ per tx.

also tagging @timo here in case he wants to jump in. he worked on a HPL (“high performance ledger”) in the past, which also aimed to support multiple tokens: Announcement: HPL - a ledger for 10k tps
