CIP-88 Extension: CIP-48 | Metadata References Standard

Version: 1

CIP-48 has been proposed to extend on-chain metadata formats to support "references" which could be:

1. Shared/Repeated pieces of content
2. Pointers or References to other on-chain information

CIP-88 could help support the definition and standardization of the reference definitions at a top-level, allowing references declared within individual token metadata to be easily identified and replaced.

Top Level Fields

index	name	type	required	notes
0	Version	UInt	No	Default "1", which version of this specification is in use
1	Reference Details	Object	Yes	An object detailing CIP-48 references in use

Reference Details Fields

index	name	type	required	notes
1	References	Array<Reference>	No	An array of References

Reference Fields

index	name	type	required	notes
0	Name	String	Yes	A case sensitive path identifier for this reference
1	Type	Enum	Yes	An enum of accepted types of references which may include direct payloads or pointers to other sources of information
2	Payload	Object	Yes	A "Reference Payload" object containing the information to be substituted in place of the reference
