ERC-1197 Meta Payments

[kosecki123]

I'm opening this ERC as a means for further discussions.

Simple summary

Standard interface for meta payments

Idea

The idea of payment is included in proposals like #865 or #1077 as well as protocols like Ethereum Alarm Clock (https://github.com/ethereum-alarm-clock/ethereum-alarm-clock) as the reward for execution of the requested task.

All proposals/protocols mentioned above using the representation that usually consists of two parameters:

• token (address) represents the token address
• amount (uint256) represents the amount of asset to be transferred

While this is sufficient to represent the payment (reward) that is compatible with ERC-20 tokens or ETH, it is not general enough to handle other tokens like NFT (#721 and others) or other upcoming assets.

The idea behind this ERC is to create the standard that will allow defining the payments beyond standard tokens and ETH.

The example payments could be:

• identity approve (ERC: Proxy Account #725)
• ownership transfer
• reputation points generation
• tokens mint
• ...
