EIP-DRAFT: Collateralized Trade Deal Standard for Invoice Financing

Simple Summary

A standardized interface for creating and managing collateralized trade deals that enable invoice financing through tokenized collateral, interest distribution, and automated repayment mechanisms.

Abstract

This EIP proposes a comprehensive standard for trade deals that enables: - Creation of collateralized financing arrangements using invoice NFTs - Tokenized collateral and interest distribution systems - Multi-party funding with proportional token distribution - Automated interest calculations and distributions - Identity-based participation controls with claim requirements - Multiple operation modes for different financing scenarios

Motivation

Traditional invoice financing lacks transparency, standardization, and programmable automation. This standard addresses these limitations by providing a decentralized, transparent, and automated system for invoice financing that can be implemented across different platforms while maintaining interoperability.

Key Features

1. Collateralized Financing

  • Invoice NFTs as Collateral: Use tokenized invoices as collateral for financing
  • Proportional Token Distribution: Distribute collateral tokens based on funding contributions
  • Automated Collateral Management: Handle collateral deposits and withdrawals

2. Multi-Token System

  • Collateral Tokens: Represent funding contributions and ownership stakes
  • Interest Tokens: Represent earned interest and distribution rights
  • USDC Integration: Standardized stablecoin for funding and repayments

3. Interest Distribution

  • Automated Calculations: Calculate interest based on configurable rates
  • Proportional Distribution: Distribute interest based on token holdings
  • Dual Distribution: Split between invoice pool and interest token holders

4. Identity-Based Access Control

  • Claim Requirements: Require specific identity claims for participation
  • Trusted Issuer Validation: Verify claims through trusted issuer system
  • Flexible Access Control: Configure different requirements per trade deal

Operation Modes

The standard supports multiple operation modes:

  1. STANDARD: Basic invoice financing with standard terms
  2. ADVANCED: Enhanced features with complex interest structures
  3. CUSTOM: Fully customizable parameters for specialized use cases

Funding Lifecycle

// 1. Create Trade Deal
uint256 tradeDealId = createTradeDeal("Invoice Deal #1", "ID1", 500, 10000, claimTopics, collateralToken, interestToken, usdcToken, OperationMode.STANDARD);

// 2. Deposit Invoices as Collateral
tdDepositInvoice(tradeDealId, invoiceTokenId);

// 3. Fund the Deal
tdDepositUSDC(tradeDealId, fundingAmount);

// 4. Withdraw Funding (when fully funded)
withdrawTradeDealFundingForBorrower(tradeDealId, borrowerAddress);

// 5. Distribute Interest (periodically)
tdDistributeInterest(tradeDealId);

// 6. Repay the Deal
repayTradeDeal(tradeDealId, repaymentAmount);

// 7. Redeem Collateral Tokens
redeemCollateralTokens(tradeDealId, collateralAmount);

Rationale

Tokenized Collateral System

Using ERC20 tokens to represent collateral ownership enables fractional ownership, transferability, and automated distribution mechanisms.

Interest Rate in Basis Points

Using basis points (1/100th of a percent) provides sufficient precision for interest calculations while remaining human-readable.

Identity Integration

Integration with ERC734/ERC735 identity standards enables compliance with regulatory requirements and sophisticated access control.

Multi-Mode Operation

Different operation modes allow the standard to accommodate various financing scenarios while maintaining a consistent interface.

Implementation Details

Interest Calculation

function calculateInterest(uint256 principal, uint256 rate, uint256 timeElapsed) internal pure returns (uint256) {
    // rate is in basis points (100 = 1%)
    // timeElapsed is in seconds
    // Returns interest for the time period
    return (principal * rate * timeElapsed) / (10000 * 365 days);
}

Collateral Token Distribution

function distributeCollateralTokens(uint256 tradeDealId, address recipient, uint256 usdcAmount) internal {
    TradeDeal storage deal = tradeDeals[tradeDealId];
    uint256 collateralAmount = usdcAmount; // 1:1 ratio, can be customized

    IERC20Mint(deal.collateralAddress).mintTo(recipient, collateralAmount);
    emit CollateralTokensDistributed(tradeDealId, recipient, collateralAmount);
}

Security Considerations

  1. Access Control: Proper validation of participant eligibility and claim requirements
  2. Integer Overflow: Use SafeMath or Solidity 0.8+ overflow protection
  3. Reentrancy Protection: Guard against reentrancy attacks in funding operations
  4. Interest Calculation: Prevent manipulation of interest calculations
  5. Collateral Management: Secure handling of collateral deposits and withdrawals

Gas Optimization

  • Batch operations for multiple participants
  • Efficient storage patterns for trade deal data
  • Optimized interest calculation algorithms
  • Minimal external calls during operations

Backwards Compatibility

This standard is designed to work with existing ERC20, ERC721, and identity standard implementations.
