Source, repository, and what is actually hosted

  • ERC 3475https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-3475
  • The source URL is not a GitHub repository. No code remote is invented.
  • Full text is not mirrored. Public availability is not a licence to copy the file onto this site.

01 Claim ledger

What the paper is allowed to say

Each row is a sentence already in the study. The status is the same on every row: a model claim, not a live measurement.

  1. Claim 01 · Paper model

    The rule

    The creation of tokenized obligations with abstract on-chain metadata storage.

  2. Claim 02 · Paper model

    What was already failing

    An underpriced or ambiguous EVM rule is not a feature. It is a block that takes longer than the gas limit claimed, or a client that disagrees about the result.

  3. Claim 03 · Paper model

    What the number does not mean

    The source marks this final. That is a statement about the text, not a promise that every wallet or node has shipped it.

  4. Claim 04 · Paper model

    What a builder should be able to point at

    An implementation either constrains Abstract Storage Bonds or it is a different design.

02 Three cuts

Observation, model, falsifier

A desk does not stop at the summary. Each claim is cut three ways, using only this study's own assumptions and checks. Nothing here is a new figure.

  1. 01 The rule

    Observation

    What the study says

    The creation of tokenized obligations with abstract on-chain metadata storage.

    Model

    What has to hold

    The object that has to change is Abstract Storage Bonds. A neighbouring document with a similar name is not this one.

    Falsifier

    What would retire it

    What does Abstract Storage Bonds charge, reject, or redefine on the first touch versus a later one?

  2. 02 What was already failing

    Observation

    What the study says

    An underpriced or ambiguous EVM rule is not a feature. It is a block that takes longer than the gas limit claimed, or a client that disagrees about the result.

    Model

    What has to hold

    The object that has to change is Abstract Storage Bonds. A neighbouring document with a similar name is not this one.

    Falsifier

    What would retire it

    Can you point at the object in a client: Abstract Storage Bonds?

  3. 03 What the number does not mean

    Observation

    What the study says

    The source marks this final. That is a statement about the text, not a promise that every wallet or node has shipped it.

    Model

    What has to hold

    You are implementing ERC 3475 at the status the text itself states: Final.

    Falsifier

    What would retire it

    Can you point at the object in a client: Abstract Storage Bonds?

  4. 04 What a builder should be able to point at

    Observation

    What the study says

    An implementation either constrains Abstract Storage Bonds or it is a different design.

    Model

    What has to hold

    The object that has to change is Abstract Storage Bonds. A neighbouring document with a similar name is not this one.

    Falsifier

    What would retire it

    Can you point at the object in a client: Abstract Storage Bonds?

03 Sequence

One action, as an operating tape

  1. 01Open ERC 3475 and read the status line before the examples.
  2. 02Write down the rule in one sentence. A fair version of that sentence is: The creation of tokenized obligations with abstract on-chain metadata storage.
  3. 03Name the object that changes: Abstract Storage Bonds.
  4. 04Ask what an old client, an old contract, or an offline counterparty does. If the document is silent, the silence is part of the design.

04 Load-bearing

The argument, and where a pitch drops it

  1. What the text is allowed to settle

    The cut

    Ethereum Request for Comment 3475 can settle the shape of Abstract Storage Bonds. It cannot settle whether a later client, a later fork, or a later wallet still does this.

    Why it carries weight

    If this cut is skipped, the paper's name is being used without the mechanism that makes the name mean anything.

    Where it is dropped

    Constants in the text can be superseded by a later fork. Cite the EIP number and the fork you mean.

  2. What this page will not pretend

    The cut

    There is no benchmark, no adoption number, and no claim that the mechanism is safe outside the assumptions written in the source.

    Why it carries weight

    If this cut is skipped, the paper's name is being used without the mechanism that makes the name mean anything.

    Where it is dropped

    A gas or opcode change is not a throughput benchmark. It is a relative price and a validity rule.

05 Register

What has to be true

  • Model · Not re-measured

    You are implementing ERC 3475 at the status the text itself states: Final.

  • Model · Not re-measured

    The object that has to change is Abstract Storage Bonds. A neighbouring document with a similar name is not this one.

  • Model · Not re-measured

    Constants in the text can be superseded by a later fork. Cite the EIP number and the fork you mean.

06 Divergence

What happened after the paper

The source marks this final. That is a statement about the text, not a promise that every wallet or node has shipped it. Later documents can narrow, replace, or ignore this one. Cite the number you mean.

A later client, parameter set, or reward formula is a different object. Cite this paper for the mechanism. Cite a primary release for the network. This desk has not re-run the proof.

07 Pre-mortem

What to check before you use the idea

  4. 0 of 3 marked on this browser. A mark is a reading note, not a pass, a rating, or a recommendation.

08 Anatomy

The paper, in the order a builder needs

The problem it names

An underpriced or ambiguous EVM rule is not a feature. It is a block that takes longer than the gas limit claimed, or a client that disagrees about the result.

What the design proposes

  • The creation of tokenized obligations with abstract on-chain metadata storage.
  • Issuing bonds with multiple redemption data cannot be achieved with existing token standards.
  • This EIP enables each bond class ID to represent a new configurable token type and corresponding to each class, corresponding bond nonces to represent an issuing condition or any other form of data in uint256.

How the mechanism is specified

  • Taken from the specification, the next constraint is: Issuing bonds with multiple redemption data cannot be achieved with existing token standards.
  • Locate Abstract Storage Bonds in ERC 3475 and apply it to one transaction or call.
  • Then check the failure the class of rule always has: a node that did not upgrade, a reverted call, a replayed signature, or a peer that does not speak the message.

What this page does not treat as proven

  • A gas or opcode change is not a throughput benchmark. It is a relative price and a validity rule.
  • Constants in the text can be superseded by a later fork. Cite the EIP number and the fork you mean.
  • The source marks this final. That is a statement about the text, not a promise that every wallet or node has shipped it.

Why the desk still reads it

Use ERC 3475 when a pitch says 'Abstract Storage Bonds' without saying whether the rule is consensus, policy, or an interface. The number is the citation. The pitch is not.
