Proposal 2: Open Sui SBT Issuance to Bookie Holders

Status: Active
Type: Infrastructure Access Grant

Summary

This proposal grants qualifying Bookie holders on Sui permissionless access to issue SBTs directly through TBook infrastructure.

Holders who meet the continuous holding requirement at the time of snapshot will be able to deploy and distribute credentials without requiring separate approval or partnership processes.

The proposal is intended to expand participation in the ecosystem by allowing community members to operate as credential issuers and infrastructure participants, rather than remaining limited to passive ownership.

What is SBT Issuance?

SBT issuance refers to the ability to create and distribute on-chain credentials using TBook infrastructure.

Once qualified, holders can:

  • Create custom credential types;

  • Deploy SBT claim pages;

  • Distribute SBTs to users;

  • Receive protocol-defined incentive shares from SBT mint activity.

Infrastructure Access

Qualifying holders receive access to the following infrastructure components:

Sui SBT smart contracts

Access to the SBT contracts used within the TBook SBT system on Sui.

Credential Templates

A library of 35+ preconfigured credential types for common use cases, including contributor badges, attendance credentials, membership records, achievement certifications, and participation proofs.

Claim Page Builder

Set up branded claim experiences in minutes.

Real-time mint feed

Track credential issuance, holder analytics, and revenue in real time

Reputation and Identity Infrastructure

Support for portable credential systems, reputation accumulation, and credential verification across applications integrated with the TBook ecosystem.

Cross-Application Credential Recognition

Credentials issued through the infrastructure can be recognized by applications and systems participating in the broader TBook ecosystem.

What Changes on Execution

After proposal execution, qualifying Bookie holders will be able to issue SBTs directly through the protocol infrastructure.

The proposal expands infrastructure access from a limited operational model toward a broader permissionless issuance model.

Participation Model

Before: Bookie holders participate primarily through governance and protocol-level incentive mechanisms.

After: Qualifying holders may also participate as credential issuers by deploying credentials, managing claim flows, and generating mint activity through their own use cases and communities.

Requirements

The 15-Day Rule

Bookies NFTs must remain continuously held in the same wallet on Sui for at least 15 days at the time of snapshot.

Any transfer resets the holding period, including transfers between wallets controlled by the same user.

Multi-Holder Advantage

Issuance eligibility is granted at the wallet level.

Additional qualifying NFTs may increase the issuer’s maximum eligible revenue share within the protocol-defined fee structure.

Incentive Model

Mint Fees

Users minting an issued credential pay a protocol-defined claim fee.

The fee is standardized at the protocol level to maintain consistency across issuers and reduce pricing fragmentation.

Issuer Incentive Structure

Issuers receive a percentage of mint fees based on the number of qualifying Bookies NFTs held, subject to a maximum cap.

Illustrative structure:

  • 1 qualifying NFT → Base issuer share;

  • 2 qualifying NFTs → Increased share;

  • 3–6 qualifying NFTs → Higher share tiers up to protocol cap.

Final percentages and operational details will be defined in governance documentation and smart contract implementation.

Examples

Scenario 1: Single NFT Holder

  • You hold 5 qualifying NFTs

  • You deploy a “Contributor” SBT

  • 100 users mint your badge at 1.5 SUI per mint = 150 SUI volume

  • Your revenue share: 18% = 27 SUI earned

The more valuable and widely-adopted your SBT, the more you earn.

Use Cases: What You Can Build

1 Community Credentials

Deploy badges for your Discord, Telegram, or Twitter community. Reward active contributors, early members, or top engagers with on-chain credentials that unlock perks or voting power.

Example: “OG Member” badge for users who joined before a milestone, granting governance weight in community decisions.

2 Event Attendance Tokens

Issue SBTs for conferences, meetups, AMAs, or webinars. Attendees gain verifiable proof of participation, and you earn from every mint.

Example: “ETHDenver 2026 Attendee” credential, verifiable for future event access.

3 Skill Certifications

Create credentials for courses, workshops, or training programs. Learners mint certificates upon completion, building verifiable skill portfolios.

Example: “Smart Contract Security 101” certification, recognized by employers and protocols.

4 Loyalty & Incentive Programs

Build tiered membership systems where users accumulate credentials over time, unlocking benefits as they progress.

Example: Bronze → Silver → Gold tiers in a DeFi protocol, each tier granting higher yields or exclusive features.

5 Cross-App Identity

Issue credentials that other apps can query and trust, enabling seamless reputation portability across the ecosystem.

Example: “Verified Human” credential used by 10 different dApps to gate features or airdrops.

How to Get Started

Step 1: Qualify

Hold your Bookies NFT on Sui continuously for 15 days before the snapshot. Do not transfer.

Step 2: Access Infrastructure (Post-Execution)

After the proposal executes, navigate to sui.tbook.com and connect your wallet. Your access is automatic.

Step 3: Deploy Your First SBT

  • Define your SBT information, including Name, description, and image.

  • Choose credentials from the templates. You can add several credentials as a group.

  • Publish on-chain

  • Share your claim link

Step 4: Earn

Every mint generates incentives to your wallet automatically. Track performance in the real-time analytics dashboard.

Why This Matters

For Holders

You’re no longer passive participants. You can build on TBook’s infrastructure, deploy credentials that solve real problems, and earn from the value you create.

This proposal turns your NFT into an infrastructure license, not just a collectible.

For the Protocol

Opening issuance access to the community accelerates adoption. Instead of TBook manually onboarding every issuer, the community itself expands the credential ecosystem — organically and permissionlessly.

More issuers = more credentials = more use cases = more mints = more protocol growth.

For the Ecosystem

User-generated credentials create network effects. Every new issuer brings their audience, use case, and distribution — growing the total addressable market for TBook’s identity layer.

Builders attract builders. This is how ecosystems scale.

Long-Term Vision

This proposal is the foundation for a permissionless credential economy. As the system matures, expect:

  • Composable credentials — stack multiple SBTs to unlock compound benefits

  • Cross-chain expansion — issue credentials on additional chains beyond Sui

  • DAO-governed credential standards — community votes on new templates and requirements

Each evolution will be proposed, debated, and executed through the same transparent governance process.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What happens if I transfer my NFT before the snapshot?
A: Your holding period resets to zero. You will not gain issuance access.

Q: Can I issue credentials on multiple chains?
A: Initially, issuance is Sui-only. Cross-chain expansion will be proposed separately.

Q: Do I keep access if I sell my NFT later?
A: Access is tied to holding at snapshot + ongoing protocol participation. Details on revocation conditions TBD in documentation.

Q: How do I set the mint fee for my credentials?
A: The protocol sets a fixed mint fee to ensure consistency. You earn a percentage, not control pricing.

Q: What if no one mints my credential?
A: Infrastructure access is free; you only earn when users mint. Experiment with different credential types and promotion strategies.

Q: Can I collaborate with other issuers?
A: Yes. Co-issuance and credential stacking are supported by the infrastructure.
