Purpose

The Protocol Asset Handler Diamond serves as the access point to the protocol for a protocol supported asset. The protocol supported asset stores the Handler Diamond proxy address and uses it to call the check all rules function. The Handler Diamond stores all asset level rule data, rule activation status’, and connects the token to the App Manager for role based access control. Asset level rules are set by Rule administrators. When setting a rule status in the Handler, the protocol supplied rule ID and the action type are required for the set-rule function. The Handler Diamond stores each action type and rule together within the Rule Storage Facet. Each Protocol supported asset type (ERC20, ERC721, etc) will need one handler diamond deployed and connected to the asset. The Handler diamond architecture will remain the same for each asset type. The asset handler diamond will consist of a proxy contract, libraries, storage facets and unique facets for that type. The unique facets for the asset type are found here:

​
Diamond Pattern

The diamond pattern allows the handler to upgrade, add new features and improvements through the use of a proxy contract. New facet contracts can be deployed and connected to the diamond via a specialized function called diamondCut. New facets and functions allow the handler to grow while maintaining address immutability with the proxy contract. Calling contracts will only need to set the address of the diamond proxy at deployment, without having to worry about that address changing over time. The Handler Diamond follows ERC 2535 standards for storage and functions.

​
Common Contracts

Each asset handler diamond will inherit from the following contracts:

​
Handler Base

The Handler Base contract contains functions to propose and confirm a new App Manager address.
Functions
function proposeAppManagerAddress(address _newAppManagerAddress) external appAdministratorOrOwnerOnly(lib.handlerBaseStorage().appManager)

 function confirmAppManagerAddress() external

​
Handler Utils

This contract holds utility functions for the handler diamond. The first is to determine the action type of the transaction. The second is to determine if an address in the transaction is a contract or externally owned account.
Functions
function determineTransferAction(address _from, address _to, address _sender) internal view returns (ActionTypes action)

function isContract(address account) internal view returns (bool)

​
Handler Diamond Lib

The Handler Diamond Lib follows ERC 2535 standards for storage and functions.

​
Rule Storage

This contract holds the storage structs for each rule able to be set at the asset level.

​
Storage Lib

This contract holds storage functions called when setting a rule in the handler diamond.

​
TradingRulesFacet

This contract contains the function to check all trading rules that are active in the handler diamond.
Functions
function checkTradingRules(address _from, address _to, bytes32[] memory fromTags, bytes32[] memory toTags, uint256 _amount, ActionTypes action)
