NFT ownership challenge

📘

Full code example

This is an example of it hooked into the profile image

https://github.com/lens-protocol/api-examples/blob/master/src/profile/set-profile-image-uri-nft.ts

🚧

This request is protected by authentication

hint: this means it requires an x-access-token header put in the request with your authentication token.

This endpoint allows you to sign some text to prove you own an NFT. This is then used in setting your profile picture to an NFT image which then gets brought back on the Profile entity.

This endpoint goes hand in hand with Set profile image URI.

API details

Note: the challenge will last 20 minutes if it expires you will need to generate a new challenge.

🚧

Note when using this for Set profile image URI..

As this is a generic API challenge for NFTs to make sure people do not get confused if you are using this to set a user's profile picture to the NFT then you must only pass in one NFT in the array. If you pass in more than one when you come to calling createSetProfileImageURITypedData it will throw.

Request

let's dig into the request a little more so its clear what is going on here

for - required

The wallet address which owns the NFTs.

Even though this is an authenticated endpoint you could own this NFT on a different wallet and want to sign it through your ledger etc.

nfts - required

You can pass in an array of NFTs to verify ownership, but for now, the API does not allow you to just prove generic ownership to flex. The API only support setting your profile picture with your NFTs. A generic way of just proving ownership to flex NFT will be coming to the API soon. So for now most people will only be passing in 1 item here but the request was written to handle the other cases without a schema change. This endpoint was written to be used in a few places once we extend.

contract - required

The contract address and chain id of the NFT you want to prove ownership of.

The chain id it is on.

  • If you are using testnet this endpoint will only allow you to pass in chainId ethereum kovan (chainId: 42) or polygon Mumbai (chainId: 80001)
  • If you are using mainnet this endpoint will only allow you to pass in ethereum mainnet (chainId: 1) or polygon mainnet (chainId: 137)

tokenId - required

The tokenId you own of this NFT.

Using LensClient SDK

Example use.

const result = await lensClient.nfts.ownershipChallenge({
 for: "0xdfd7D26fd33473F475b57556118F8251464a24eb",
 nfts: [
   {
     contract: { address: "0x54439D4908A3E19356F876aa6022D67d0b3B12d6", chainId: 1 },
     tokenId: "5742",
   }
 ]
});
