Transfer Validator V5 Configuration Generator

Generate Foundry scripts or transaction sequences to configure Transfer Validator V5 for a token collection.

Project Setup

Before generating code, check the user’s project is configured:

1. Foundry: foundry.toml must exist. If not: forge init
2. Creator Token Standards: lib/creator-token-standards/ must exist. If not: forge install limitbreakinc/creator-token-standards
3. Remappings: remappings.txt needs @limitbreak/creator-token-standards/=lib/creator-token-standards/. Append if missing – do not overwrite existing entries.
4. Local testing: For local development, use apptoken-dev to bootstrap an Anvil node with all Apptoken protocols at their deterministic addresses – see apptoken-general/references/project-setup.md.

Instructions

1. Parse requirements from $ARGUMENTS – identify what the collection needs (ruleset, whitelisted operators, receiver constraints, account freezing, etc.)

2. Resolve ambiguities before generating – if $ARGUMENTS mentions a collection without its address, operators to whitelist without specifying which protocols/addresses, or a ruleset preference isn’t clear, ask in a single message. If clear, proceed.

3. Determine the configuration steps needed:
   • Ruleset selection (setRulesetOfCollection) – Whitelist (0/4), Vanilla (1), Soulbound (2), Blacklist (3), or custom (255)
   • Global options (GO0-GO3) – disable authorization, no wildcard authorizers, account freezing, default list extension
   • Whitelist options (WLO0-WLO4) – OTC blocking, 7702 delegate OTC, smart wallet OTC, receiver constraints
   • List management – create lists, add/remove accounts or code hashes
   • Account freezing – freeze/unfreeze specific addresses (requires GO2 enabled)

4. Generate a Foundry script that calls the Transfer Validator at 0x721C008fdff27BF06E7E123956E2Fe03B63342e3

5. Explain each configuration choice and its security implications

When to Use This vs Other Skills

• This skill: Configure Transfer Validator – rulesets, operator whitelists, receiver constraints, account freezing. This is the foundation layer for all apptokens.
• lbamm-standard-hook: Configure LBAMM-specific trading behavior (fees, pause, LP whitelists). Use after Transfer Validator is set up.
• payment-processor-creator: Configure NFT sale settings (pricing, royalties, trusted channels). Use after Transfer Validator is set up.

Common Mistakes

• Forgetting to whitelist protocol operators (LBAMM, TokenMaster, Payment Processor) – tokens become untradeable
• Setting customRuleset to non-zero when rulesetId is not 255 – will revert
• Enabling account freezing (GO2) without first calling setRulesetOfCollection with the GO2 flag – freezing has no effect
• Using WLO flags with a non-whitelist ruleset (ID 1, 2, or 3) – WLO flags are ignored
