Business identifier smart contract

The Business Identifier contact allows a business to manage their service accounts on the network and includes crucial business information such as the registered name, authorised representatives, official smart contracts, and other relevant data required to establish a degree of transparency and trust between the business and any party that wishes to transact with it on the network.

Once a business is verified, the accredited issuer who facilities the process will provide the applicant with the address where the contract has been deployed on Redbelly, for example:

0xB52eB569DcDceB64c22095eCCf8BBeAC816Dcd

 

The contract is used to record and maintain:

  • the public details about the business
  • a list of public addresses that serve as the business's authorised representatives
  • a list of public addresses that serve as the business's service accounts
  • a list of smart contracts officially associated with the business.

The following is an example of the business identifier contract structure.

Interacting with a deployed business identifier contract

Important!

Only authorised representatives will be able to interact with a deployed business identifier contract. To add additional authorised representatives, contact the accredited issuer that registered your business.

remix

1. Get Remix

Remix is recommended when managing deployed contracts.

Property 1=devDashboard

2. Setup contract

  • Connect to Remix with the public address your provided the accredited issuer when you registered.
  • Import the BusinessIdentifier.sol contract template.
  • Compile the contract using the Solidity Compiler feature.
remix-compiler-example
Property 1=link

3. Connect to the deployed instance

  • Remix will allow you to select "injected provider" from it's Deploy and Run Transactions tab.
  • Paste the contract address of the specific deployed instance of the contract you want to interact with using the At Address feature.
remix-inject-example
Property 1=success

4. Utilise specific functions

Once Remix has been connected to the deployed version of the contract, it will display a list of available functions (see below).

These functions can be utilised through the Remix interface. For example, to add a smart contract to the smartContracts array, the contract address is entered into the addsmartContract input field.

Once the transaction is made and the payload is signed through the connected wallet, the contract will update.


Functions and roles

The following is a list of functions available to authorised representatives of the business in the BusinessIdentifier smart contract.

The following roles are associated with the smart contract management:

  • Authorised representative (an individual director or officeholder of the business)
  • Authorised delegate (a business service account. For example, this public address could be managed by an employee or infrastructure)

Managing service accounts

Function Description Allowed role
addAuthorisedDelegate Adds an array of public addresses to the authorisedDelegates array and grants those addresses network permission. Authorised representative only
removeAuthorisedDelegate Removes an array of public addresses from the authorisedDelegates array and revokes network permission from those addresses. Authorised representative only

Managing smart contracts

Function Description Allowed role
addSmartContract Adds a smart contract address to the smartContracts array. Authorised representative or Authorised delegate
removeSmartContract Removes a smart contract address from the smartContracts array. Authorised representative or Authorised delegate

Managing authorised representatives

To manage authorised representatives, you will need to contact the accredited issuer that first registered the business. This is a security measure.


Updating business profile

To protect the integrity of the official information on-chain, updating the fundamental details about a business (which were verified before the business smart contract was generated) requires re-verification of the business.

To do so, raise a request with the accredited issuer who created the business smart contract, detailing the required changes to the BusinessIdentifier smart contract.

This includes if the need arises to:

  • update the company name
  • update the incorporated name
  • update identifier type
  • update identifier
  • update the business address
  • update the beneficial owner
  • add a company director
  • remove a company director
