pragma solidity ^0.4.8; import "./ERC20.sol"; /* TransferableToken defines the generic interface and the implementation to limit token transferability for different events. It is intended to be used as a base class for other token contracts. Over-writting transferableTokens(address holder, uint64 time) is the way to provide the specific logic for limitting token transferability for a holder over time. TransferableToken has been designed to allow for different limitting factors, this can be achieved by recursively calling super.transferableTokens() until the base class is hit. For example: function transferableTokens(address holder, uint64 time) constant public returns (uint256) { return min256(unlockedTokens, super.transferableTokens(holder, time)); } A working example is VestedToken.sol: https://github.com/OpenZeppelin/zeppelin-solidity/blob/master/contracts/token/VestedToken.sol */ contract TransferableToken is ERC20 { // Checks whether it can transfer or otherwise throws. modifier canTransfer(address _sender, uint _value) { if (_value > transferableTokens(_sender, uint64(now))) throw; _; } // Checks modifier and allows transfer if tokens are not locked. function transfer(address _to, uint _value) canTransfer(msg.sender, _value) returns (bool success) { return super.transfer(_to, _value); } // Checks modifier and allows transfer if tokens are not locked. function transferFrom(address _from, address _to, uint _value) canTransfer(_from, _value) returns (bool success) { return super.transferFrom(_from, _to, _value); } // Default transferable tokens function returns all tokens for a holder (no limit). function transferableTokens(address holder, uint64 time) constant public returns (uint256) { return balanceOf(holder); } }
