Blacklist Transfer Manager (BTM)

How it works

This module allows approved employees/issuers to create and establish an automated blacklist to prevent insider investors from selling thus de-risking price swings during time-sensitive cases like earning calls. The blacklists can automatically become active/inactive at set recurring intervals.

Key functionalities (as defined in the Smart Contract)

Initialization

This module does not require any initialization.

Execute Transfer

Summary:

  • If the module is paused or no blacklist is imposed on the sender, the transfer restrictions are skipped for that specific transfer.

  • The module works by parsing through all the blacklists applied to the sender and returns the invalid transfer if any of the blacklists is currently active.

  • Transfers are allowed to go through if none of the blacklists applied on the sender are active at that current moment.

    /** 
     * @param _from Address of the sender
     * @dev Restrict the blacklisted address to transfer tokens 
     * if the current time is between the timeframe define for the 
     * blacklist type associated with the _from address
     */
        function executeTransfer(address _from, address /* _to */, uint256 /* _amount */, bytes calldata /* _data */)

Managing blacklist types

Admins can add a new blacklist, modify an existing blacklist or delete a blacklist at any time using the below functions

Note:

  • _startTime is the timestamp of the beginning of the first instance of the blacklist.

  • _endTime is the timestamp of the end of the first instance of the blacklist.

  • _repeatPeriodTime is a number of cooldown days after which the blacklist should be reactivated. If the

  • _repeatPeriodTime == 0 makes the period non-repeating.

  • _name is the name of the blacklist type.

Special considerations / notes

  • function addInvestorToBlacklistMulti is limited by GAS limit and can only process the maximum number of address at a time.

  • To set a non-recurring blacklist, _repeatPeriodTime can be set to a zero.

  • All investors must be removed from a blacklist before that blacklist can be deleted using deleteBlacklistType function.
