FoolProof Labs supports two methodologies for implementing Decentralized User Management (DUM): Immutable Control (IC) and Centralized Moderation (CM). Each strategy offers a unique approach to control and flexibility in managing user access and interactions.

1. Immutable Control (IC): This strategy provides a path to DUM enablement for any web app. Instead of centralized user profiles and permissions management, the FPT IC implementation uses FPTs instead of individualized permissions and distributes the ownership of the profile to an individual user. The permissions (FPTs) cannot be removed or changed by the user profile (wallet owner), they can only be managed by the FPT administrator (contract owner) or the owner of the sponsor smart contract.

The key value of an IC implementation for DUM is that it allows a brand or company to leverage blockchain technology and security for their user management systems, while also maintaining fully centralized control of the assets for legal and regulatory purposes. This enables the brand or company to leverage existing on-chain communities who share values and gain a new set of loyal consumers, while also rewarding the members of that community.

• Deployment of Smart Contracts: Initiate by deploying a smart contract on an Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatible blockchain, choosing between ERC-721 (non-fungible tokens) or ERC-1155 (multi-token standard) formats.
• FoolProof Token (FPT) Smart Contract Deployment: Proceed with deploying the compatible FPT smart contract, referencing the “sponsor contract.”
• Token Minting and Allocation: Mint tokens to an administrator's wallet, as needed, which serves as the central repository for all newly created FPTs.
• Distribution to Users: Assign the FPTs from the administrator’s wallet to individual user profiles (user’s designated hot wallet).
• Wallet Connection Point Integration: Integrate a wallet connection system (like WalletConnect or Ledger Connect Kit) into your web or decentralized application (dApp), using the FPT smart contract address to establish permissioned access.
• Configuration Settings: Customize settings on-chain, within the IC model, to define how FPTs interact with your system. This includes setting parameters for token distribution, access levels, and any rules governing token transferability or usage within your platform in order to define permissions for recipients.

2. Centralized Moderation (CM): This strategy is meant to add moderation ability back into the hands of the smart contract owners after selling decentralized assets, such as NFTs. CM utilized the Amped functionality of the FPT, to create a data layer, controlled by the FPT contract owner and their designated admins, to control whether the FPT meets the conditional criteria for a holder to gain full access. This could be members in good standing financially, have agreed to legal terms, or have participated to a specified level.

The key value of a CM implementation for DUM is that it reestablishes control for a brand or company that has already distributed a decentralized asset like a NFT, empowering the brand with a single source of truth that they are able to manage based on their legal and regulatory compliance requirements, ultimately mitigating risk to participating in web3.

• Deploying the FPT Smart Contract: Deploy the FPT smart contract on an EVM chain, selecting the appropriate format (ERC-721, ERC-1155, or ERC-20) based on compatibility with existing smart contracts.
• Amped Functionality Enhancement: Enhance the FPT smart contract with 'Amped' functionality to regain moderation control for decentralized assets as well as management capabilities.
