§Puzzles
Chia coins have a puzzle, which controls how it can be spent. The solution is used as the arguments to the puzzle, and the output is a list of conditions.
A puzzle consists of multiple layers composed together.
§Layers
A layer is a subset of the logic that makes up a smart coin in Chia. They are also referred to as “inner puzzles”, and the solution can be broken up into “inner solutions” as well.
Generally, you can parse and construct the individual layers separately.
This allows them to be composed together freely. However, there are sometimes
additional restraints which limit the ways they can be mixed. For example,
the CatLayer cannot have another CatLayer as its inner puzzle, due to the
way it’s written. This would create an error when validating the announcements.
§P2 Puzzles
A p2 puzzle (meaning “pay to”) controls the ownership of the coin.
The simplest example of this is p2_conditions.clsp, which requires a signature
from a single public key and outputs a list of conditions from the solution.
The “standard transaction” (which is p2_delegated_puzzle_or_hidden_puzzle.clsp)
is a kind of p2 puzzle that adds additional flexibility. Specifically, support
for an inner puzzle, and usage of a delegated puzzle instead of directly conditions.
Generally, the p2 puzzle is the base layer in a coin’s puzzle, and everything else builds on top of it to restrict the way it can be spent or attach state.
§Primitives
A Primitive uses one or more Layer to parse info from a parent’s coin spend.
Generally, Layer has the ability to parse and construct individual puzzles and solutions,
and the composed Primitive struct can parse all of the information required to spend a coin.
The Primitive should also provide a way to spend the coin, and other utilities necessary.

This includes the

The
DidInfois used to construct the puzzle, but theProofis needed for the solution. - DidInfo
- Information needed to construct the outer puzzle of a DID. It does not include the inner puzzle, which must be stored separately.

Launcher - An intermediate launcher is a coin that is created prior to the actual launcher coin. In this case, it automatically creates the launcher coin upon being spent.
- Issue
CatAction - Launcher
- A singleton launcher is a coin that is spent within the same block to create a singleton.
The first coin that is created is known as an “eve” singleton.
The
Launchertype allows you to get the launcher id before committing to creating the singleton. - Melt

- Information needed to construct the outer puzzle of an NFT. It does not include the inner puzzle, which must be stored separately.
- NftMint
- NftOwnership
Layer - The NFT ownership
Layerkeeps track of the current DID that owns the NFT. It also contains a transfer layer, which is used to transfer ownership of the NFT. The inner puzzle layer is commonly used for determining ownership (in the key sense, not DID). - NftState

Layerkeeps track of the current metadata of the NFT and how to change it. It’s typically an inner layer of theSingletonLayer. - Offer

Layerenables anyone to spend a coin provided they pay an XCH fee to an address. It’s typically used withDelegationLayer. - Output

- P2Curried
Layer - The p2 curried
Layerallows for . - P2Delegated
Conditions Layer - The p2 delegated conditions
Layerallows a certain key to spend the coin. To do so, a list of additional conditions is signed and passed in the solution. Typically, theStandardLayeris used instead, since it adds more flexibility. - P2One
OfMany Layer - The p2 1 of n
Layerallows for picking from several delegated puzzles at runtime without revealing up front. - P2Singleton
Layer - The p2 singleton
Layerallows for requiring that a singleton be spent alongside this coin to authorize it. - RawPuzzle

Memo - Revocation
Layer - The revocation
Layerallows the issuer to revoke the asset. - Royalty
Info - Royalty
Transfer Layer - The royalty transfer
Layeris used to transfer NFTs with royalties. When an NFT is transferred, a percentage of the transfer amount is paid to an address. This address can for example be the creator, or a royalty split puzzle. - RunTail

Action - Settlement
Layer - The settlement
Layeris used to spend coins that are part of an offer. - Settlement
Spend - Single
CatSpend - Singleton
Layer - The singleton
Layerenforces uniqueness on a coin, which is identified by the launcher id. It contains an inner puzzle layer, which determines the actual behavior of the coin. Only one singleton can be created when the coin is spent, preserving the lineage of the asset. - Singleton
