ERC-1155 combined fungible and non-fungible token patterns

EIP-1155 defines a multi-token contract interface that can manage fungible, non-fungible and semi-fungible token types in one contract.

Proposal / specification year: 2018First published

Batch operations and a shared interface can reduce deployment overhead for games and applications managing many item classes.

The standard broadened NFTs from one-contract-per-collection thinking toward richer inventories and in-game assets.

Standards simplify integration but do not determine ownership rights, scarcity or the quality of an item’s off-chain metadata.
