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.
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.
