ERC-1155
An Ethereum token standard that combines fungible and non-fungible balances in one contract, with batched transfers — widely used by games.
Designed at Enjin for game inventories. An ERC-1155 contract can hold arbitrarily many token IDs, where each ID can be either fungible (many owners, balances per ID) or non-fungible (supply of one, single owner).
The standout feature is batched transfers: many IDs can move in a single transaction, saving substantial gas versus one ERC-721 transfer per token. Most onchain games and many newer NFT collections issue via ERC-1155 instead of ERC-721.
