ERC721: The OG NFT Standard (Non-Fungible Token) Think of it as a unique identifier for one-of-a-kind digital assets. Each token is distinct, with its own history & metadata. Perfect for: 🎨 Art 🏡 Real world assets 🎮 Unique game items

Key characteristics of ERC721: Uniqueness: Each token has a unique tokenId. Ownership: Clear ownership for every single token. Traceability: Full history of ownership transfers. It's like owning a specific, numbered painting – no two are exactly alike!

ERC1155: The Multi-Token Standard This standard is a game-changer for efficiency! It allows a single smart contract to manage multiple types of tokens – both fungible (like currencies) and non-fungible (like NFTs).

Why ERC1155 shines: Batch Operations: Transfer multiple token types in one transaction. Saves gas! ⛽ Hybrid Tokens: Manage fungible and non-fungible assets from the same contract. Efficiency: Ideal for projects needing diverse token economies (e.g., games with in-game currency & unique items).

Imagine a game where you have gold coins (fungible) and a rare sword (non-fungible). ERC1155 can handle both seamlessly within the same contract, unlike ERC721 which would need separate contracts.
