ERC-1155 tokens

This is a token created by enjin it is so extraordinary because it supports both none-fungible and fungible tokens. It was built to assist in faster and more efficient use in batch token transfer.

It is given a unique name known as the next-generation multi-token standard and still can use a single contract to make different types of NFTs.

---

ERC-1155, ERC-20, AND ERC-721. DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE THREE.

In this question, I'll be differentiating the three with a clear point.

---

ERC-721	ERC-1155	ERC-20
It has a high gas fee	it supports both non-fungible and fungible tokens	it authorized users to formulate special contracts which can work like currencies
It's is unchangeable, transparent in ownership and privacy	it is faster and well structured to use in batch token transfer	it is a fungibility token I.e it can be interchanged for another of like-kind at any point in time
Attempting to transfer an entire collection with ERC-721 can be slow and incompetent	gas fee is not that high, it is reduced by 90% thus making it inexpensive for anyone to start minting on blockchain	it was formulated around 2015 then was merged finally with the ethereum blockchain in 2017
It is used extensively	it can use a single contract to make different types of NFTs	it is the first and widely used token standard accepted by the eth blockchain yet has developed to an extent that another token is been executed on it.

ETHERSCAN

Before I'll proceed to the main question let us have a brief knowledge about what etherscan is all about.

The etherscan was build to encourage blockchain transparency and accessibility. Too it's been recognized as ethereum leading block explorer. It is a search engine that enables its users to look up, verify and validate transactions on the ethereum decentralized smart contrast protocol.

And this is done in a simple means just by inserting and searching the address in the search box with all this one can view the whole worth, balance, and transactions that have been done via that address.

WHAT IS THE FUTURE OF THE NFT MARKET IN MY OPINION

I will start by saying that digital trading is universal now, mining cryptocurrencies every day. And immutability of blockchain and save wallet are being built and released.

Hence the new movement that has caught the interest of investors is the nft market as it is set aside for the selling of artwork.

Previously investors don't have an interest in artworks, video, games, and music etc. but the nft and its marketplace and its execution on the blockchain have made artwork popular and millions of dollars have been made from it.

---

In conclusion, the nft market brings a lot of involvement and potential. However, it is crucial to emphasize the nft market is still in the early stage of its evolution.
