This is very useful for related groups of NFT's, e.g. multiple editions or variations of the same art concept. Using ERC-1155 where applicable helps you reduce transaction costs (aka "gas fees") incurred by creating tokens when compared to using a separate ERC-721 for each token. With ERC-1155, you only have to submit the smart contract once instead of many times for each separate NFT! Getting a little more technical, the Multiple NFT (ERC-1155) is a smart contract that can represent any number of non-fungible (and fungible!) token types within it. This Multi-Token Standard allows for each token to carry a unique ID which may have its own metadata, supply and other distinguishing attributes that make it unique. #### Editions Going deeper, this standard makes it possible for you to have an NFT with a balance greater than 1, but always with zero decimal places (aka "precision 0"). #### Batch It also removes a lot of redundant code on the Ethereum blockchain and offers batch functionalities, which are efficiencies that help keep fees lower. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.luxy.io/help-center/luxy-marketplace/key-concepts/collections/erc-1155-multiple.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
