Practical overview
When it fits
Use it when developing an Ethereum contract that needs to represent multiple token types and may benefit from transferring related classes together.
Who it is for
- Solidity developers building Ethereum multi-token contracts
- Teams managing related asset classes, such as game items, in a single token contract
Documented uses
- Create a contract that tracks balances for multiple token IDs.
- Transfer several token classes in a batch.
- Choose between standard balances and a packed-balance implementation.
Requirements & limits
The repository is public and identifies the package as Apache-2.0 licensed.
- The packed implementation stores multiple balances in one uint256 using bitwise operations.
- The README gives example gas comparisons for transfers of 100 token classes; actual costs depend on the contract and transaction.
- The documented setup uses npm or Yarn and Solidity ^0.8.0.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Install and inherit the ERC1155 contract
Add the library to a project and start a Solidity contract that inherits from its ERC1155 implementation.
Before you start
- An npm- or Yarn-managed project
- A Solidity contract using pragma ^0.8.0
Steps
Install with the command below or
yarn add @0xsequence/erc-1155.npm install @0xsequence/erc-1155Import
@0xsequence/erc-1155/contracts/tokens/ERC1155/ERC1155.solin the Solidity source.Declare a contract that inherits from
ERC1155.
Expected outcome
A Solidity contract source set up to inherit the library’s ERC1155 implementation.
Guide limitations
- The documented example does not cover deployment, token issuance or transaction execution.
