ERC-1155
ERC-1155 is a different token that has the capacity to support non fungible tokens (NFTs) and it is built by Enjin on the Ethereum ecosystem. It is excellent in term of speed especially when used in batch token transfer.
It uses single contract to form different types of NFts. With gas fees less than 90% it very cost friendly. It is also a tool for making use of tokens with different functions.

1.ERC-1155 can keep under its jurisdiction tokens that can function in a similitude of ERC-20 and ERC-721 tokens either under the same time and address.
2.ERC-20 tokens cannot react to transfer events. This as led to trapped tokens especially when users send to wrong addresses while ERC-1155 can resolve transfer events/issues with ability to revert tokens to the issuers.
3.ERC-721 also have problems identifying the owner of a token directly. Therefore, making transaction difficult with individual transfer incurring costs. This is resolved by ERC-1155 because mass transfer are possible with minimal cost. It's also interface with ERC-165.
