  ERC-721 tokens are non-fungible tokens (NFTs) that represent unique assets on the blockchain. Unlike ERC-20 tokens, which are fungible and can be exchanged on a one-to-one basis, ERC-721 tokens are indivisible and each token has its own distinct value and properties. ERC-721 tokens are commonly used to represent ownership of digital collectibles, virtual real estate, or unique assets in decentralized applications (dApps).

  When it comes to ERC-1155 tokens, they are a hybrid of ERC-20 and ERC-721 tokens. ERC-1155 tokens can represent both fungible and non-fungible assets, allowing for greater flexibility in tokenization. This means that a single ERC-1155 token can represent multiple instances of a fungible asset or a unique non-fungible asset. ERC-1155 tokens are often used in gaming applications, where they can represent both in-game currency and unique in-game items.
