# What is ERC-1155?

Similar to [ERC-721](https://docs.universe.xyz/universe-basics/minting-faqs/what-is-erc-721), 1155 is a standard interface for contracts. The main difference being ERC-1155 manages **multiple** **token** **types**. The standard adopts the majority of functions from previous standards before it, like ERC-721.

An [ERC-1155](https://ethereum.org/en/developers/docs/standards/tokens/erc-1155/#top) contract can contain a varying combination of different tokens and configurations.
