A freshly minted non-fungible token backed by 1.15 million ENJ that pays homage to the Doge meme is now the most valuable ERC-1155 token in existence.
A Doge-themed non-fungible token (NFT) now appears to comprise the most valuable ERC-1155 in existence. The NFT is backed by over 1,155,777.1 Enjin (ENJ) â worth approximately $129,000 at the time of writing.
The NFT, âItâs good to be the King,â was minted on March 1 and pays homage to the meme-inspired DOGE cryptocurrency depicting the well-know Shiba Inu donned with a regal crown and staff.Â
âItâs good to be the Kingâ ERC-1155: Enjix
The tokenâs name appears as though it may be aimed in jest at the now-second-most valuable ERC-1155, The Monolith, which is backed by 1,155,777 ENJ â just 0.1 less ENJ (nearly $0.02) than the Doge-themed NFT. Â
ERC-1155 seeks to improve the efficiency of NFTs
Enjinâs ERC-1155 token standard was built to address limitations the company identified as inherent to the ERC-721 protocol.Â
Enjin describes the ERC-1155 as storing multiple tokens within a single contract, using the âminimum possible amount of data needed to distinguish the token from other ones."Â
By contrast, the company characterizes ERC-721s as requiring the building and deployment of a full smart contract for each individual NFT.
The standard also supports the creation of fungible tokens.
NFTs target the gaming industry
The Monolith is a fungible token that can be used on Enjinâs Multiverse platform.
The multiverse is described as âa collective gaming reality created by integrating a collection of blockchain assets with multiple games.â Game developers share a decentralized database for in-game assets, with each shared database comprising a unique multiverse.
As such, gamers are able to use the same digital assets across multiple games with each multiverse.
The NFT ecosystem is evolving
The NFT ecosystem has gained momentum recently, with an increasing number of protocols seeking to cater to the needs of the applications for which they will be used and the developers who will use them.
On March 5, Dapper Labs, the developers behind the blockchain-powered game CryptoKitties, launched Flow Playground â an interface that lets developers experiment with creating NFTs and smart contractâs Dapper Labsâ Flow blockchain.
At the end of February, Dapper Labs announced a partnership with the UFC that will see a blockchain game featuring tokenized representations of mixed martial arts fights that can be trained and leveled up.
