How to Deploy an Item Collection Contract in Sequence Builder

This guide walks through how to setup and deploy a Web3 Game Item contract in Builder.

ERC721 vs. ERC1155

Both contracts mint NFTs, but ERC721, being the earlier standard, has gained widespread adoption, particularly in digital collectibles. Known for its simplicity and ease to audit for security, ERC721 tokens are distinct, contributing to their recognition in various NFT marketplaces. Typically you would use an ERC721 contract if: you're dealing with the single same asset, multiplied, or a multiplicity of 1 item with many in a collection

Example ERC721: Azuki

In contrast, ERC1155 offers versatility with efficient batch operations for both fungible and non-fungible tokens in a single contract, where typically you would be dealing with a multiplicity of a many items to many quanties relationship. However, this flexibility introduces complexity, necessitating careful security attention.

Example ERC1155: Skyweaver

Step 1: Navigate to contracts

Start by selecting your project in the top left and corner for what you want to create the collectible for, and head to the contracts section and select + Deploy new contract

Step 2: Choose your collectible type

Then make your choice of Web3 Game Item Collection (ERC1155) or NFT Collection (ERC721), for this example we'll walk you through a Web3 Game Item Collection (ERC1155)
