0x Protocol to Enhance Capabilities with ERC-1155 Integration

0x, a peer-to-peer exchange protocol, will integrate support for the ERC-1155 token standard, also known as the multi-token standard. This decision comes after 0x's community approved two improvement proposals (ZEIPs) that introduce ERC-1155 support and the creation of conditional orders based on blockchain states. The ERC-1155 standard enables the issuance of mixed fungible and non-fungible tokens within a single smart contract, offering increased efficiency and flexibility. 0x plans to implement these changes on its mainnet on August 5th.

0x Protocol to Integrate ERC-1155 Multi-Token Standard

In a significant move towards enhancing its protocol capabilities, 0x has announced the imminent integration of support for the ERC-1155 token standard, widely known as the multi-token standard. This development follows the community's approval of two improvement proposals, ZEIP-24 and ZEIP-39.

The announcement was made through an official tweet by 0x, expressing enthusiasm over the community's approval of the proposals. "We are thrilled to announce that ZEIP-24 and ZEIP-39 have been approved by our community of ZRX token holders!" the tweet stated, highlighting the implementation date of August 5th for both ZEIPs on the mainnet.

The community vote concluded on July 29th, with both proposals garnering overwhelming support. ZEIP-24 introduces an ERC-1155 asset proxy to the 0x mainnet, enabling the trading of ERC-1155 assets within the protocol.

The ERC-1155 standard represents a significant evolution in token standards by allowing the issuance of mixed fungible and non-fungible tokens within a single smart contract. Notably, previous standards like ERC-20 and ERC-721 solely facilitated the issuance of non-fungible tokens. Additionally, the ERC-1155 standard enhances the efficiency of token creation and transfer processes.

ZEIP-39, on the other hand, introduces the ability to establish conditional orders based on specific blockchain states. This functionality finds application in validating stateful assets during settlement, ensuring the integrity of the asset remains intact.

The ERC-1155 standard was conceived and developed by Enjin co-founder and CTO Witek Radomski. It recently gained official recognition as a token standard by Ethereum. Enjin has been actively promoting this integration, tweeting, "ERC-1155 support is coming to 0x protocol on August 5."

0x's integration of ERC-1155 opens up new possibilities for tokenization and trading within the decentralized finance ecosystem. As the protocol is designed to facilitate peer-to-peer exchange, the inclusion of the multi-token standard expands the range of assets that can be traded on the 0x platform.
