  The ERC-721 standard is a non-fungible token (NFT) standard on the Ethereum blockchain. Unlike other token standards, such as ERC-20, ERC-721 tokens are unique and indivisible. This uniqueness allows for the creation and ownership of digital assets that can represent real-world items like artwork, collectibles, or in-game items. In contrast, fungible tokens like ERC-20 are interchangeable and can be divided into smaller units. ERC-721 tokens have gained popularity in the digital art and gaming industries due to their ability to provide verifiable ownership and scarcity to digital assets.

  When it comes to functionality, ERC-721 tokens offer more flexibility compared to other token standards. Each ERC-721 token can have its own set of properties and metadata, making it possible to create complex and interactive digital assets. This flexibility enables developers to build applications that leverage the unique characteristics of ERC-721 tokens, such as creating virtual worlds, decentralized marketplaces, and unique gaming experiences.
