Frequently Asked Questions
What is ERC-1155?
ERC-1155 is a token standard co-authored by Enjin that allows a single smart contract to manage multiple token types — fungible (like currencies), non-fungible (like unique items), and semi-fungible (like concert tickets). This is more efficient than deploying separate contracts for each token type and has become an industry standard for gaming NFTs.
How does ENJ melting work?
Every NFT created on Enjin contains locked ENJ tokens as backing value. If you 'melt' (destroy) an NFT, the locked ENJ is returned to you. This creates a minimum floor value for every NFT and generates ongoing demand for ENJ proportional to the number of assets in the ecosystem.
Is Enjin a game or a platform?
Enjin is a platform, not a game. It provides tools (APIs, SDKs, blockchain, marketplace, wallet) for game developers to integrate blockchain assets. Individual games use Enjin's infrastructure to create tokenized items, but Enjin doesn't make games itself — it's the picks-and-shovels play for blockchain gaming.
