ERC-721

ERC-721 is a standard for representing the ownership of different unique tokens, also known as “non-fungible tokens”. Tokens made to the ERC-721 standard are indivisible, distinguishable, and can represent a collection of assets. An ERC-721 token can also have different value than another token from the same smart contract.
