  • get_approved(token_id) - Gets approved account for token
  • is_approved_for_all(owner, operator) - Checks operator approval

ERC-1155 Batch Operations

  • balance_of_batch(accounts, ids) - Batch balance queries
  • safe_batch_transfer_from(from, to, ids, amounts, data) - Batch transfers

Key Architectural Decisions

1. Dual Standard Approach

The implementation maintains full compatibility with both ERC-721 and ERC-1155 standards by:

  • Adding ERC-1155 batch operations as supplementary functionality
  • Using shared storage structures to minimize redundancy
  • Providing clear migration paths from existing systems

2. Enhanced Security Model

Security is addressed through multiple layers:

  • Role-based access control for sensitive operations
  • Compliance verification requirements for critical functions
  • Bridge operator management for cross-chain operations

3. Extensible Design

The architecture supports future enhancements:

  • Modular structure allowing easy addition of new features
  • Standardized interfaces for integration with external systems
  • Flexible metadata schema supporting various property types
  • Configurable compliance and verification workflows
