ERC-6551 explained ✨

WTF is ERC-6551? ‘Token Bound Accounts’ Explained 🎒 

In 2017, the ERC-721 standard was introduced to Ethereum, establishing a new way to tokenize digital assets and paving the way for mass adoption of NFTs with projects like CryptoKitties, NBA Top Shot, and the CryptoPunks.

5 years later, one of the greatest innovations in NFTs is here. Introducing ERC-6551: a new standard for ‘token bound accounts’ which creates a smart contract wallet for every ERC-721 NFT.

ERC-6551 just went live last month, but innovation for token bound accounts is moving fast — supercharging the potential of NFTs with use cases for fully onchain identities, in-game characters, composability, & so much more.

But why do we need ERC-6551? What use cases do token bound accounts unlock for NFTs? And how can I get started with ERC-6551? Learn all of the above (& more) in our full breakdown:
