Multi tokens (ERC-1155) name and symbol
By definition, name
and symbol
found in the ERC-20 and ERC-721 standards are not available.
Name
The name function (for human-readable asset names, on-chain) was removed from the standard to allow the Metadata JSON to be the definitive asset name and reduce duplication of data.
Symbol
The symbol function was not included since creators did not believe this is a globally useful piece of data to identify a generic virtual item/asset and is also prone to collisions. Short-hand symbols are used in tickers and currency trading, but they arenβt as useful outside of that space.
