ERC-721

ERC-721: Non-Fungible Token (NFT) Standard 🖼️

ERC-721 defines the standard for non-fungible tokens, which are unique and indivisible. This standard has been crucial for the development of digital collectibles, art, and gaming assets.

Key functions of ERC-721:

• balanceOf(address owner): Returns the number of NFTs owned by an address

• ownerOf(uint256 tokenId): Returns the owner of a specific token

• transferFrom(address from, address to, uint256 tokenId): Transfers ownership of an NFT

• approve(address to, uint256 tokenId): Grants permission to transfer a specific NFT

• setApprovalForAll(address operator, bool approved): Enables or disables approval for a third party to manage all of the sender's assets

Example ERC-721 implementation:

pragma solidity ^0.8.0;

contract ERC721Token {
    mapping(uint256 => address) private _owners;
    mapping(address => uint256) private _balances;
    mapping(uint256 => address) private _tokenApprovals;
    mapping(address => mapping(address => bool)) private _operatorApprovals;

    event Transfer(address indexed from, address indexed to, uint256 indexed tokenId);
    event Approval(address indexed owner, address indexed approved, uint256 indexed tokenId);
    event ApprovalForAll(address indexed owner, address indexed operator, bool approved);

    }

    function isApprovedForAll(address owner, address operator) public view returns (bool) {

        address owner = ownerOf(tokenId);
        return (spender == owner || getApproved(tokenId) == spender || isApprovedForAll(owner, spender));
    }

    function _transfer(address from, address to, uint256 tokenId) internal {
        require(ownerOf(tokenId) == from, "ERC721: transfer of token that is not own");
        require(to != address(0), "ERC721: transfer to the zero address");
        _approve(address(0), tokenId);
        _balances[from] -= 1;
        _balances[to] += 1;
        _owners[tokenId] = to;

    function _approve(address to, uint256 tokenId) internal {

        emit Approval(ownerOf(tokenId), to, tokenId);
    }
