does each item in ERC-1155 type is unique?

Question

When I create a type of ERC 1155 with multiple tokens, is there a way to identify a specific token, is each token unique?

Answer 1

If I understood you question right then that would depend on your usage of it.

ERC-1155 is basically a combination of ERC-20 & ERC-721 thereby supporting the development of fungible, semi-fungible, non-fungible tokens...

So if your looking for uniqueness, non-fungible tokens would basically be that. (hence the term " non-fungible ")

Answer 2

I believe he is talking about only ERC20 tokens, if so then the token name and symbol is basically the unique identifier.
