ERC404 - Explained & Simplified [For Dummies]
🧵👇🏽
Introduction:
ERC404 have been discussed often in recent days, and it feels like every single project is going up.
However, be careful of ruggers.
➤ 1. What is ERC404?
- Think of it as a Mix of Two existing Token Types:
ERC-20 (used for Regular Tokens, Digital $$) and
ERC-721 (used for Special Tokens called NFTs, digital collectibles)
➤ 2. How does ERC404 work?
- Imagine you're buying slices of a Digital Pizza.
Each slice (ERC20 Token) is connected to a special Recipe (ERC721 NFT). If you buy less than a full slice, the Recipe gets burned. But if you collect enough slices to make a whole pizza, a new recipe is automatically cooked up.
- However this process is a bit like using more gas in your car, it comes at a cost.
Some ERC404 using inefficient Contracts, where you end up paying more in Fees than the actual purchase value.
➤ 3. Why is ERC404 Needed?
- This new Standard solves 2 Major Issues with NFTs:
1) You don't need to hunt for a Buyer every time you want to Sell – there's a Pool of buyers anytime.
2) You can break down your special digital items into smaller parts without locking them away.
It's like sharing pieces of your Pizza without putting it in a box.
➤ 4. What's special about ERC404?
- ERC404 is like having a "Chameleon" Token.
It can act like a Regular Token (ERC20) or a Special Collectible (NFT), giving you the best of both Worlds.
