What Are the Security Benefits of Consolidating Multiple Token Types into a Single ERC-1155 Contract?

Consolidating multiple token types into a single ERC-1155 contract significantly reduces the attack surface for the derivative protocol. Instead of managing and auditing separate smart contracts for the underlying asset (ERC-20), the options position (ERC-721), and the options token (ERC-20), only one contract needs to be secured and audited.

This reduces the complexity of cross-contract interactions, minimizing the risk of re-entrancy or logic bugs that can occur when multiple contracts communicate.
