## Summary

ERC-6551 gives NFTs token-bound accounts (TBAs) that let them act as smart contract accounts, though the article questions whether the standard is necessary given existing multicall functionality. It says most NFTs are still static, and that a TBA lets an NFT call smart contracts and hold assets, which could improve user experience for gaming and asset management. Examples given include a game character NFT holding its equipment and history, and a Lens profile NFT holding its followers and interactions. For Carbonable, which uses Starknet and Cairo, the article suggests a single NFT could hold Alice's 20 carbon credit SFTs, while noting that multicall could achieve similar bundling and that the Cairo implementation by HorusLabs was nearly complete as of June 2024.
