Hey @Vinh_Trinh and @oxuw4. I came across the same issue and just found the root cause: [Unidentified contract: OpenSea is unable to "understand" ERC-1155 - #2 by itinance](https://forum.openzeppelin.com/t/unidentified-contract-opensea-is-unable-to-understand-erc-1155/14372/2)

Long story short: add a public variable called `name` into your contract (and probably a property `symbol` as well) and your contract will be shown properly on OpenSea. This here is my working example, based on OpenZeppelin ERC1155: [https://testnets.opensea.io/assets/0xfdBd4652390618aca3f60c9B78c4eE9AAFD74914/1](https://testnets.opensea.io/assets/0xfdBd4652390618aca3f60c9B78c4eE9AAFD74914/1)
