Fungible token

A token whose units are interchangeable with other units of the same token class.

PLAIN-ENGLISH DEFINITION

In more detail

Fungible means one unit can replace another equivalent unit from the same token class. You don't normally care which individual unit arrives in a transfer. It doesn't mean every token with the same ticker is equivalent, or that a token has a stable price or a right to redeem it for something else.

IN THE WILD

How you might use it

You receive ten units of one ERC-20 token; you don’t need to track ten separate collectible IDs to spend them.
