Fungible Token

token
standard

A fungible token has interchangeable units, so each unit of the same token is equivalent for payment, accounting, or trading.

1
concept

Fungible tokens represent identical units; holders are generally indifferent to which specific unit they own. This contrasts with NFTs, where each token ID can be unique.

2
usage

Fungible tokens are used for payments, stablecoins, governance votes, liquidity provision, rewards, and collateral. Standards like ERC-20 make wallet and exchange integrations reusable.
