Fungible
Fungible means that a specific good is identical among its various units. An example of a fungible token is bitcoin. One bitcoin is and will always be one bitcoin, identical to others in the network. Some other tokens, however, can be non-fungible, meaning that these tokens can have unique characteristics. These tokens are non-fungible, as in they have slightly different properties.
