Fungible refers to anything that can be replaced by a similar item or that is mutually interchangeable with something else. For example, money is a fungible asset. One dollar can be easily replaced with another and the value remains the same.

Non–Fungible, therefore, means a thing that is unique, which cannot be interchanged or replaced with something else. Thus, Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) are a one-of-a-kind digital asset, that can be bought and sold like any other piece of property. They can take the form of anything digital including music, drawings, animated GIFS etc. and can also represent real world physical assets.
