- **Fullnodes** are clients that ensure data are stored up-to-date on the network. They replicate blockchain state and transactions from other fullnodes and validator nodes.

### Fungible Asset

- A **fungible asset** is an asset, such as a currency, share, in-game resource, etc., that is interchangeable with another identical asset without any loss in its value. For example, APT is a fungible asset because you can exchange one APT for another.

### Fungible Token

- A **fungible token** is a token that is interchangeable with other identical tokens (i.e., tokens that share the same `TokenId`). This means the tokens have the same `creator address`, `collection name`, `token name`, and `property version`.
