Fungible and Non-Fungible Tokens on Solana: Same System, Different Rules
The article discusses the differences between fungible and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) on the Solana blockchain. It explains that fungible tokens are interchangeable and identical, while non-fungible tokens are unique and distinct from one another. Solana uses the same token system for both types, differing only in configuration settings such as decimals and supply.
- ▪Fungible tokens are interchangeable, meaning each unit is identical to another.
- ▪Non-fungible tokens are unique, with each token differing in properties and characteristics.
- ▪Solana manages both fungible and non-fungible tokens through the same Token Program, with distinctions based on mint configuration.
