Blockchain Vocabulary - Semi-Fungible Assets (20/30)

Fungible Assets: Common and easily interchangeable (examples: Bitcoin, US Dollars)

Non-Fungible Assets: Unique and not easily interchangeable (examples: NFTs, a rare watch)

Semi-Fungible Assets: Can be both fungible and non-fungible depending on certain conditions during their lifecycle

Semi-Fungible Assets Example: A ticket to the last concert by a famous band can be exchanged for another ticket (fungible) until it is used, then it becomes a piece of memorabilia (non-fungible) that has a level of uniqueness and value

Semi-fungible assets are most commonly used in games where in-game currency or clan membership has to be fungible, but rare collectibles or weapons have to be non-fungible
