📚 Glossary 📚

Learn key crypto terms used above:

Meme Coin: A type of cryptocurrency that is often based on internet memes or jokes. They usually have no inherent utility or serious purpose beyond their community-driven popularity, often leading to highly volatile prices.

Stablecoin: A type of cryptocurrency that is pegged to a stable asset, most commonly a fiat currency like the US dollar. This pegging helps stabilize the coin's price and reduces volatility, making stablecoins useful for trading and as a digital cash equivalent.

Block Size: Refers to the amount of data that can be contained in one block of a blockchain. Larger block sizes can allow for more transactions to be processed at once, potentially leading to faster transaction speeds.

Hard Fork: A radical change to the protocol of a blockchain network that results in the splitting of the blockchain, creating two paths: one that follows the old protocol and one that follows the new version. This often leads to the creation of a new cryptocurrency.

Transaction Speed: The rate at which transactions are processed on a cryptocurrency network. Faster transaction speeds mean that transactions can be confirmed quickly, which is essential for using cryptocurrency in everyday payments.

Trading Volumes: The total quantity of a cryptocurrency that is bought and sold over a certain period of time. High trading volumes often indicate high interest and liquidity, making it easier to buy or sell the cryptocurrency quickly without affecting its price.

Yield: The earnings generated and realized on an investment over a particular period of time, often expressed as a percentage. In cryptocurrency, yield can refer to earnings from activities like staking or providing liquidity in decentralized finance platforms.

Decentralized Applications (dApps): Applications that run on a blockchain network instead of a single computer, allowing them to be open source and decentralized. This removes control from any single entity, which is one of the core benefits of blockchain technology.

Layer 1 Blockchain: A term that refers to a base layer blockchain, such as Bitcoin or Ethereum, that has its own infrastructure and network. Layer 1 blockchains can interact with layer 2 solutions which enhance scalability and other functions.

Decentralized Finance (DeFi): An umbrella term for financial services on public blockchains, primarily Ethereum. With DeFi, you can do most things that banks support and earn interest, borrow, lend, buy insurance, trade derivatives, trade assets, and more.

Cryptographic Techniques: Methods used to secure information and communications through the use of codes so that only those for whom the information is intended can read and process it. In cryptocurrencies, cryptography secures transactions, controls the creation of new units, and verifies asset transfers.
