Consensus Mechanism
The set of rules by which a decentralized network agrees on the valid state of the ledger — e.g., Proof of Work or Proof of Stake.
Cryptocurrency
A digital asset that uses cryptography to secure transactions and control the creation of new units, operating on a decentralized network rather than through a central authority.
Cryptography
The mathematics of securing information — encryption, digital signatures, and hashing are the foundations of all blockchain systems.

Private Key
The secret code that proves ownership of crypto and authorizes transactions. Whoever holds the private key controls the funds — lose it, and the assets are gone.
Proof of Stake (PoS)
A consensus mechanism where validators lock up ('stake') coins for the right to confirm transactions; misbehavior risks losing the stake. Far more energy-efficient than mining.
Proof of Work (PoW)

R
Rug Pull
A scam in which developers attract investment into a token or protocol, then drain the funds and abandon the project.
Rollup
A Layer 2 technique that bundles many transactions and posts a compressed proof to the main chain. Optimistic rollups assume validity and allow challenges; zero-knowledge (zk) rollups prove validity mathematically.
RWA (Real-World Asset) Tokenization
Representing traditional assets — real estate, bonds, treasuries, commodities — as blockchain tokens, enabling fractional ownership and 24/7 transferability.

Satoshi Nakamoto
The pseudonymous person or group who published the Bitcoin white paper in 2008 and launched the network in 2009. Their identity remains unknown.
Scam
Any fraudulent scheme in crypto — fake ICOs, phishing sites, Ponzi yields, impersonation, and rug pulls are common forms.
Security Token
A token that represents an investment contract or traditional security (equity, debt, revenue share) and falls under securities regulation.
Seed Phrase (Recovery Phrase)

A token pegged 1:1 to an asset from another chain (e.g., Wrapped Bitcoin on Ethereum), enabling that asset to be used in a foreign ecosystem.
Y
Yield Farming
Moving crypto between DeFi protocols to maximize returns from interest, fees, and token rewards — high potential yield, high risk.
Z
Zero-Knowledge Proof (ZKP)
A cryptographic method for proving a statement is true without revealing the underlying data — powering privacy tools and zk-rollup scaling.
