Events

Terms

  • Blockchain

    A distributed ledger that links records cryptographically and uses shared validation and consensus rules to establish an accepted transaction history.

  • Dapp

    An application whose important state does not sit only in one operator's database. What counts as decentralized varies a lot between projects, so the useful question is which part is checkable by someone outside.
