blockchain

A crypto wallet is a tool for managing digital assets: it stores the access keys to your coins and lets you send and receive transfers on the blockchain network.

Crypto anarchists are supporters of the idea that cryptography and the internet can protect private life from state control and ensure citizens' personal freedom.

A dev is a colloquial name for a developer, that is, a specialist who creates and maintains the code of cryptocurrencies, blockchain protocols, wallets, and related applications. The development of a project largely depends on devs.

Proof of Stake is a consensus algorithm in which the right to create blocks depends on the number of coins locked by a participant rather than on computing power.

Proof of Work is a consensus algorithm in which the right to add a block and receive a reward depends on the amount of computational work done to find a hash.

Proof of Activity is a hybrid consensus algorithm that combines the Proof of Work and Proof of Stake mechanisms to increase the security and resilience of the network.

Proof-of-Burn is a consensus algorithm in which a participant irreversibly destroys a portion of coins in order to earn the right to create blocks and claim a reward in the network.

Proof of Capacity is a consensus algorithm in which miners use free space on storage drives instead of energy-intensive computations, which makes mining coins cheaper and more environmentally friendly.

Proof of Importance is a consensus algorithm that takes into account not only the size of the balance but also a participant's activity in the network when distributing the right to create blocks.

Proof-of-Storage is a mechanism in which participants provide disk space for shared data, and the network confirms that the files are indeed reliably stored.
