Account Abstraction

Account Abstraction proposes having more flexibility in the process for validating a transaction on the blockchain:

Accounts and Addresses

Where ETH is stored. Users can initialize accounts, deposit ETH into the accounts, and transfer ETH from their accounts to other users.

Blockchain Nodes

A distributed network of computers that can validate blocks and transaction data by executing software.

Blockchain Rollups

Rollups perform transaction execution outside the main Ethereum blockchain and send the transaction data back to the main Ethereum network.

Bridges

To transfer assets between blockchains requires interoperability via blockchain (cross-chain) bridges.

Chainalysis

Chainalysis supports governments to prevent and investigate crime and money laundering.

Cryptographic Hash

Cryptographic hash functions play the critical role in providing the foundations of trust in systems that are completely neutral and resistant to censorship or bribes.

Data Availability

In order to ensure blockchains remain trustless and verifiable by all, a blockchain must ensure that all relevant data about a transaction is publicly shared with all network participants.

Dune Analytics

A tool that allows you to query the blockchain and create dashboards to visualise the data.

EIP Standards

Proposals for engineering updates to the blockchain.

Ethereum

Website | Whitepaper | Tokenomics.

Ethereum Virtual Machine

The Ethereum Virtual Machhine (EVM) functions as a world computer that powers decentralized applications (dApps) running on the Ethereum blockchain.

IoTex

Building The Connected World

Maximal Extractable Value

Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) refers to a strategy to include, omit, or reorder transactions when making a new block to maximise profit.

Merkle Tree

Merkle Trees are a cryptographic commitment scheme frequently used in blockchain applications.

Oracle Nodes

An oracle serves as a bridge between the blockchain and the real world.

PoS vs PoW

With Proof of Stake instead of miners competing for a block reward, validators will be paid to secure the network.

Solana

Hardware integration optimisation driven.

Space and Time

Space and Time blockchain data warehouseing with proof-of-sql.

Staking

Proof-of-stake blockchains, in which users are compensated for pledging their tokens to the network in exchange for security.

Subgraphs

The Graph is a protocol for building decentralized applications on Ethereum and IPFS using GraphQL. The protocol enables developers to browse through APIs, referred to as subgraphs, and query blockchain data quickly.

Tezos

A blockchain designed to evolve.

Worldcoin

Worldcoin.org co-founded by Sam Altman.

Zero Knowledge

Commitment to aligned intentions with succinct communication is power.
