Composability in Web3 means smart contracts can call each other and combine like Lego bricks, so apps reuse code and liquidity on one chain.

A blockchain fork is a rule change that splits or redirects a network's history. Hard forks create two chains, and your wallet decides what to credit.

A security token is a blockchain token that stands for an investment or financial claim. US law usually applies securities rules, and the Howey test decides.

A crypto market cycle usually has four stages: accumulation, uptrend, distribution, and downtrend. Stage lengths vary and crypto trades around the clock.

On-chain governance lets token holders vote on blockchain proposals that can change a protocol's rules. Learn how votes, quorum and execution work.

Permissionless access in crypto means anyone can use a blockchain without approval. It relies on public ledgers and open protocols, not identity checks.

Censorship resistance means no single actor can block valid crypto transactions unless it controls most block production. Rules can change it.

A crypto node is a computer that keeps a copy of a blockchain and checks its rules. It relays transactions and rejects blocks that break the rules.

A block confirmation means a transaction is included in a block on the blockchain. Each later block adds one, making a reversal harder over time.

New cryptocurrencies are launched by deploying code to a blockchain or starting a new network. US securities, money-transmitter and tax rules can apply.

Trustless means you do not rely on a bank or company to verify crypto transactions. Public ledgers and consensus rules let many computers agree.

Check who runs nodes, produces blocks, controls upgrades and holds tokens. Decentralization varies by function, so record findings and recheck later.
By Vahe HakobyanRead
Decentralization in crypto means no single company or person controls the network. Nodes, validators, and users share that control in different ways.
By Vahe HakobyanRead
A hard fork is a permanent rule change that can split a blockchain in two. Your old coins stay put, and forked coins you control count as income.
By Vahe HakobyanRead
A crypto mainnet is the live blockchain where real transactions settle. Testnets use worthless coins, and confirmed payments cannot be undone.
By Vahe HakobyanRead
A token generation event launches a project's own token and first gives out its supply through a sale, an airdrop or a listing, with vesting to watch.
By Vahe HakobyanRead
A soft fork is a backward-compatible rule change on a crypto network: old nodes still accept new blocks, while miners enforce the tighter rules.
By Vahe HakobyanRead
A nonce is a per-account counter that orders and identifies each transaction on account-based blockchains like Ethereum; a gap stalls the ones that follow.
By Vahe HakobyanRead
Crypto transactions take longer when demand for block space exceeds network capacity. Miners or validators pick which pending transactions confirm first.
By Vahe HakobyanRead
You verify a crypto transaction by pasting its hash into the explorer for that network, then checking status, confirmations, and the addresses.
