Top Terms

Blockchains

Record-keeping technology where transactions and data are grouped into blocks and permanently linked in a chain with unique identifiers – like fingerprints.

Centralized Exchange (CEX)

An app or website for buying and selling crypto, where a company manages your account, handles the transactions and often stores your crypto.

DYOR

Market Order

Memecoins

A cryptocurrency created for humor or from internet culture. Their prices can rise and fall with hype, and they don’t normally have real-world uses.

Private Key

A unique code that protects access to your crypto. It’s generated using random numbers and is impossible to guess - like a super strong password. Keep it safe and never share it.

Stablecoins

Wallet
