Faucet

A service that distributes free tokens on test networks (devnet/testnet) for development and testing. Solana's CLI includes `solana airdrop` which requests SOL from the devnet faucet (up to 2 SOL per request with rate limits). Web-based faucets also exist. Faucet tokens have no real value—they exist solely for testing purposes.

Estas ramas muestran qué conceptos toca este término directamente y qué existe una capa más allá de ellos.

Rama

Testnet / Devnet

Non-production blockchain networks used for development and testing. Tokens on these networks have no monetary value and can be obtained via faucets (airdrops). Solana operates devnet (development, frequently reset) and testnet (stress testing, closer to mainnet specs). Ethereum has Sepolia and Holesky testnets. Always test on devnet before deploying to mainnet.

Rama

Local Development (Localnet)

The practice of developing and testing Solana programs against a local validator (solana-test-validator) or in-process test harness (Bankrun, LiteSVM). Local development allows instant transaction confirmation, free airdrops, account cloning from mainnet, and rapid debugging. Programs are deployed locally before moving to devnet for integration testing.

Flipping

Buying an asset with the intent to sell it quickly at a higher price rather than holding long-term. Common in NFT launches where flippers mint at launch price and immediately list above mint price, and in token trading where the goal is to buy at launch and sell during the initial pump. Flipping requires speed and market timing rather than fundamental analysis.

Farcaster

A decentralized social media protocol where core identity (Farcaster IDs) is registered on-chain via smart contracts on Optimism, while social content is stored on a distributed network of hubs. Farcaster supports composable Frames for embedded applications within posts. The protocol raised $150 million at a $1B+ valuation in May 2024.

Web3

Web3

The vision of a decentralized internet built on blockchain technology, where users own their data, identity, and digital assets. Web1 was read-only (static pages), Web2 is read-write (platforms like social media), Web3 is read-write-own (permissionless, user-sovereign). Web3 applications use wallets instead of logins and smart contracts instead of centralized servers.

Web3

dApp (Aplicación Descentralizada)

An application with its backend logic running on a blockchain as smart contracts rather than centralized servers. dApps typically have a traditional web frontend that interacts with on-chain programs via RPC. Users authenticate with wallets instead of username/password. Examples: Uniswap (Ethereum DEX), Jupiter (Solana DEX), Magic Eden (NFT marketplace).

Web3

Billetera

Software or hardware that manages cryptographic keys and enables users to sign transactions, view balances, and interact with dApps. Hot wallets (Phantom, Solflare, Backpack) are internet-connected for convenience. Cold wallets (Ledger, Trezor) store keys offline for security. Wallets don't actually 'hold' tokens—they hold the private keys that control on-chain accounts.

Web3

Frase Semilla (Mnemónico)

A 12 or 24-word human-readable backup of a wallet's master private key, generated using BIP-39 standard. The seed phrase can deterministically regenerate all derived keypairs (BIP-44 derivation paths). Losing the seed phrase means permanently losing access to all associated accounts. Never share, photograph, or store seed phrases digitally in plain text.
