The base cryptocurrency of a blockchain network that is used to pay transaction fees, participate in consensus (staking), and compensate validators for securing the network. Native tokens are protocol-level assets — not created by smart contracts — and their issuance is governed by the blockchain's monetary policy. Examples: SOL (Solana), ETH (Ethereum), BTC (Bitcoin).

The native token of the Solana blockchain, used for paying transaction fees, staking, and rent. 1 SOL equals 1 billion lamports. SOL has an inflationary supply schedule starting at 8% annually, decreasing by 15% per year, with a long-term floor of 1.5%. Transaction base fees (5,000 lamports) are partially burned.
A unit measuring the computational effort required to execute operations on a blockchain. On Ethereum, gas is priced in gwei (10^-9 ETH) and varies with network demand. Users set gas limits and gas prices; unused gas is refunded. Solana uses 'compute units' as its equivalent, with much lower costs (~$0.00025 per transaction vs. $1-100+ on Ethereum).
The cost paid by the sender to have a transaction processed and included in a block. Fees compensate validators/miners for computation and prevent spam. Fee models vary: Ethereum uses dynamic gas pricing (EIP-1559 base fee + tip), Solana uses base fee (5,000 lamports) + optional priority fee, Bitcoin uses fee-per-byte.

An Ethereum standard that assigns a smart contract account (wallet) to every ERC-721 NFT, enabling NFTs to own other tokens, NFTs, and interact with protocols directly. Token-bound accounts (TBAs) are created through a permissionless registry using CREATE2 for deterministic addresses. Use cases include gaming inventories, bundled DeFi positions tradable as single NFTs, and identity-linked portfolios.
A token that grants holders voting power over protocol decisions. Governance tokens enable decentralized control of DeFi protocols, DAOs, and blockchain parameters. Examples on Solana: JUP (Jupiter), MNDE (Marinade), RAY (Raydium). Voting power is typically proportional to token holdings, though some systems use quadratic voting or delegation.

A distributed, append-only ledger that records transactions in cryptographically linked blocks. Each block contains a hash of the previous block, forming an immutable chain. Nodes in the network maintain copies of the ledger and reach agreement through consensus mechanisms. Blockchains enable trustless, decentralized record-keeping without a central authority.
The protocol by which nodes in a distributed network agree on the current state of the ledger. Common mechanisms include Proof of Work (Bitcoin), Proof of Stake (Ethereum, Solana), and BFT variants. Consensus ensures all honest nodes converge on the same transaction history despite potential network delays or malicious actors.
A consensus mechanism where validators are selected to produce blocks based on the amount of cryptocurrency they have staked (locked) as collateral. PoS is energy-efficient compared to Proof of Work. Misbehaving validators risk losing their stake (slashing). Solana, Ethereum (post-Merge), Cosmos, and Cardano use PoS variants.
A consensus mechanism where miners compete to solve computationally expensive puzzles to produce blocks and earn rewards. PoW provides strong security (51% attack resistance) but is energy-intensive. Bitcoin and pre-Merge Ethereum use PoW. The difficulty adjusts to maintain target block times regardless of total network hash power.
