The process of locking cryptocurrency as collateral to participate in network consensus (validation) or to earn rewards. Stakers either run validators directly or delegate to existing validators. Staking provides economic security—validators risk losing staked tokens (slashing) for misbehavior. Annual staking yields typically range from 3-15% depending on the network.

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 SOL holder who delegates tokens to a validator's stake without running a node themselves. Delegators earn a share of inflation rewards proportional to their stake, minus the validator's commission (typically 0-10%). Delegation is non-custodial—the delegator retains the ability to redelegate or withdraw at any time.
A penalty mechanism in Proof of Stake systems where validators lose a portion of their staked tokens for provable misbehavior (double-signing, extended downtime, invalid attestations). Slashing provides economic disincentive against attacks. Ethereum slashes a minimum of 1/32 of stake; Solana's slashing is planned but not yet enforced on mainnet as of 2025.

The smallest indivisible unit of Bitcoin, equal to 0.00000001 BTC (one hundred-millionth of a bitcoin), named after Bitcoin's pseudonymous creator Satoshi Nakamoto. All Bitcoin amounts are internally represented as integer counts of satoshis, avoiding floating-point precision issues. The Ordinals protocol assigns unique serial numbers to individual satoshis, enabling them to carry inscribed data.
A blockchain's ability to handle increasing transaction volume without degrading performance or decentralization. The scalability trilemma posits that blockchains can optimize at most two of: decentralization, security, and scalability. Solutions include Layer 2 rollups, sharding, parallel execution (Solana's Sealevel), and modular architectures.

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.

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.
