AI & ML

A technique combining retrieval of external knowledge with text generation, allowing LLMs to access up-to-date information.

Overfitting

AI & ML

When a model learns the training data too well, including noise and outliers, causing poor performance on new data.

Tokenization

AI & ML

The process of breaking down text into smaller units (tokens) that can be processed by a language model.

Latency

Proof of Work

Blockchain

A consensus mechanism where miners compete to solve complex mathematical puzzles to validate transactions and add new blocks.

Smart Contract

Blockchain

Self-executing contracts with terms directly written into code, automatically enforcing and executing agreements without intermediaries.

Liquidity Pool

DeFi

A collection of funds locked in a smart contract used to facilitate decentralized trading and lending without traditional order books.

Token Vesting

Gas Fee

Blockchain

A fee paid to compensate network validators for the computing energy required to process and validate transactions on Ethereum.

NFT (Non-Fungible Token)

Blockchain

A unique digital asset verified using blockchain technology, where each token is one-of-a-kind and cannot be replicated.

Consensus Mechanism

Blockchain

A protocol that ensures all nodes in a blockchain network agree on the same version of the distributed ledger.

Fork

Blockchain

A change to a blockchain's protocol, either soft (backward-compatible) or hard (non-backward-compatible), creating protocol divergence.

Whitepaper

Blockchain

A technical document released by a blockchain project explaining its technology, use case, tokenomics, and development roadmap.

Bridge

Blockchain

A protocol enabling assets or data to be transferred between two separate blockchain networks.

Seed Phrase

Blockchain

A series of 12-24 randomly generated words that act as the master key to recover a cryptocurrency wallet.

AMM (Automated Market Maker)

DeFi

A decentralized exchange protocol using mathematical formulas to price assets instead of traditional buy/sell order books.

Yield Farming

DeFi

A strategy of moving crypto assets between protocols to maximize returns through transaction fees, interest, and governance tokens.

Staking

DeFi

The process of locking cryptocurrency in a protocol to support network operations, earning rewards in return.

TVL (Total Value Locked)

DeFi

The total capital deposited into a DeFi protocol, used as a key metric to measure a protocol's adoption and health.

Impermanent Loss

DeFi

A temporary loss experienced by liquidity providers when the price ratio of deposited assets changes compared to when they were deposited.

Governance Token

DeFi

A cryptocurrency that grants holders voting rights on protocol decisions, upgrades, and treasury management.

Automated management of containerized applications across multiple hosts, handling deployment, scaling, and networking.

Infrastructure as Code

DevOps

Managing and provisioning computing infrastructure using machine-readable configuration files rather than manual processes.

Blue-Green Deployment

DevOps

A deployment strategy maintaining two identical environments, switching traffic between them to enable zero-downtime releases.

Canary Release

DevOps

Gradually rolling out new software to a small subset of users before deploying to the entire user base.

Observability

Architecture

A form of asynchronous service-to-service communication used to decouple applications and handle traffic spikes.

Monolith

Architecture

An application where all components are interconnected and deployed as a single unit, contrasted with microservices.

CQRS

Architecture

Command Query Responsibility Segregation — a pattern separating read and write operations into different models for performance optimization.

Tech Debt

Engineering

The implied cost of future rework caused by choosing a quick solution now instead of a better, more maintainable approach.

Code Review

Sprint

Engineering

A time-boxed iteration (typically 1-4 weeks) in Scrum where a team completes a set amount of work.

Rubber Duck Debugging

Engineering

A method of debugging by explaining code line-by-line to an inanimate object, which forces articulation of assumptions.
