Glossary¶
Account
A client data set which is stored in database and used for client identification
Alias
A user’s login associated with his address as a result of the transaction, the result of which is used to record the alias address matching in the database, and it is possible to specify this alias in the subsequent transactions
Anonymous network
Unpermissioned public blockchain which can be accessed by any participant as an anonymous person
Blockchain
A decentralized, distributed and public digital ledger that is used to record in such way that any involved record cannot be altered retroactively, without the alteration of all subsequent blocks
Genesis block
The first block in the blockchain which contains special genesis transactions distributing the initial balance and permissions
Access group
A table inside the node state containing the net participants list which can exchange the privacy data according to this policy
Cryptocurrency
A form of digital currency based on encryption algorithms and ran inside decentralized platforms built on the blockchain
Consensus
The way to agree on a single point of the data value in a network between participants
Mining
The process by which transactions are verified and added to a blockchain
Mainnet
A real network where transactions are executing, tokens are issuing and storing
Node
A computer which is ran the node software and connected to the blockchain network
Peer
A net address of the node
Private key
A privately held string of data that allows you to sign transactions and to get access to tokens. The private key is inextricably bound to the public key
Public network
Permissioned public blockchain where each participant is known and registered in the network
Public key
A string of data bound with the private key and used for interactions with net participants. The public key is applied to transactions to confirm the correctness of the user’s signature made on the private key
Public address
A public address is the cryptographic hash of a public key and a net byte. They act as email addresses that can be published anywhere, unlike private keys
Swagger
API tool
Seed phrase
A set from 24 accidentally chosen words for restoring the access to the tokens
Smart account

Gateway
The app for tokens transfer from one blockchain net to another one
Airdrop
A distribution of cryptocurrency to users, entirely for free
PoS (Proof-of-Stake)
A consensus algorithm based on the stake which is used for choosing the node for checking transactions and generating a new block
PoA (Proof-of-Authority)
A consensus algorithm in a private blockchain that grants to the most authority nodes the right to check transactions and generate a new block
