General Web3 Glossary

In alphabetical order:

Airdrop: It happens when a project team sends cryptocurrencies or NFTs to a users’ account directly. From a receiver’s point of view, the action of an airdrop is free. It may be a gift to promote the project, a reward to users meeting some criteria, or the actual NFT delivery when users didn’t provide their crypto wallet address at the beginning. The last case usually happens when the project team targets less-experienced buyers and accepts fiat currencies for payments.

DAO (decentralized autonomous organization): A community with a common goal and is run without a leader. Members join the DAO by buying DAO tokens and later vote to decide whether to execute a proposal. The proposals and the purpose of a DAO are varied. For example, it may be increasing the issuance of its DAO token, hiring someone to work for the DAO, or even buying the US Constitution.

dAPP (decentralized application): An APP runs on a decentralized network so that no one has control over the data on the App. As long as users’ private keys are kept safe, there’s no need to worry about someone tampering with your information temper or leaking your data.

DeFi (decentralized finance): A collective term of FinTech applications run on the blockchain via smart contracts without any intermediaries. An example would be a crypto game with the play-to-earn model.

Doxing/Doxxing: Originally a derivative term from “docs.” It’s a disputable action that reveals someone’s private personal information on the internet.

Fairdrop: While an airdrop gives every qualified user the same amount of crypto assets, a fairdrop usually gives out proportional crypto assets based on the user’s crypto holdings from a snapshot.

GameFi (game finance): A game dAPP providing monetary incentives, such as P2E crypto games.

IRL (in real life): The opposite of the virtual world where Web3 applications reside, similar to “Meatspace.”

IYKYK (if you know, you know): A crypto slang indicating the message or post will only be understood by someone who already has the privilege to access the information.

Meatspace: Same as IRL, it’s the opposite of the virtual world.

Noob: The newbie of a project, it’s the opposite of an OG.

OG (original gangster): People who joined a project at a very early stage and communitiesusually treat them with respect. It’s the opposite of Noob.

P2E (play-to-earn): A type of game (GameFi) where players can earn crypto tokens directly or game props in NFTs form to ultimately exchange for real money.

Shill: It happens when someone promotes a crypto or NFT project on social media out of their interest. It may be for getting a whitelist or raising the price of a cryptocurrency.

Smart Contract: A set of codes that allows two parties to enter an agreement on the blockchain. A smart contract will be executed automatically when predetermined criteria are met. As there’s no intermediary during the entire process, no one can break the contract. Several insurance and lending companies are already exploring their applications in the Web3 domain.

Snapshot:It’s an action to record someone’s crypto holdings on a specific date, which can be used as a reference of an airdrop.

Crypto Slang

In alphabetical order:

Ape/Ape in: Like “all in,” this crypto slang means investing all your money in crypto or NFT projects. The origin was from an “apes together strong” meme.

ATH (all-time high): An acronym that refers to the highest asset price in history.

BTD (buy the dips): A crypto slang that encourages people to buy an asset even when its price is falling. It often comes from a crypto HODLer who believes in its long-term value.

DD (due diligence): The action to take before investing or purchasing anything to avoid lousy decision-making, often associated with DYOR.

Degen (degenerate): It refers to people who bet on risky crypto assets without doing DD or simply want to pump and dump.

Diamond Hands: Refer to HODLers who don’t sell their crypto assets even when their price is falling. The opposite group would be “Paper Hands.”

DYOR (do your own research): An crypto slang that advises people to do adequate research and DD before jumping into any crypto or NFT project.

FOMO (fear of missing out): It’s a state of anxiety where people constantly worry about missing good investment opportunities, popular project launches, or high-profile events. You can read the relevant Wikipedia page for more detail.

FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt): A strategy of spreading negative or false information to affect the price of a crypto or NFT project. It usually works when the price is dropping.

GMI/WAGMI (gonna make it/we all gonna make it): Acrypto slang works like a pep-talk slogan. An opposite term is NGMI (not gonna make it), a self-mocking statement after a wrong decision due to poor judgment.

HODL (hold on for dear life): A deliberately misspelled term from “HOLD.” It was a popularcrypto slang that was first mentioned in a Bitcoin forum back in 2013, and you can find the detailed story here. Although crypto players initially used the phrase, it’s also seen in NFT discussions lately.

LFG (Let’s F**** Go): A crypto slang used to cheer up others (usually to encourage people to invest), similar to the usage of GMI or WAMGI.

NFA (non-financial advice): An advice similar to DYOR, telling people to do the research themselves instead of blindly following others’ opinions.

Paper Hands: People who panic when the price is falling and quickly sell their crypto assets. The opposite group would be “Diamond Hands.”

Ponzi:It’s a form of financial fraud. A Ponzi scheme encourages people to invest early and get the profit out of the pockets of late joiners. The press sometimes compares crypto investment to a Ponzi scheme, especially when early players are more likely to pump and dump in P2E games or meme coins.

Pump and dump: A fraud action occurs when a group of people promotes crypto assets with false information and then quickly sell-off their assets so that innocent investors suffer losses due to a dramatic price drop.

REKT: A misspelling of “wrecked” that refers to a status of financially ruined, meaning someone experienced heavy losses in crypto space.

Rug Pull/Rug: It’s a scamming activity where the crypto or NFT project team abandons the project and runs away with the funds.

To the Moon:It’s a popular investment saying hoping that the price of a crypto asset can rise off the charts.

Whale: Investors or collectors who own a high-profile or large number of crypto assets. Crypto enthusiasts may follow the trades of such whale celebrities to get a headstart for a project, so a whale’s action may significantly impact the market.

NFT Need-To-Know

In alphabetical order:

AMA (ask me anything): NFT project teams sometimes hold AMA events on Discord or Twitter to answer NFT holders’ questions in real-time. It can be in either audio, text, or video format.

Burn: As every record on the blockchain is unchangeable, an NFT is theoretically undestroyable, too. However, an NFT project team can delete an NFT by sending it to a black hole (a burn address) where no one has access to it. The reasons for burning are varied. For instance, to fix some issues with the NFTs, replace NFTs with other digital assets, or eliminate outstanding NFTs (like a share repurchase in stocks) to increase scarcity and the value of remaining collections.

Flip: It refers to buying and selling NFTs for a profit in a short period, usually at the early stage of a project with mass speculative investors in the group.

Floor: Refer to the floor price of an NFT. It’s the lowest price among all the NFTs in that specific collection. It can be a popularity indicator for an NFT project.

PFP (profile picture): A form of NFT with an image of headshot, also called “Avatar NFT.”Many famous NFTs fall into this category, such as CryptoPunks, Bored Ape, and Demi-Human. Recently, Twitter announced a new feature to let users change their profile pictures to verified PFP NFTs.

Mystery Box/Blind Box: The random NFT in some projects where the NFT is unknown to the owner when making the purchase. The final NFT will be revealed after a specific date.

Mint: Buying an NFT in the primary market, you may need a whitelist before minting for a popular project.

OS (OpenSea): It’s the biggest NFT marketplace in the world at the moment.

POAP (Proof of Attendance Protocol): A round shape NFT issued by the hosting organization of a virtual or physical event. It runs on an Ethereum-based xDai chain where transactions cost very little or zero fees. POAP owners can demonstrate their collection in the POAP app like badges.

Sweep (the floor): It happens when someone purchases massive NFTs at the floor price. It can be done by the project team or a whale player.

Utility: It refers to the benefits of owning an NFT; it could be entering the network of those NFT KOLs, sharing a project’s profit with other community members, getting a discount from an alliance brand, you name it.

Whitelist: A whitelist is the right to mint an NFT in a primary market. Usually, the project team will set some criteria like inviting X friends to the Discord channel or reaching Y level in the group. One thing to note is that in some cases, a whitelist only gives people the right to mint during a particular time, but the minting itself is a first-come-first-serve basis.

Cryptocurrency Terminology

In alphabetical order:

DEX (decentralized exchange): An exchange allows direct peer-to-peer cryptocurrencies transaction. It’s the opposite of CEX. You can access a popular DEX list here.

Gas: The fee paid to miners for completing transactions on the blockchain. There may be a “gas war” during a popular NFT minting, as people need to pay a higher price to mint the NFT. Sometimes the minting gas may be even higher than the NFT market price.

IL (impermanent loss): The negative return happens when an LP tries to withdraw cryptocurrency, and the value is lower than when it’s staked.

LP (liquidity provider): People who provide liquidity on a DEX exchange for a reward via the act of crypto staking.

Meme Coin: A cryptocurrency usually originates from a meme or an internet joke.

Mining: On a POW blockchain, miners compete to solve computational math problems and the first problem-solver will earn a new block (coin).

MM (MetaMask): A popular crypto wallet run on Ethereum blockchain, can be used as a browser extension or an app.

POS (Proof of Stake): Blockchain protocol that works as a consensus mechanism where validators will be rewarded based on the portion of their cryptocurrency holdings. It operates faster and consumes less energy than the competitive POW protocol, as onlyrandomly-selected POS validators need to validate their staked assets. Popular POW platform includes Cosmos, Solana, and Tezos.

POW (Proof of work): Aconsensus mechanism in the blockchain where users need to make a computational effort to solve math problems. It consumes more energy than POS and is widely used in crypto mining and transaction validation. Familiar POW blockchains include Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Slippage: A term originated from future contracts, which refers to the price difference during a trade when the expected price of a crypto asset changes at execution. It can be either positive or negative.

Stake: It happens on POS blockchains when investors (LPs) commit coins (similar to deposits in a bank) to provide support/liquidity to the network. It helps validators to keep the blockchain safe and secured. The process is similar to mining on a POW network where miners are continuously verifying transactions on the ledger.

Validator: People who receive staked assets, perform assets validation, and earn cryptocurrencies.

Yield Farming: A DeFi action to stake cryptocurrencies at validators’ nodes to provide liquidity to the network and earn crypto assets. The return will depend on the liquidity need of that specific crypto pool.In some cases, investors may receive other cryptocurrencies as bonus bonding rewards.

Slippage/滑價: 從傳統金融機構的遠期合約或外匯交易衍生而來，指交易過程中預估的加密貨幣價格在最後執行時因市場波動發生改變，此變動對交易者來說可能有利也可能更不利。

Stake/質押: POS 區塊鏈上投資人 (LP) 綁定加密貨幣以提供流動性給特定資金池的行為 (類似銀行定存)，可以幫助驗證人維持該區塊鏈的穩定和安全。此過程類似 POW 鏈上的挖礦，因為後者的礦工也是持續進行分散式帳本的驗證。

Validator/驗證人: 指收取質押者的加密貨幣、進行加密資產驗證，並取得一定加密貨幣作為報酬的區塊鏈用戶。

Yield Farming/流動性挖礦: 一種 DeFi 運用，用戶將加密貨幣質押給驗證人的節點，為該區塊鏈提供流動性並獲取報酬。其投資報酬高低取決於該資金池對加密貨幣流動性的需求程度，在某些情況下投資人可能會得到不同於當初質押的加密貨幣幣種的額外加密貨幣作為加碼獎勵。
