Basic Attention Token (BAT)

The Basic Attention Token is an ERC-20 complacent Etheruem-based token. Brenden Eich, the co-founder of Mozilla and creator of JavaScript, developed the BAT in 2017. The coin has practical uses for publishers, marketers, and Brave browser users. Brave is an open-source, decentralized initiative that uses its private browser to provide more equitable and targeted digital advertising. Advertisers pay for the publication of their advertisements and are rewarded with BATs based on interaction. Brave browser users may earn BATs by watching tailored advertisements and then use the tokens to reward others.

Other Important Terms

Liquidity Pool

A liquidity pool is a cryptocurrency supply that a decentralized exchange uses to keep its liquidity and asset prices stable. Traditionally, exchanges complete each crypto transaction using peer-to-peer transfers. Price slippage can occur as a result of this sequential "order book" approach. Furthermore, due to a lack of peers, a tiny, decentralized exchange with few users will have poor liquidity. This makes trading untrustworthy. Decentralized exchanges address these concerns by establishing liquidity pools. Currency stores enable exchange users to lock their monies in order to build a consistent supply of assets. Traders can then conduct transactions with the pool at any moment, increasing liquidity. Smart contracts are used to automate liquidity pools. Liquidity providers are users who offer their currency to the liquidity pool. They are rewarded with transactions fees on the blockchain.

Solidity

Initially proposed in 2014, Solidity is a Turing-complete programming language used in the creation of smart contracts. It is a statically typed, object-oriented, curly-bracket language that supports inheritance, libraries, user-defined types, and more. Ethereum’s Solidity team developed the language to be used on the Ethereum Virtual Machine.

Quantum-proof

A blockchain that is immune to quantum computer attacks. Quantum computers are still not fully functional, but they have progressed to the point where it is expected that they will be implemented in the future, making current encryption methods like SHA-256 (on which Bitcoin is based) vulnerable to them due to their ability to break through cryptography codes much faster than traditional computing.

The Sandbox (SAND)

The Sandbox is a community-driven, decentralized virtual environment where creators can create, share, and trade in-world assets. The Sandbox metaverse is one of several blockchain-based virtual worlds proposing to alter the dynamics of the game sector by rewarding creators for the values they make through user-generated content.

Initial Dex Offering (IDO)

decentralized Initial dex offerings, or IDOs, are tokens that represent any sort of asset hosted on a decentralised exchange (DEX). An IDO occurs when a project debuts a token via a decentralized liquidity exchange. IDOs may be constructed for anything ranging from cryptocurrencies to a music CD to aether-powered combat ships. IDOs provide companies with a mechanism for engaging their communities in an economy that both enhance their products and services and allows them to make sound business decisions about their assets.
