An "index fund" is a mutual fund or exchange-traded fund that tries to replicate the returns of a market index. Index funds may strive to track market indexes such as the S&P 500 Index, and IC-15 etc.
An attacker uses a dusting attack to send small amounts of currency, known as "dust," to a significant number of crypto wallets. Attackers trace and analyze transaction data to determine individuals hidden behind wallet addresses. Some blockchains, such as Bitcoin, are pseudonymous, which means that once a user's identity is connected to a pseudonym, every blockchain activity conducted under that pseudonym may be traced back to them. A fraudster would frequently exploit the exposed transaction information in a malicious dusting attack to target an individual or organization via phishing, extortion, or intimidation. Government officials may also launch dusting operations to trace down questionable transactions from criminal organizations. Dust assaults can also be used by analytics and advertising firms. Following a dusting attack, hacked user information is exposed on the specific blockchain’s public ledger, and anyone can view it.
The Lightning Network is a blockchain transaction-speeding mechanism. Lightning networks are off-chain layers that are created on top of primary chains. The current Bitcoin lightning network was first proposed in 2015. The Lightning Network layer-2 protocol speeds up peer-to-peer payments by creating a network of bidirectional channels on a separate network of nodes that connects with the main chain. Lightning networks keep funds safe by generating multi-signature addresses with signed balance sheets that hold the funds of users. Two parties deposit funds at the designated addresses and conduct transactions with one another, the contents of which are recorded and signed on the relevant balance sheet. These transactions are kept off-chain until the channel is closed, at which point the remaining money is processed as a single transaction on the main chain The funds are then released from the address based on the current balance sheet. This process turns multiple small transactions into a single transaction on the blockchain.
A smart contract is a computer program or a transaction protocol that is designed to automatically execute, control, or document legally significant events and activities in accordance with the conditions of a contract, agreement, or negotiation.
Bitcoin halving is the halving of miner payouts on the Bitcoin network on a regular basis. Nodes are responsible for storing data and fulfilling the difficult computational demands required by the Proof of Work consensus mechanism on the Bitcoin network. There are only twenty-one million bitcoins that can be mined (approximately two million remain unmined). To curb inflation, the amount of Bitcoin given to miners is half every time around 200,000 more coins are created. Bitcoin halving occurrences are associated with considerable price volatility, with the price frequently remaining higher than it was. This price increase encourages miners to keep serving the network while earning fewer Bitcoins.
A Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) is a peer-to-peer organization that operates independently of an organizational ladder. DAOs are built on blockchains to protect organizations against falsification, enable trustless distribution, and improve security. Furthermore, DAOs enable the construction of collaborative, self-governing environments among peers. DAOs use crypto tokens to indicate network stakes and democratic powers. The DAO approach is built around automated smart contracts. These smart contracts communicate independently with one another using "if-then" code statements, enforcing the organization's laws. In theory, these automated contracts might replace the need for human employees by triggering anytime customers place orders, things run out of stock, or any other quantifiable input-based reaction is necessary.
