HODLing

The term "HODL" originated from a typo of "HOLD" (written in all capitals) in an early Bitcoin investor's online post. However, "HODL," as it has become famous among crypto fans, has evolved to signify "cling on for dear life." Crypto HODLers, like buy-and-hold stock investors, take satisfaction in "holding on" by refusing to sell their cryptocurrency regardless of what occurs in the crypto markets.

Hosted Wallet

Hosted wallets are digital cryptocurrency wallets provided by trusted third parties that keep users’ private keys and funds safe. These third parties are usually cryptocurrency exchanges. Coinbase and Binance are two well-known examples. Hosted wallets share similarities with centralized banking applications because they leverage two-factor authentication and password recovery. They are also custodial, meaning that users don’t retain control of their private keys. Less experienced traders often choose them as they are easy to set up and use. In addition, traders who regularly operate on centralized exchanges may opt for hosted wallets.

Hot Wallet

Hot wallets are Bitcoin wallets that are internet-connected. Cryptocurrency owners can choose from a variety of options. They may be accessed via the web, as well as mobile and desktop applications. Because of their ease of use, hot wallets attract less-experienced traders. Furthermore, habitual traders may choose to use hot wallets to achieve speedier transactions. They are, however, more susceptible to assaults than cold storage solutions. Safety measures such as two-factor authentication are frequently used to avoid hackers.

Huobi Global

Huobi Global is a cryptocurrency exchange that is centralized. Margin reading, trading bots, derivatives, futures, loans, a wallet, and other services are available. It is now one of the most popular exchanges in terms of market volume and capitalization. The Huobi ECO Chain is a blockchain (based on Ethereum) operated by Huobi. The Huobi Token is its native cryptocurrency (HT). Huobi, which was founded in China in 2013, has had difficulties as a result of the Chinese government's anti-cryptocurrency policies. After the Chinese government outlawed Bitcoin exchanges in 2017, Huboi briefly ceased Bitcoin trading. Huobi has now expanded abroad and is now publicly traded in Hong Kong.

Hybrid Blockchain

Hybrid blockchains incorporate elements of both public and private blockchains. This architecture provides structural flexibility in order to exploit the advantages of both blockchain types. On the same network, hybrid blockchains can have both private and public nodes. Member authorizations and duties can be regulated in a multimedia network, and data can be kept publicly or privately. To regulate the blockchain, hybrid blockchains may potentially employ democratic mechanisms. This sort of blockchain can give protection against some types of economic threats, as well as privacy and lower transaction costs. Ripple is a good example of a hybrid blockchain.

Hyperverse

The HyperVerse is one of several crypto initiatives focused on the metaverse. Meta Platforms, the Facebook parent company founded by Mark Zuckerberg, is focused on creating the metaverse – a virtual environment where individuals may work and play in their avatar form. Meta has invested billions of dollars in its metaverse project. If a person is unable to attend a physical church service, the firm has created a venue in the metaverse where they may do so.In the metaverse, you may buy a virtual plot of land and turn it into a business or residential property. As a result, the metaverse appears to be a massive economic potential. According to some estimates, the metaverse will be worth between $10 trillion and $30 trillion over the next decade.

Immutable X (IMX)

Immutable X is the first Layer-2 solution that is only dedicated on scaling Ethereum-based non-fungible tokens (NFTs). The necessity for scalable, rapid, and affordable NFT markets cannot be stressed enough as NFTs expand in the decentralized gaming and metaverse space. Immutable X may provide a feasible alternative for game creators wishing to mint millions of NFTs as in-game assets: no gas fees, instantaneous transactions, and all the security of the underlying Ethereum network owing to zk-Rollup technology.

Initial Coin Offering (ICO)

An initial coin offering (ICO), similar to an initial public offering (IPO) on the stock market, is a procedure through which firms or individuals gather funding to develop new blockchain applications, cryptocurrency, or financial services. It is a type of crowdsourcing in which investors may purchase tokens generated by a corporation. These tokens are used to represent an interest in a company or a future product or service as a potential investment. IPOs often employ "white papers," which outline what is on sale and how the ICO will operate. If the fund criteria are not satisfied and the ICO fails, investors' money is refunded. ICOs, on the other hand, are frequently unregulated, and investors should conduct due research before investing.

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.

Internet of Things (IoT)

Internet access is no longer confined to your computer or mobile device; wristwatches, door locks, refrigerators, and other items are becoming internet-enabled. This network of interconnected items and gadgets exchanges data and feeds new applications for consumers, businesses, and governments. It's been dubbed the "Internet of Things." Once limited to items having an internet connection, the Internet of Things has evolved as a category to cover a variety of technologies that enhance network applications, such as real-time analytics and machine learning artificial intelligence. The most well-known example of IoT today is smart home technology, which includes gadgets like lights, thermostats, and security systems that a homeowner can operate via their smartphone.

Lambo

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.

Launchpool

A Launchpool is also a fundraising platform used by crypto startups to raise funds by inviting investors to deposit their crypto holdings into a capital pool. In return, the investors can earn interest on the amount of crypto they deposit. It fills the gap between investors, project owners, the community, specialists, and general market players to aid in the development of innovative initiatives for the future. 

Light Wallet

Light wallets, also known as lightweight wallets, are crypto wallets that operate on light nodes. A blockchain's nodes are distinct units. Every node runs its own machine. Full nodes download and validate the whole blockchain of which they are a part, whereas light nodes simply get some blockchain data. By connecting with the blockchain, light wallets provide capabilities equal to full nodes. As a result, light wallets are not trustless and provide less privacy and security than their full node counterparts. Light wallets take up less space on customers' computers since they only download a minimal quantity of blockchain data. Furthermore, they are simpler to set up and are frequently the recommended wallet type for mobile and desktop devices.

Lightning Network

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.

Limit order

An instruction given by an investor when making a buy or sell order on the market; it establishes the highest price they are willing to pay (for purchase orders) or the lowest price for which they will accept to sell (orders).

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.

Liquidity Providers

Decentralized exchange users who deposit their cryptocurrencies into liquidity pools are known as liquidity providers. Liquidity pools are cryptocurrency supply pools maintained by decentralized exchanges to boost transaction efficiency. Exchanges compensate liquidity providers with transaction fees from activities that use a liquidity pool, and incentives are distributed based on the amount of money a user has pooled. Using smart contracts, liquidity providers' funds are locked into the pool. Pools are permissionless, which means that anybody can contribute to them. There is one significant disadvantage to liquidity pools. Providers face irreversible loss if the value of their locked-in funds changes and they are unable to exchange them.

Litecoin

Litecoin is a well-known cryptocurrency. When it was first released in 2011, its inventors hoped to build a creative, fair, and secure money that could serve as the "silver to Bitcoin's gold." Litecoin, like Bitcoin, employs the Proof of Work consensus process. Litecoin, on the other hand, has faster transactions and a greater currency generation rate than Bitcoin. Litecoin has the most comprehensive Scrypt-based blockchain in the world and is now one of the top twenty most valuable cryptocurrencies in terms of market value.
