Arbitrage is the trading style of quickly buying and selling the same coin on different markets in order to profit from the price difference with low risk

Arbitrum is a technology suite designed to scale Ethereum. You can use Arbitrum chains to do all things you do on Ethereum — use Web3 apps, deploy smart contracts, but your transactions will be cheaper and faster. Their flagship product — Arbitrum Rollup — is an Optimistic rollup protocol that inherits Ethereum-level security.

Protocols that put your investment to work by intesting in strategies and tokens with the aim of optimising returns. Note: past performance is not a sure indicator of future performance

The process of reviewing a blockchain project's code, particularly its smart contracts, to ensure security and correctness. Conducted by independent security firms or experts, audits aim to identify vulnerabilities, bugs, and compliance with best practices before the code is deployed. This process helps to prevent hacks, scams, and loss of funds, increasing trust and reliability in the DeFi or blockchain project among users and investors.

Base is built as an Ethereum L2 on the OP stack, with the security, stability, and scalability you need to power your dapps. Confidently deploy any EVM codebase and onramp your users and assets from Ethereum L1, Coinbase, and other interoperable chains.

Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency, created in 2009 by an unknown person using the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto. It allows for peer-to-peer transactions without a central authority, using blockchain technology for security. Transactions are verified by network nodes and recorded in a public ledger. Bitcoin can be exchanged for goods, services, NFTs, or other currencies.

Imagine blockchain as a magical notebook that everyone can write in, but no one can erase or change what was written before. Every time someone wants to add something new, like saying they gave some digital coins to a friend, everyone checks to make sure it's true. Then, they add it to their own notebook. This notebook is shared and checked by lots of people to make sure everything written is correct and safe, making it a very special and trustworthy notebook.

Bridge your tokens from one chain to another. Always make sure you do a small test first if you're just starting out – or moving large amounts.

Centralized Exchanges where people can buy and sell crypto. When you deposit on a centralised exchange you receive an IOU for your tokens, which shows up as your wallet balance. When your tokens are held on a centralised exchange, you don't physically own them – the exchange does, and you may lose them

A crypto blockchain is a secure, digital record of transactions shared across many computers. Different chains serve various needs: Ethereum supports smart contracts for complex apps, Arbitrum and Optimism improve speed and reduce costs, and Base focuses on scalability. This variety allows for specialized uses and innovations in the crypto space.

Crypto climate projects like KlimaDAO aim to combat climate change using blockchain technology. They operate by tokenizing carbon credits, creating a digital currency that represents a reduction in carbon emissions. This approach incentivizes individuals and companies to participate in carbon offsetting, effectively turning the reduction of greenhouse gases into a marketable commodity that can be traded, encouraging more investments in environmental sustainability.

Cryptocurrency is like digital money you can use to buy things or trade, but it's special because it doesn't belong to any country or bank. Imagine you have a secret code that lets you use this digital money. Because it's digital, you can send it to anyone in the world without needing a middleman like a bank. It's like having a magic wallet that no one else can see or touch, but you can use it to pay for things or trade with friends.

A DAO is like a club where everyone gets to make decisions together, without having a boss. Imagine you and your friends have a lemonade stand, but instead of one person deciding everything, you all vote on what to do, like how much to charge or when to open. Everything you decide together is written down in a magic book that makes sure everyone follows what was agreed upon. This way, the lemonade stand works fairly because everyone has a say.

When represented visually, data can begin to become more clear to the viewer – allowing them to form a picture in their mind of what can often be large data sets. For some nice examples see [informationisbeautiful.net](https://informationisbeautiful.net)

DeFi, or Decentralized Finance, uses blockchain to create a financial system where you can lend, borrow, save, and earn interest on your money directly over the internet, without needing banks or other middlemen. It operates with cryptocurrencies and smart contracts, making transactions automatic and secure. DeFi gives you more control over your finances and can offer higher returns, but it comes with higher risks due to its volatility and lack of regulation.

Look! A special toy box full of DeFi tools. These are like magic keys and maps that help people play and explore in the big digital treasure chest of DeFi, where they can lend, borrow, and save their digital coins. Imagine having a magical compass that shows you where to find hidden treasures or a spyglass to look closely at your coins. These tools make the adventure safer, easier, and more fun for everyone in the digital playground.

In context of Ethereum and similar dApp networks, gas refers to the cost to perform a transaction on the network.

On various protocols, the inflation is going to users who provide liquidity. This usage is measured with gauges. Often, the liquidity gauge measures how much a user is providing in liquidity. Each gauge also has a weight and a type. Those weights represent how much of the inflation will be received by the liquidity gauge.

Crypto governance refers to the mechanisms and rules that govern decentralized networks and blockchain protocols. It involves the processes through which decisions are made within these systems, such as protocol upgrades, changes to the network, and the management of resources. Governance models can vary widely, from on-chain mechanisms like voting with cryptocurrency tokens to off-chain approaches involving discussions and decisions made by core developer teams or community consensus.

Leverage allows traders to borrow money from the exchange in order to amplify the potential gains or losses

Liquidity is the abundance of a cryptocurrency in a market - the more liquid a coin is, the easier it is to buy or sell it without affecting its price

Short for Liquidity Provider or Liquidity Provision

Margin trading essentially means exchanging coins with borrowed money, with the goal of amplified gains or losses.

The term market maker refers to a firm or individual who actively quotes two-sided markets in a particular security by providing bids and offers (known as asks) along with the market size of each. Market makers provide liquidity and depth to markets and profit from the difference in the bid-ask spread.

A memecoin is a cryptocurrency born from internet memes, driven more by social media rather than technical innovation. These coins usually lack significant utility but can see rapid price changes due to hype and speculative trading.

Crypto spot trading is like buying and selling your favorite video games online, but instead, you're trading digital money, like Solana. You pay the current price (or "spot" price) and own the digital money right away. If you buy some and its price goes up, you can sell it for more than you paid. It's all about timing and guessing which way the price will go.

Liquid staking is a DeFi innovation that lets users stake assets in proof-of-stake networks to earn rewards, while receiving a liquid token representing their staked position. This token can be used across DeFi, providing liquidity without unstaking the original assets.

Crypto futures are like making a promise to buy or sell digital money (like Bitcoin) at a future date for a price you agree on now. It's like betting on the price of your favorite video game. If you think the price will go up, you make a deal to buy it cheaper later. If you're right, you get the game cheaper than everyone else. But if the price goes down, you still have to buy it at the higher price you agreed on.
