Volume

Volume in crypto refers to the total amount of an asset traded over a specific period of time. It reflects the level of market activity, showing how many tokens or coins were bought and sold — usually measured in the asset itself or in USD value. Volume is a key indicator

Whitepaper

A whitepaper is an authoritative document published by a blockchain project that outlines its vision, technology, tokenomics, and strategic roadmap. It serves as a foundational reference for potential users, investors, and developers to understand the purpose and mechanics of the project. In the crypto space, a whitepaper is often the

Wrapped Token

A wrapped token is a cryptocurrency that represents another crypto asset on a different blockchain, allowing it to be used in ecosystems where it is not natively supported. Wrapping enables cross-chain compatibility and enhances liquidity and utility across decentralized platforms. A wrapped token maintains a 1:1 peg with the

Web3

Web3 refers to the next generation of the internet built on decentralized technologies such as blockchains, smart contracts, and cryptographic protocols. Unlike Web2, which is dominated by centralized platforms (e.g. Facebook, Google, Amazon), Web3 enables users to own, control, and monetize their data, identities, and digital assets directly — without

Whales

Whales are individuals or entities that hold large amounts of a cryptocurrency, giving them the power to influence markets through their trades, transfers, or on-chain activity. Because of their size, whales can move prices, create volatility, and attract attention whenever they make significant moves. They exist in both Bitcoin and

Yield Aggregator

A yield aggregator is a DeFi protocol that automatically finds and executes the most profitable yield strategies for users by routing their crypto assets across different platforms. These protocols optimize returns by leveraging opportunities like staking, liquidity provision, yield farming, and reward compounding, without requiring users to manually manage their

Zero-Knowledge Rollup (zk-Rollup)

A zk-rollup (zero-knowledge rollup) is a Layer 2 scaling solution that bundles multiple transactions off-chain and posts a single cryptographic proof — called a zero-knowledge proof — to a Layer 1 blockchain like Ethereum. This proof validates the correctness of all transactions in the batch, enabling fast, secure, and low-cost transactions with
