Encyclopedia

Crypto Wiki

A comprehensive encyclopedia of cryptocurrency, mining, and data center terminology

Bitcoin

Bitcoin is the first and most widely adopted decentralized cryptocurrency, operating on a peer-to-peer network secured by proof-of-work mining. It was created in 2009 by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto.

Ethereum

Ethereum is a decentralized computing platform that enables smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps). It transitioned from proof-of-work to proof-of-stake consensus in September 2022.

Litecoin

Litecoin is a peer-to-peer cryptocurrency created as a lighter, faster alternative to Bitcoin. It uses the Scrypt hashing algorithm and offers 4x faster block times.

Dogecoin

Dogecoin is a Scrypt-based cryptocurrency originally created as a joke but which grew into one of the most widely recognized digital currencies, known for its active community and tipping culture.

Kaspa

Kaspa is a proof-of-work cryptocurrency implementing the GHOSTDAG protocol, enabling high block rates and near-instant transaction confirmations while maintaining full decentralization.

Stablecoin

A stablecoin is a type of cryptocurrency designed to maintain a stable value relative to a reference asset, typically a fiat currency like the US dollar. They are widely used as a medium of exchange and settlement layer in crypto markets.

Token

A token is a digital asset created and managed on an existing blockchain platform, as opposed to coins like Bitcoin that operate on their own native blockchain. Tokens can represent anything from utility rights to ownership shares.

Zcash

Zcash is a privacy-focused cryptocurrency that uses zero-knowledge proofs (zk-SNARKs) to enable fully shielded transactions where the sender, recipient, and amount remain encrypted on the blockchain.
