Hyperledger
Open‑source umbrella for enterprise blockchain frameworks such as Fabric and Besu.
Entropy coding used by some layer‑2 systems to compress transaction data.
Wallet connected to the internet for convenience; higher attack surface than cold storage.
Security assumption that most stake, hashpower, or validators follow the protocol.
Encryption that allows limited computation on ciphertexts; fully homomorphic variants support arbitrary circuits.
Hierarchical deterministic wallet deriving many keys from a single seed using paths like m/44’/60′.
Physical device that stores private keys in a secure element and signs transactions offline.
Contract that locks funds with a hash and a timeout to enable atomic swaps or payment channels.
An input whose hash equals a given digest; revealing it unlocks HTLCs and commit‑reveal schemes.
