The next web, explained in plain English
Supply schedule for NACKL designed to decrease issuance over time while revenues accumulate in the Accumulator.
Computed as Accumulator contents divided by NACKL supply. Increases as revenues accrue and supply decreases.
Probabilistic consensus used in Proof of Work networks where the longest valid chain wins based on accumulated work.
On‑chain registry that maps human‑readable names to addresses and metadata, improving UX.
Task of labeling spans in text as people, organizations, places, or other entity types.
Game‑theory state where no participant benefits by changing strategy alone, key for mechanism design.
The primary asset of a chain, used for fees, staking, security, and governance on that network.
Indexing and retrieval to find closest vectors in embedding space, used in RAG and similarity search.
Training trick that samples incorrect targets to approximate softmax or learn contrasts efficiently.
Neural representation that models 3D scenes from 2D images for novel view synthesis.
The value of a protocol increases as more users, developers, and liquidity join and interact.
Principle that SHELL pricing should reflect real costs for Block Keepers, including electricity, bandwidth, and hardware amortization.
Parameterized function composed of layers and non‑linearities trained by gradient descent.
Unique token that represents ownership of a distinct asset, often linked to media, game items, or identity.
Token standard for unique digital items, often representing art, in‑game assets, tickets, or identity primitives.
Non‑interactive proofs of proof‑of‑work that let lightweight clients verify chain work succinctly.
Zero‑knowledge proof where interaction between prover and verifier is removed using a common reference string.
A participant in a peer‑to‑peer network that validates, relays, or produces blocks.
A person or service that runs and maintains blockchain nodes for staking, validation, or indexing.
Wallet where the user controls private keys directly without a third party; keys never leave the device.
Behavior that can vary run‑to‑run, avoided in smart contracts to keep consensus deterministic.
A proof that a key or value is not present in a set or Merkle structure.
A number used once in mining or per‑account sequence to make transactions unique and ordered.
Repeating a nonce with the same key leaks secrets in signatures like ECDSA, enabling key recovery.
Techniques like batch norm or layer norm that stabilize and speed up training.
Non‑relational databases such as key‑value stores used by nodes and indexers for performance.
Unique value derived in privacy protocols to prevent double spending while preserving anonymity.
