{{comment|The purpose of this page is to collect and present '''brief definitions of terms used in texts about [[DecimalChain]], blockchains, and cryptocurrencies'''. Full articles are great (that's why we started this project), but some beginners may find it more convenient to start with a simple short explanation.|Please note that this compilation is aimed at the meta-level, not the project level, so terms related to the operation of the [[Decimal Wiki]] site (e.g., "administrator", "wikification", etc.) should not be included here. To familiarize yourself with them, visit our [[DecimalWiki:Help|Help section]].}}

'''[[Build]]''' — literally means «assembly». That is, a build is the working products obtained from source code.

<div class="level1">
That is, the build stands the working products obtained from the sources.
'''Blockchain''' is a decentralized database in which all records (blocks) are interconnected by means of cryptography.
'''Broadcast''' is a Decimal service that allows you to create a transaction offline and then send it to the blockchain network.
'''Validator''' is a Decimal user involved in establishing consensus.
'''Verification''' is a method of recognition for compliance with the truth
'''Delegate''' is a Decimal user who entrusts his coins to the validator and receives a proportional part of the reward for this.
'''Custom coin''' — any coin created by a user on the Decimal network
'''A coiner''' is a Decimal user who issues his own coin.
'''Custodial wallet''' is a method of storing funds in which the private keys of crypto addresses are owned by the service provider.
'''Consensus''' is the fact of approval of consent between participants in a non—trusting environment.
'''Mathematical essence''' is an abstract concept that arises in mathematics. This is all that is formally defined and with the help of which deductive reasoning and mathematical proofs can be carried out.
'''A coin''' is an electronic unit of value that is cryptographically protected and exists in the blockchain.
'''Minting''' is a method and process of generating/issuing new coins in exchange for organizing and maintaining the Decimal network, namely, establishing consensus by voting.
'''Mining''' is a method and process of generating/issuing new coins through solving computational problems.
'''Masternode''' is a node of the Decimal network that stores a replica of the blockchain and participates in establishing consensus.
'''Native token/coin''' is the basic and key coin of the blockchain.
'''A non—custodial wallet''' is a method of storing funds in which the private keys of crypto addresses are exclusively owned by the owner of these funds.
'''Optimization''' is the choice of the best option possible to achieve the greatest efficiency of a process.
'''Confirmation''' is the process of approving a transaction and writing it to the block chain.
'''Throughput''' is a metric characteristic showing the ratio of the maximum quantity
'''Transaction''' is an informational message about sending funds to the blockchain network.
'''Finalizing''' is the process of final approval of the transaction. On the Decimal network, a transaction is not subject to cancellation immediately upon writing a block with it to the chain.
'''PoS''' (Proof-of-Stake, literally — "proof of stake") is an algorithm for establishing consensus between network participants based on the participant's insurance deposit, which he risks.
'''pBFT''' is a consensus—building algorithm based on the voting process for a block of candidates.
