Terms & Concepts
  • dApps: Decentralized applications, which are blockchain-based software services that run on a distributed network rather than a centralized server.
  • Layer 1: A base blockchain network, such as Solana, that processes and settles transactions on its own main chain.
  • Layer 2: A secondary scaling network built on top of another blockchain to improve throughput or lower transaction costs.
