What is in it
The list runs from the vocabulary you meet on a first day, such as wallet, gas, token, and block explorer, through the terms that decide whether a project is worth your time, such as smart-contract audit, multisig, and tokenomics. It also covers the words Dapping itself uses, including attestation, proof page, and Karma, and the language of opportunities: grant, bounty, hackathon, and accelerator.How to read an entry
- Open the glossary index and select a term. Each entry in the index carries its short definition, so you can often stop there.
- Read the Definition paragraph at the top of the term page. It is the short, self-contained answer.
- Read In practice for how the concept shows up in real work, including what an experienced builder checks before trusting it.
- Follow the links under the term’s own heading. Every entry points into at least two live Dapping surfaces, so a definition leads to the dApps, jobs, grants, or bounties it describes.
- Use Related terms at the foot of the page to move to the neighbouring concepts.
Where the definitions come from
The glossary is a fixed editorial set written and maintained by Dapping. It is not user submitted, not generated from listings, and not open to contributions. That is deliberate: a definition is only useful if it stays stable enough to cite. If an entry is wrong or out of date, report it as a correction.Continue on Dapping
