Gas Fee
Gas Fee refers to the transaction fee paid in a blockchain, mostly Ethereum-based blockchains.
Dencun Upgrade, Proto-Dank Sharding
The Dencun Upgrade was an Ethereum scalability solution that improved transaction speeds on its blockchain via a rollup feature called "blobs"
Blobs
Blobs are temporary storage spaces in Ethereum blocks that store roll-up summaries (hashes). These provide a cheaper and more efficient way for both Optimistic and Zero Knowledge rollups. These were introduced by the Dencun Upgrade and were a part of…
Blockchain Trilemma
Blockchain Trilemma was a trade-off where you could only choose two among the three: SCALABILITY, SECURITY, and DECENTRALIZATION
Surge (Ethereum)
The Surge Series of upgrades are aimed at scaling Ethereum's speed from 15 to 20 transactions per second(TPS) to over 100k TPS.
Algorithm
Algorithms are sets of instructions created to perform specific tasks.
Lightning Network
The Lightning Network is a second-layer technology built on top of the Bitcoin blockchain, designed to make transactions faster, cheaper, and more scalable.
Transactions Per Second (TPS)
TPS refers to the number of transactions that a blockchain can process and finalize in a second.
Byzantine Fault Tolerance or the Double Spending Problem
The Byzantine question was a classical problem in cryptography which dealt with how a digital currency can be prevented from being spent twice.
