CEX (Centralized Exchange)

is a type of cryptocurrency exchange that operates through a central authority, allowing users to trade cryptocurrencies for fiat currency or other digital assets. The exchange provides real-time pricing information, trading capabilities, and guaranteed liquidity for its users. However, unlike DEX (Decentralized Exchanges), CEXs require users to reveal their identities and give the exchange full control over their assets. This centralized control makes CEXs more susceptible to hacking or fraud than their decentralized counterparts.

Conversion

is the act of exchanging one cryptocurrency for another using a cryptocurrency exchange. It allows you to trade your coins for another type of digital asset at a current market price.

d

DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization)

is an organization that operates through a set of computer programs called smart contracts, rather than through a centralized authority. Token owners are responsible for governing the DAO and making decisions through democratic voting. This enables a level of organizational decision-making that is not possible in traditional public companies. The DAO uses smart contracts and publicly disclosed code to govern its operations.

DEX (Decentralized Exchange)

is a type of cryptocurrency exchange that allows for peer-to-peer trading of cryptocurrencies using smart contracts, rather than a centralized trading system. It operates on a blockchain network, offers greater privacy and security, but may have lower liquidity and higher fees compared to CEX (Centralized exchanges).

DPoS (Delegated Proof of Stake)

is a special consensus algorithm that involves the delegation of authority by a group of people of one node. Stakeholders can delegate their votes, which are determined by the number of coins contributed, to one delegate, who acts as a validator. In this case, the award is divided in proportion to the number of votes cast.

DSP (Demand Side Platform)

is a programmatic ad buying software that allows advertisers and agencies to purchase digital ad inventory. Using the DSP, advertisers manage banner bids and rates for displaying advertising messages to the target audience across many networks on one interface. As with contextual advertising, the KPI-based system helps optimize metrics such as effective Cost per Click (eCPC) and effective Cost per Action (eCPA).

e

ERC20

is a technical standard for creating and implementing digital tokens on the Ethereum blockchain. It is an abbreviation for "Ethereum Request for Comments," with the number 20 being a unique identifier that sets it apart from other standards. ERC20 tokens are created, distributed, and used on the Ethereum network, similar to how bitcoin operates, and are implemented using a smart contract that records token movements within the network. The ERC20 standard ensures compatibility between different applications and allows a variety of assets to be represented as tokens, following specific rules and guidelines for transfer and balance retrieval on the Ethereum network.

ESC (Enterprise Service Chain)

is a blockchain based software tool facilitating high volumes of simple transactions that, in most cases, send tokens between accounts as in other crypto currencies. The name is derived from the concept of the Enterprise Service Bus in which a crypto currency is used as the protocol of communication.

Inventory

This includes ad space on websites, metaverses, mobile apps, video platforms, and other digital channels. Advertisers buy inventory to show their ads to the publisher's audience, and the term "inventory" is used because the available ad space is considered a commodity, similar to physical inventory in a retail store.

Publisher

is a traffic and inventory provider who allows advertisers to promote their product or service in its space, such as websites, metaverse lands, mobile apps, video platforms, and other digital platforms.
