In Practice

Stablecoin
A cryptocurrency designed to maintain a stable value, usually pegged 1:1 to fiat like USD (e.g., USDT, USDC).
Governance Token
A governance token is a token that grants its holders the right to vote on changes to a protocol — fee parameters, treasury spending, code upgrades, or strategic decisions. Holding the token is the on-chain equivalent of owning a share of the project's decision-making.
Multisig Wallet
A multisig (multi-signature) wallet is a smart-contract or script-based wallet that requires multiple independent signatures to authorize a transaction — for example, 2-of-3 or 3-of-5 — instead of a single private key.
DAO
A DAO, or Decentralized Autonomous Organization, is a community-led organization that uses blockchain tools for governance and decision-making.
