This is the plain-English standard.
Six real entries from the glossary — exactly as they appear, no rewriting for the sales page. If these read clearly, the other 139 will too.
Wallet
Wallets & KeysSoftware or hardware that lets you view your crypto holdings and authorize transactions. The wallet stores your keys, not the coins themselves — the coins live on the blockchain.
Seed Phrase
Wallets & KeysA list of 12 or 24 words that can recreate a wallet and all its keys. It is the master backup and is never entered into websites or shared with anyone.
Finality
Transactions & FeesThe point at which a transaction is considered permanent and will not be reversed. Different networks reach finality differently.
Gas
Transactions & FeesThe fee paid to have a network process a transaction. The amount changes with how busy the network is.
Stablecoin
Assets & TokensA token designed to hold a steady value, often tied to a currency such as the US dollar.
Chargeback
Payments & Business UseA reversal of a payment by a bank or card network. Standard blockchain payments do not have an equivalent automatic reversal.
