API

An Application Programming Interface (API) allows software programs to interact with blockchain networks and crypto exchanges programmatically.

DApp

A decentralized application (dApp) is an open-source program that runs on a blockchain or P2P network using smart contracts without a central authority.

ERC-1155

ERC-1155 is an Ethereum token standard created by Enjin that allows a single smart contract to manage both fungible and non-fungible tokens efficiently.

ERC-20

ERC-20 is the technical standard for creating fungible, smart contract-based tokens on the Ethereum blockchain.

ERC-721

ERC-721 is an Ethereum smart contract standard for non-fungible tokens (NFTs), enabling unique, verifiable ownership of digital and real-world assets.

Smart Contract

A smart contract is self‑executing code on a blockchain that automatically enforces agreement terms without intermediaries.

Solidity

Solidity is Ethereum’s statically-typed language for building smart contracts and decentralized applications.
