Fraud Proof

A fraud proof is a technological method that functions as a bond in a decentralized environment that uses Optimistic Rollups (ORs), which are sidechains that aim to reduce the costs and latency that dApps might encounter on a blockchain platform.

Front Running

Front running is when you place a transaction in a queue when you have knowledge of a future transaction.

Full Node

Nodes that download a blockchain’s entire history in order to observe and enforce its rules.

FUD

Gas Price

A term used on the Ethereum platform that refers to the price you are willing to pay for a transaction.

GameFi

GameFi, better known as play-to-earn (P2E) games, is a rather new term in the field of both gaming and cryptocurrency industries.
