You’ll never need to worry about being confused again because I will take care of all the nitty-gritty details.

This list covers abbreviations, intentional misspellings, and Twitter terminologies.

Once again, I have explained the basics, and you can read about how to buy, sell, and invest in NFTs all in one place. just click here 

Let’s get started!

 

1. AIRDROP

Airdrops are free collectibles offered by the creators of a particular NFT collection.

Two common reasons why someone would do an airdrop are:

Create additional interest in the NFT project to build more hype.

Reward a member or members of the community based on some criteria, such as doing a social media post.

To put it short, an airdrop is a free piece of NFT.

2. AFAIK
   Acronym for “As far as I know”.
3. ALPHA

Alpha is a secret future announcement.

In layman’s terms, it refers to insider information about an NFT project.

A reason why a future announcement is kept confidential is to avoid price manipulation of an NFT collection.

A person who is somehow able to figure out the alpha(s) can invest early on in the project.

Knowing an alpha and investing early practically guarantees a positive return on investment.

4. AMA
   Acronym for “Ask me anything”. Many NFT projects hold live AMA sections regularly to keep up the engagement with their community.
5. APE-ING (into something)
   When you ‘ape into’ something, it means that you’re buying something in an irresponsible manner and typically out of “FOMO”, and/or without doing your due diligence.
6. ASSET
   This is another way to talk about a digital collectible.
7. ATH/ATL
   Stands for “All-Time high” and “All-time low”. When an NFT project or token reaches the highest or lowest price to date.
8. AVATAR PROJECT
   Basically the same as a 10k project. Refers to a collection that consists of a few thousand NFT ‘avatars’ such as CryptoPunks, Bored Ape Yacht Club, and Cool Cats.
9. BEARISH
   When you believe that a market or asset is heading toward a downward trajectory. For example, “I’m feeling pretty bearish about the P2E gaming space right now.” See bullish below.
10. BEEPLE

Beeple created a piece of digital art that sold for $69,400,000. This is the record for the highest price ever paid for digital art.

11. BITCOIN 
    This is the most popular cryptocurrency in the whole world it is also used when you buy/sell NFTs.
12. BLOCKCHAIN 
    Blockchain is a digital ledger. It stores data across a global network.

A blockchain ledger is publicly verifiable and unchangeable. This means anyone can access the nodes in a blockchain.

13. BLUE CHIP
    Well-known projects or tokens with the most stability. An example of a blue-chip NFT project is CryptoPunks by Larva Labs.
14. BOT
    An automated software or script built to perform specific actions. Bots are commonly used to automate trade executions, initiate identity verification, snipe cheap NFTs once they’re listed, etc.
15. BRIDGE

16. BSC
    Short for “Binance Smart Chain”.
17. BTC 
    This is an abbreviation for Bitcoin.
18. BTD
    refers to “Buy the dips”. It means to purchase an asset after its price has dropped, which is usually considered a bargain since the asset is likely to bounce back and increase in value after the short-term correction.
19. BULLISH
    The exact opposite of bearish. This term is used when traders, investors, and community members expect an appreciation of a token or asset’s value in the near future.
20. BURNING 
    Burning means destroying an NFT.

However, it is good to understand what it means in practice.

Burning means sending the NFT to an unspendable address. In other words, your piece of NFT does not actually get destroyed. Instead, it becomes unusable.

This action cannot be reversed.

Notice that transactions that took place before burning will remain in the blockchain forever.

After burning an NFT token, a Proof of Burn (PoB) is created to verify the burning action.

Your NFT marketplace makes it easy for you to burn NFTs.

So If you want to get rid of an NFT, send it to the NFT contract address. This will destroy your tokens and they’ll no longer be transferable.

21. BURST 
    These are widely known NFTs you will want to buy because of their fame and hype, also known as assets on the market.
22. BUYERS/COLLECTORS

26. CROWDSALES 
    Crowdsale is a public offering to invest in a new digital asset, such as a cryptocurrency or NFT.

Companies creating an NFT project sometimes will have a pre-sale, allowing everyone to use ETH (or their own altcoins to purchase the new tokens). The tokens purchased can be invested back in developing the business or go to the investors and the company’s early employees.

27. CRYPTO 
    This is another name for cryptocurrencies. We can say the short form of cryptocurrency.
28. CRYPTOCOLLECTIBLES 
    These are blockchain assets that aren’t tradable because they represent one-of-a-kind digital items such as crypto art or crypto kitties the first NFTs.
29. CRYPTOCURRENCY 
    This is a type of digital currency, like Bitcoin, that uses cryptography to secure financial transactions and control the origination of new coins.
30. CRYPTOPUNKS

CryptoPunks is a popular NFT collection.

It consists of cartoon-like punks with different outfits and facial traits.

31. CRYPTO TWITTER (CT)
    Subculture of developers, tech founders, economists, influencers, and speculators that frequently tweet about cryptocurrency, blockchain, decentralization, and crypto scams.
32. DAO

DAO is an abbreviation for Decentralized Autonomous Organization.

It is an entity owned and run by its members, instead of a central authority.

In a DAO, each member has an equal say when it comes to decision-making.

One way to describe a DAO is to think of it as a club for crypto enthusiasts. It is a group of members that have a shared goal.

A DAO is built on a blockchain using smart contracts.

To join a specific DAO one usually has to buy their way in to get a governance token. This token verifies you are part of the community and have a say in decision-making.

The DAOs can consist of people from all across the world.

Usually, the communication is made through Discord channels.

33. Dapps 
    DApp is an abbreviation for Decentralized App.

Similar to DAO (earlier in this list), a decentralized app is an app with no central authority.

In a regular app, the backend runs on a server provided by a central authority like Facebook or Instagram.

The backend of a dApp runs on a peer-to-peer network, that is, on a blockchain. Thus, the servers do not belong to a company. Instead, they belong to the community.

The benefits of dApps include:

• Zero downtime. The network is always up and running.
• Privacy. No real-world identity is needed.
• No censorship. No single entity on a network can block its users from taking action.
• Data integrity. The data stored on a blockchain cannot be changed later on.
• Trustlessness. No need to trust a central authority to handle our data the right way.

Think of these as apps that run on decentralized networks (and not just Ethereum, but any platform). They’re crypto projects.

34. DECENTRALIZED EXCHANGES (DEX)
    These are exchanges that allow for peer-to-peer transactions rather than transactions being made with a central authority, like a bank.

The crypto transactions are carried out by smart contracts.

35. DED
    Simply a misspelling of ‘dead’. Commonly used by NFT communities to refer to a rug pulled from the project.
36. Defi

Defi is based on peer-to-peer networks, similar to the ones used by cryptocurrencies.

37. DEGEN
    Short for “degenerate”, usually refers to people who often make risky bets. In the crypto space, it usually refers to people who invest in digital assets like NFTs by “ape-ing” in and without doing due diligence.
38. DELIST
    Canceling the listing of an NFT for sale from an open market.
39. DERIVATIVE
    Projects derived from the original project were first popularized with a wide variety of “alternative” punks collections.
40. DEVS
    Short for “developers.”
41. DIAMOND HANDS

In the NFT space, the word “hands” refers to the way an investor holds their NFTs.

Diamond hands mean you are determined to keep the NFT assets no matter how long it takes before you make a profit.

Someone with diamond hands can single-mindedly hold on to their NFTs for years without panic-selling them.

42. DISCORD

Discord is a popular social media platform in gaming and NFTs.

Most of the popular NFT projects have their own Discord channel where anyone can join for engagement and stay up to date with the project.

43. DOXXED / DOXED
    When the identity of an NFT team member, dev, or creator is public, known, or verifiable. In the NFT market, when an NFT team is doxed it’s usually a sign of confidence and transparency for NFT collectors to ensure they won’t be scammed by an anonymous creator.
44. DROP

46. DUTCH AUCTION

A bidding technique that considers all bids received on a given asset before arriving at a ceiling price, which gradually drops at specific time intervals.

47. ENS (.eth)
    Stands for Ethereum Name Service, a service that sells .eth domains. These domains shorten your long Ethereum wallet, making it easier for others to identify and send ETH/NFTs to identify your wallet.
48. ERC-721

ERC-721 is a recipe for building NFTs on the Ethereum Virtual Machine compatible blockchains.

ERC stands for Ethereum Request for Comment

721 is the identifier number of the proposal

There are lots of these ERC proposals.

In particular, the ERC-721 proposal has become a popular open standard for building NFTs. This is because it specifies a set of rules that makes it easy to work with NFTs.

49. ETH 
    This is the abbreviation for Ethereum, which is the blockchain that stores all NFTs.
50. ETHER 
    An altcoin with its own blockchain, like Bitcoin, has BTC. Ether runs on the Ethereum blockchain. It’s used as “gas” in order to perform transactions or make Dapps function properly. If you want to buy an asset, then you have to pay more ETH than the actual cost of the asset.
51. ETHEREUM 
    The name one particular cryptocurrency, also known as ETH, supports Dapps and smart contracts.
52. ETHERSCAN 
    This is the most popular block explorer to check the worth of your digital collectibles. You can also use it to verify balances and transactions.
53. EXCHANGE
    If you want to trade your crypto assets in order to get other crypto assets, then you’ll need to go through an exchange like Binance. You can buy with credit cards here, too.

55. FIAT
    Fiat currency is the “regular currency” issued by the government.g. USD, Euro, and GBP.
56. FLEX
    Slang for showing off. NFT owners usually flex by setting their high-end NFTs as their discord or Twitter display picture.
57. FLIP
    When you flip something, be it an NFT or token, you buy and sell it quickly to make a quick profit.
58. FLOOR

The floor is the lowest current market price of an NFT project.

For example, consider an NFT collection with 10,000 assets. The floor is the price of the cheapest NFT in the collection.

59. FOMO

FOMO stands for “fear of missing out”.

This term is widely used in different contexts.

In the crypto/NFT space, FOMO refers to the fear of missing out on buying assets whose value could rise.

60. FRACTIONAL OWNERSHIP

Fractional ownership means you do not own the entire NFT. Instead, you own a fraction of it.

More often than not, NFTs are owned by a single owner.

However, the new variant called fractional NFT makes it possible to own a fraction of a piece of NFT.

61. FUD

FUD is an acronym for Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt.

FUD is typically created when someone spreads negative and potentially incorrect information on a crypto/NFT project.

    These are interchangeable, tradable tokens, such as ETH and BTC.
67. GAMEFI
    Refers to decentralized applications (dapps) with economic incentives, which generally involve rewarding tokens or NFTs when players perform game-related tasks such as winning battles, mining in-game resources, or cultivating digital crops. This approach is also known as play-to-earn (P2E).
68. GAS OR GAS FEE
    An amount is required to perform cryptocurrency transactions on the blockchain. Every time you buy an asset, send ETH or set up a smart contract, then gas has to be paid in order to run the transaction.
69. GAS WAR
    A gas war occurs during an NFT collection launch where there are more buyers (e.g. 100,000) than the amount of NFTs (e.g. 10,000) available for sale. In these situations, you’ll need to increase your gas fee to outbid the others, in hopes that your transaction would go through faster than theirs to secure your purchase.
70. GENERATIVE ART

Generative art means a computer program randomizes pre-built image layers to create the NFT art images.

The NFT images are generated by a computer program that randomly adds layers upon layers to form the images.

This streamlines the process of creating the NFT artwork.

As an artist, you only need to draw a bunch of layers and let the program take care of the rest.

For example, if you have 5 hats, 4 glasses, and 10 jackets, you can generate 5 x 4 x 10 = 200 combinations, where the avatar wears a different hat, glasses, and a jacket.

71. GM / GN
    If you’ve seen crypto Twitter (or discord) flooded with “GM” and “GN”, know that it simply means “good morning” and “good night”.
72. GMI
    Means “Going to make it”. Often used by NFT holders to express optimism for their collection. For instance, “If you hodl this amazing NFT, it’ll moon someday and you’re gonna be living the life!”
73. GOVERNANCE TOKENS
    Cryptocurrencies represent the main utility token of Defi protocols and blockchain projects. Holders of governance tokens are also granted voting power to determine the direction and future of the project.
74. GPU
    This is an acronym for graphics processing unit, which is needed to mine certain types of cryptocurrencies, such as Ethereum.
75. GTD
    Acronym for “Going to dust”. When a token or NFT project turns out to be a bad investment and its value is quickly diminishing.
76. GWEI
    Gwei is a denomination of the cryptocurrency ether (ETH). Also called another, Gwei denotes the ninth power of the fractional ETH (i.e. 0.000000001 ETH). In simpler terms, Gwei is the gas price required to successfully conduct a transaction or execute a contract on the blockchain. See satoshi below.
77. HASHRATE
    A measure of the speed at which your GPU can mine crypto tokens.
78. HASHMASKS
    Hashmasks are digital paintings made by a globally-distributed team of 70 artists managed by Suum Cuique Labs that offer consumers control over the art. According to the Hashmasks Manifesto, “Each holder has the ability to contribute to the completion of the art piece by giving a name of their preference to the Hashmasks they hold via the Name Change Token (NCT)”.

84. IDK
    Acronym for “I don’t know”.
85. INTERPLANETARY FILE SYSTEM

An Interplanetary File System (IPFS) is a peer-to-peer file-sharing network. IPFS aims to take us a step closer to the decentralized web.

IPFS offers a better way to store NFT data in comparison to an HTTP gateway URL. This is because the latter means your NFT data is stored on a central authority’s servers, and thus relies on it.

86. IRL
    Short for “In real life”, refers to the physical world we’re living in. Opposite to the virtual world.
87. IYKYK
    Short for “If you know, you know”. It implies a message, post, or information that’d make sense to the insiders but not the general public.

95. MEATSPACE
    Same meaning as IRL. Refers to the real-life physical world, as opposed to the virtual world.
96. METADATA

Metadata in general means data about the data. It provides information on the data.

The word “Nifty” is a playful term that refers to NFT.

The Nifty Gateway operates on the Ethereum blockchain.

112. NONCUSTODIAL WALLET
     Think of this as an online wallet that you control using private keys stored in your own computer.

There is a no-third-party solution like save to Google, last password, or forget password when it comes to storing your crypto assets. Instead of relying on a third party, you have to trust yourself not to mess things up with a non-custodial wallet. This means you have to make sure not to:

• Lose the wallet.
• Destroy the wallet.
• Forget a password.

One example is MetaMask, which is also a browser extension that lets you run Dapps in your regular web browser (instead of a centralized app).

113. NOOB

     Peer-to-peer or P2P means the direct exchange of an asset between two parties without involving a central authority in the process.

If you need to make a transaction without going through an exchange, then you’ll use P2P trading instead.

125. PERMANENT RECORDS
     The Ethereum blockchain permanently stores digital collectibles, so your crypto collectibles will never disappear unless you remove them yourself off the ledger.
126. PLAY-TO-EARN (P2E)

Play-to-earn games pay players based on their skill level.

These payments are NFTs that a player can collect and sell for cryptocurrency or real money.

127. POLYGON

130. PRIVATE KEY
     A private key is a secret number given to a user.

It gives you access to information or digital property on blockchains. You can always see your public address on Etherscan, but you might need to use a private key to access wallets or assets stored on the blockchain. Do not share your private key with anyone!

131. PROJECT

In the NFT space, the project refers to digital art or digital assets related to an overall roadmap.

An NFT collection is a project.

132. PROOF OF STAKE (PoS)
     Another way crypto projects verify transactions, means you’re rewarded with tokens if you hold on to them for a certain period. Like mining, this process also requires some computing power and electricity usage.
133. PROOF OF WORK (PoW)
     This is one way of verifying transactions, which means miners must solve hashing problems to do their job. This method makes it difficult for hackers to crack the network since they’d need over 51% of all computing power available worldwide.
134. PUBLIC KEY
     Similar to private keys, it’s a cryptographic key that allows people to access your wallet or NFTs. The difference is it doesn’t need to be kept secret. It’s posted in open spaces so the blockchain knows who you are and what you can do with your tokens.
135. PUMP-AND-DUMP

Pump-and-dump is a price manipulation scheme.

A pump occurs when a person or a group of ‘whales’ buy or convince others to purchase large quantities of crypto or an NFT to drive up the price to a peak. When the price peaks, these people sell their position high (quickly and all at once) for a hefty profit, therefore dumping the price. Slower investors or newbies who bought in at the peak price may find themselves at a loss.

The goal of a pump-and-dump scheme is to benefit traders from spikes in prices.

136. PUMPING

This means the price or value for a token or digital asset is skyrocketing.

137. QR Code

If you’re using a mobile wallet that supports scanning QR codes, then this is the easiest way to send NFTs or Ethereum since all you have to do is scan a code and confirm everything before hitting “send.”

138. QUANTITY
     This means is how many of a certain asset are available.
139. RARIBLE

Rarible is a popular community-driven NFT marketplace.

140. RARITIES 
     Items with different rarities get assigned with a certain number on the Ethereum blockchain. They’ll have unique IDs and metadata and get labeled as “Legendary” or “Mythic.”
141. RE-MINT
     Minting coins or tokens on a blockchain means giving out digital wallets’ private keys so they’re locked forever, meaning no one destroys or transfers them except for the original wallet owner.
142. REKT Is A Slang Term For “WRECKED”.

Often used in the online gaming community to refer to someone (or something) who has been totally ruined or destroyed. In the crypto space, getting rekt usually means experiencing severe financial loss due to bad investment decisions.

143. REWARD POOL
     In P2E games, a portion of the tokens is allocated in a ‘reward pool’ for the distribution of tokens to players who earned them through their gaming efforts. Depending on the game mechanics, this reward pool is kept balanced and refilled through various sink features that’ll typically require players to reinvest in the game.
144. RING SIGNATURE

A type of transaction that only lets the sender know someone signed it but not who, which means they can’t spend funds unless another signer provides their approval as well.

145. ROADMAP
     The set of activities or development plans for an NFT project or P2E game. A project with a solid roadmap is generally viewed to have more potential, and sustainability and is designed to stay for the long haul as compared to one with no foreseeable updates.
