This is a copy of any token transferred from one blockchain to another.
There are many blockchains in the cryptocurrency industry: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Cosmos, Avalanche, etc. Blockchains are deprived of the opportunity to "understand each other": everyone acts according to their own rules and speaks their own language. Each blockchain has its own Native token - a coin that is used to pay for the commission:
for the Bitcoin network, this is bitcoin (BTC)
for Ethereum - ETH
For Cosmos - Atom
For Avalanche - Avax
If you want to carry out any actions, for example, send a USDT tokens to the EThereum network to another wallet, the commission will have to be paid in ETH tokens if Avalanche is an AVAX commission, etc. However, if you decide to send your USDT from Ethereum to Avalanche, your USDT will be lost. Why? Because USDT on the Ethereum and USDT network on Avalanche is not the same thing, because we remember that each blockchain lives according to its own rules.
And what to do if you urgently need to send your USDT from one network to another? For these purposes, cross -miners were invented - special applications that allow you to translate tokens from “one language to another”, that is, from one blockchain to another. In one network, the token is blocked, and in another - a copy is created that does not lose its original value. For example, if you transfer BTC from the Bitcoin network to Ethereum, it will become WBTC, i.e. wrapped.
This is the stage of waiting for a transaction. For example, the user sent funds to another wallet, but immediately this transfer will not occur, because for some time this transaction is checked by special services, and is in processing. On the user side, this transaction will be marked with "Pending".
This is a fluctuation in the price of the asset or its profitability for a certain period of time. As a rule, the higher the volatility of the asset, the higher the risk. The prices of such assets often fluctuate and for a short period of time can greatly go into plus or minus. The volatility is has a strong psychological effect on investors: with high price fluctuations, panic occurs, uncertainty presses and in the end the drain of securities at the very bottom begins, and then experiences from such manipulations.
This is a period of locking tokens.
As a rule, tokens are not given to investors all at once, but in several portions - butter. For each butch, the deadlines and the number of tokens are indicated. So temporary segments between the battles can be called cliffs. For example, the conditions of the sank is as follows: 50% of the tokens will be issued in TG (first butch), then cliff (blocking) for two months, then another 25% and again for six months, etc.
A certain procedure in which you need to participate in order to receive projects at an early stage (subscribe to social networks, fill out the form/glimas, participate in the twist, raise the node, participate in the Ambassador program, come to the shade, participate in the lottery on the tokensele)
This is a profit in various types obtained as a result of investment activities.
