  2. ERC-721 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ERC-721

    The ERC-721 Non-fungible Token Standard is a technical framework, defining a set of rules and interfaces for creating and managing unique, non-fungible tokens (NFTs) on the Ethereum blockchain. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] ERC-721 is recognized for formalizing the concept of an NFT and establishing the foundation of the multi-billion dollar digital ...

    A blockchain is "an open, distributed ledger that can record transactions between two parties efficiently and in a verifiable and permanent way". [63] For use as a distributed ledger, a blockchain is typically managed by a peer-to-peer network collectively adhering to a protocol for validating new blocks. Once recorded, the data in any given ...

    Ethereum-based permissioned blockchain variants are used and being investigated for various projects: In 2017, JPMorgan Chase proposed developing JPM Coin on a permissioned-variant of Ethereum blockchain dubbed "Quorum". [87] It is "designed to toe the line between private and public in the realm of shuffling derivatives and payments.

    Solidity is the primary programming language for developing smart contracts on the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). [32] However, Rust has emerged as a strong alternative in the blockchain ecosystem, especially for blockchains that support WebAssembly (Wasm), such as Polkadot, Klever and Solana.

    We describe a protocol that facilitates low friction peer-to-peer exchange of ERC20 tokens on the Ethereum blockchain. The protocol is intended to serve as an open standard and common building block, driving interoperability among decentralized applications (dApps) that incorporate exchange functionality.

    Buterin is the inventor of Ethereum, described as a "decentralised mining network and software development platform rolled into one" [24] that facilitates the creation of new cryptocurrencies and programs that share a single blockchain (a cryptographic transaction ledger).

  8. Verifiable random function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verifiable_random_function

    In 1999, Micali, Rabin, and Vadhan introduced the concept of a VRF and proposed the first such one. [4] The original construction was rather inefficient: it first produces a verifiable unpredictable function, then uses a hard-core bit to transform it into a VRF; moreover, the inputs have to be mapped to primes in a complicated manner: namely, by using a prime sequence generator that generates ...
