C
CCIP
Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol - Chainlink's protocol for cross-chain communication.
ChainID
A unique identifier for a blockchain network. This project uses ChainID 138.
Consensus
The mechanism by which nodes in a blockchain network agree on the state of the blockchain. This project uses QBFT.
D
DeFi

P2P
Peer-to-Peer - A network architecture where nodes communicate directly with each other.
Pod
The smallest deployable unit in Kubernetes, containing one or more containers.
Q
QBFT
Quorum Byzantine Fault Tolerance - The consensus mechanism used in this network (replaced IBFT 2.0).
