  2. Ethereum Classic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethereum_Classic

    Ethereum Classic is a blockchain-based distributed computing platform that offers smart contract (scripting) functionality. [1] It is open source and supports a modified version of Nakamoto consensus via transaction-based state transitions executed on a public Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM).

  3. GPU mining - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPU_mining

    GPU mining is the use of Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) to "mine" proof-of-work cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin. [1] Miners receive rewards for performing computationally intensive work, such as calculating hashes, that amend and verify transactions on an open and decentralized ledger.

  4. Ethereum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethereum

    Ethereum enthusiasts gather for a Merge party in San Francisco in 2022. Ethereum 2.0 (Eth2) was a set of three or more upgrades, also known as "phases", meant to transition the network's consensus mechanism to proof-of-stake, and to scale the network's transaction throughput with execution sharding and an improved EVM architecture.

  5. Blockchain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blockchain

    Each block includes the cryptographic hash of the prior block in the blockchain, linking the two. The linked blocks form a chain. [3] This iterative process confirms the integrity of the previous block, all the way back to the initial block, which is known as the genesis block (Block 0).

  6. Fork (blockchain) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fork_(blockchain)

    Whereas permanent forks (in the sense of protocol changes) have been used to add new features to a blockchain, they can also be used to reverse the effects of hacking such as the case with Ethereum and Ethereum Classic, or avert catastrophic bugs on a blockchain as was the case with the bitcoin fork on 6 August 2010.

  7. Avalanche (blockchain platform) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avalanche_(blockchain...

    Avalanche is a decentralized, open-source Layer-1 blockchain that uniquely combines a tri-chain architecture (C-Chain, P-Chain, and X-Chain) with customizable Layer-1 networks (formerly known as “Subnets”), enabling diverse applications and sovereign blockchains within its ecosystem. [1]

  8. Bitcoin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitcoin

    Each block contains a SHA-256 hash of the previous block, [70] chaining them in chronological order. [ 7 ] : ch. 7 [ 70 ] The blockchain is maintained by a peer-to-peer network. [ 25 ] : 215–219 Individual blocks, public addresses, and transactions within blocks are public information, and can be examined using a blockchain explorer.

  9. Mining pool - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mining_pool

    In the context of cryptocurrency mining, a mining pool is the pooling of resources by miners, who share their processing power over a network, to split the reward equally, according to the amount of work they contributed to the probability of finding a block. A "share" is awarded to members of the mining pool who present a valid partial proof ...
