Glossary

A Layer 1 blockchain focused on zero-knowledge cryptography and privacy. Uses Leo programming language for writing ZK circuits. Ethereal Offering uses Aleo for anonymous governance and private voting.

A decentralized exchange protocol that uses liquidity pools instead of order books. Users can swap tokens directly from pools, and liquidity providers earn fees.

A distributed ledger that records transactions across many computers. Immutable, transparent, and decentralized.

Ability of different blockchain networks to communicate and share data with each other, enabling cross-chain transactions and applications.

Service that provides external data to smart contracts. Chainlink oracles provide price feeds for collateral systems.

The act of burning ETHO tokens at the Sacred Altar as a spiritual practice, inspired by ancient burnt offering traditions.

Computer-controlled machine tool that rotates workpiece for precision turning operations. Capable of complex geometries with tight tolerances.

Protocol used by blockchain networks to agree on the validity of transactions. Common types include Proof of Work and Proof of Stake.

Digital or virtual currency secured by cryptography, making it nearly impossible to counterfeit. Operates independently of central banks.

Digital tool for storing, sending, and receiving cryptocurrencies. Contains public and private keys for blockchain transactions.

Organization represented by rules encoded as smart contracts, controlled by members rather than central authority. Enables transparent, democratic governance on the blockchain.

Application that runs on a decentralized network, typically blockchain, rather than centralized servers. Offers censorship resistance and user control.

Financial services built on blockchain without traditional intermediaries like banks. Includes lending, borrowing, trading, and yield farming protocols.

The daily rewards token earned through check-ins, ceremonies, and participation. Used for gas fees, breeding, and unlocking features.

The standard for fungible tokens on Ethereum. PSILO, MDAO, ETHO, PSD, and DM are all ERC-20 tokens.

The standard for non-fungible tokens (NFTs) on Ethereum. POB and SHROOM are ERC-721 tokens.

The ceremonial burn token used at the Sacred Altar. Deflationary supply, earned through participation.

A Layer 1 blockchain with smart contract functionality. Primary blockchain for Ethereal Offering's token ecosystem.

A 365+ day streak of daily offerings or check-ins. Earns 2x-3x rewards.

The transaction fee paid to blockchain validators. On Ethereum, gas fees vary based on network congestion ($1-$100).

Cryptocurrency that gives holders voting rights in decentralized protocols, allowing community-driven decision making and protocol upgrades.

Burning a Mushroom NFT to receive DM rewards. Mature mushrooms can be harvested for 50-10,000 DM depending on rarity.

A decentralized governance structure with autonomous circles. Ethereal Offering DAO has 4 circles: Core, Development, Community, and Spiritual.

A base blockchain like Ethereum, TON, or Aleo. Processes transactions and maintains consensus.

A scaling solution built on top of Layer 1. Processes transactions faster and cheaper, then settles to L1.

A smart contract holding two tokens that users can trade against. Liquidity providers deposit tokens and earn fees.

AI model trained on vast amounts of text data to understand and generate human-like text. Powers applications like ChatGPT and our Oracle of Fruit.

Industry-leading CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing) software for creating CNC toolpaths and programs. Used for mill, lathe, and multi-axis machining.

Conversational CNC programming language used on Mazak machine tools. Allows intuitive part programming through graphical interface and conversational prompts.

The governance token that grants voting rights in the DAO. Earned by staking PSILO or making offerings.

Cryptographic protocol allowing multiple parties to jointly compute a function while keeping inputs private. Used for secure key management and collaborative computation.

Decentralized organizational structures inspired by fungal networks. Emphasizes interconnection, distributed intelligence, and mutual support without hierarchy.

A unique digital asset on the blockchain. Each NFT is distinct and not interchangeable. POB and SHROOM are NFTs.

A soulbound NFT minted when you make an offering at the Sacred Altar. Permanent receipt of your burn.

Science of measurement ensuring parts meet specified tolerances, often to ±0.0001" accuracy. Uses CMMs, micrometers, and optical comparators.

The concept that your participation is proof of your existence and value. Not proof of work or stake, but proof of presence.

The stablecoin of the ecosystem, pegged to $1 USD. Used for stable trading pairs and treasury reserves.

The crowdsale fundraising token. Fixed supply of 10M. Stake to earn MDAO.

The minimum participation required for a vote to be valid. Standard proposals need 10% quorum, Critical need 40%.

The process of healing from addiction or trauma. Ethereal Offering integrates 12-step principles and recovery support.

AI systems designed to support spiritual practices, ceremonies, and contemplative traditions. Combines technology with sacred wisdom for community healing.

The smart contract where ETHO tokens are burned ceremonially. Mints POB NFTs and distributes MDAO rewards.

Self-executing contracts with terms directly written into code. Automatically execute when predetermined conditions are met, eliminating need for intermediaries.

Object-oriented programming language for writing smart contracts on Ethereum and EVM-compatible blockchains. Syntax similar to JavaScript and C++.

Non-transferable NFTs that represent identity, credentials, or achievements tied to a specific wallet address. Cannot be sold or transferred.

A formula representing spiritual effort: (Presence + Service + Recovery²) / Ego

Locking tokens in a smart contract to earn rewards. Stake PSILO to earn MDAO.

Economic model and incentive structure of a cryptocurrency token, including supply, distribution, utility, and governance mechanisms.

A Layer 1 blockchain integrated with Telegram. Ethereal Offering uses TON for the Telegram mini-app and daily mining.

A recovery program based on spiritual principles. Ethereal Offering integrates 12-step concepts into blockchain mechanics.

The decentralized internet built on blockchain. Emphasizes user ownership and control.

DeFi strategy of lending or staking cryptocurrency to earn rewards, often in the form of additional tokens or interest payments.

Cryptographic method allowing one party to prove to another that a statement is true without revealing any information beyond the validity of the statement itself. Essential for privacy-preserving blockchain applications.
