*Hot Tip: we’re not tech people and we had to read these terms a few times to really understand them. If you’ve been reading our newsletter, the concepts should be easier to grasp, but if it feels confusing, you’re not alone!

Protocol- A basic set of rules that allow data to be shared between computers. For cryptocurrencies, they establish the structure of the blockchain — the distributed database that allows digital money to be securely exchanged on the internet.

Open Source- For the blockchain, this means that it is a very public and transparent way to keep records. This eliminates any kind of operator or revisions. Open source software is a code that is designed to be publicly accessible.

Permissionless blockchains - Open networks available to everyone to participate in the decision making that blockchains use to validate transactions and data (remember, blockchains store data). They are fully decentralized across unknown parties. High degree of transparency, resistance to censorship, autonomy, and strong security.
