A daily crypto, finance, and AI vocabulary grouping puzzle for beginners.
Tokenized Cash Management
These concepts describe how cash balances, fund values, and yield-bearing instruments can be tracked without making an investment recommendation.
Sweep AccountNAV StrikeCash DragYield-Bearing Stablecoin
- Sweep Account: A sweep account automatically moves idle balances into another account or instrument according to preset cash-management rules.
- NAV Strike: A NAV strike is the calculation point when a fund's net asset value is determined for subscriptions, redemptions, or reporting.
- Cash Drag: Cash drag is the effect that holding uninvested cash can have on portfolio performance compared with fully allocated assets.
- Yield-Bearing Stablecoin: A yield-bearing stablecoin is a token designed to track a stable reference value while passing through income from reserves or related assets.
Perp Market Structure
These terms explain how perpetual futures venues reference prices, track positioning, and manage losses at the market level.
- Mark Price: A mark price is a reference value used by derivatives venues to calculate unrealized profit and loss and reduce manipulation risk.
- Index Price: An index price combines price data from selected markets to provide a reference value for contracts, risk checks, or settlement logic.
- Open Interest: Open interest is the total amount of outstanding derivative contracts that have not yet been closed or settled.
- Insurance Fund: An insurance fund is a reserve that a trading venue may use to absorb losses when liquidations do not fully cover a position's deficit.
Agent Safety Controls
These ideas describe how agent systems constrain behavior, route decisions through policy, and leave records for later review.
- Prompt Firewall: A prompt firewall checks user or tool inputs for unsafe, disallowed, or suspicious instructions before they reach an AI model or agent.
- Policy Engine: A policy engine evaluates requests or planned actions against rules so a system can allow, block, modify, or escalate them.
- Human Approval: Human approval is a control that requires a person to review and authorize a sensitive action before an automated system proceeds.
- Audit Log: An audit log records important events, decisions, and changes so operators can review what happened and when.
Decentralized AI Compute
These concepts describe how decentralized compute networks may coordinate AI jobs, verify work, and track data lineage.
- Proof of Compute: Proof of compute is evidence intended to show that a claimed computational task was actually performed by a provider or network participant.
- GPU Orchestrator: A GPU orchestrator assigns and manages model training, inference, or data workloads across available graphics processors.
- Runtime Attestation: Runtime attestation is a verifiable claim about the software, model runtime, or execution environment used to process a workload.
- Data Provenance: Data provenance tracks where data came from, how it changed, and which processes or systems handled it over time.
