Terminology / Glossary
- HD Wallet - Hierarchical Deterministic Wallet - An HD Wallet offers better security and automated secure key generation compared to a standard digital wallet. HD wallets generate a hierarchical tree-like structure of keys which start from the seed master key based on BIP 32.
- BIP - Bitcoin Improvement Proposals
- EIP - Ethereum Improvement Proposals
- ENS - "The Ethereum Name Service is a distributed, open, and extensible naming system based on the Ethereum blockchain. Once you have a name, you can tell your friends to send ETH to mewtopia.eth instead of 0x7cB57B5A97eAbe942….."
- Meta Mask Loose Accounts - "Suppose you used the Import Account capability to import an account. Now, when you click Switch Accounts, you see the word "Loose" with a bright red oval background superimposed on your account avatar. The "Loose" label means that the account is not backed up by your seed phrase. This happened because you imported the account after creating your seed phrase As a precaution, keep the information you were using to access this "Loose" account backed up outside of MetaMask. (Similar to how you keep your seed phrase backed up somewhere offline.) This way, if something goes wrong, you can recover the account.” https://metamask.helpscoutdocs.com/article/17-what-are-loose-accounts
