Hashes per second (h/s) is a measurement used to determine the hash rate on a blockchain network that uses Proof of Work (PoW). This measurement calculates the number of hash computations..
Hashed Timelock Contracts (HTCLs) are smart contracts that facilitate atomic swap transactions. These smart contracts function as a "virtual lockbox" that requires a HashLock and TimeLock..
The hash rate is the unit of measure for the computing power of a Proof-of-Work consensus mechanism. The hash rate is valued in terahashes per second (TH/s), and increases or decreases..
Hash functions are algorithms that take data of any size and convert it into a fixed-length hexadecimal number, or hash. Hash functions are one-way functions and cannot be reversed to reveal..
A hardware wallet is a non-custodial wallet and is considered a secure way to personally store crypto. Typically looking like a USB stick, a hardware wallet is usually offline but connects..
A hard peg is a specific type of exchange rate model that is applied to a currency in order to maintain its value relative to a reserve currency or basket of currencies. As they relate..
Cardano's hard fork combinator (HFC) is designed to streamline the network's updates without requiring system stoppages or fundamental chain restarts. It does this by combining pre- and..
A hard fork is a software update that is not backwards compatible. In the context of blockchain technology, a hard fork happens when new rules have been introduced into the blockchain code..
Hard cap has two separate definitions related to blockchain. Firstly, a hard cap indicates the absolute maximum supply of a cryptocurrency that can ever be created. For example, Bitcoin has..
Decentralized applications (dApps) which are built on the Holochain blockchain platform are referred to as hApps. Holochain is a completely distributed open-source network that allows anyone..
