What is Hash Timelock Contracts (HTLC)

Hash Time-Locked Contracts are smart contracts that are used to strengthen the security of trustless over-the-counter transactions across blockchains. HTLCs, which are used on atomic swaps and the Bitcoin lightning network, decrease risk by assuring that transactions are time-bound. These contracts indicate that in order for the transaction to be legal, both parties must acknowledge the stated payment within a certain deadline. If either side does not validate the payment within the specified time frame, the transaction is terminated. Hashlocks and timelocks are essential components of HTLCs. The transaction initiator generates a key and passes it through a hash function to create the hash lock. To unlock the hash and validate the transaction, the linked private key is utilized. After completion, the preimage saved hash is made public. If the transaction is not completed the payment is invalid if it is not received within the time limit specified, and the timelock returns the bitcoin to its original owner.

Blockchain

A blockchain is a subset of a distributed database. The Bitcoin inventors originally prototyped the system in 2008. This modern database is made up of separate blocks that are connected together in a chronological chain. Blockchains may be used to store a wide range of data types. It has mostly been utilized as a public ledger for bitcoin transactions to date. A peer-to-peer network comprised of independent nodes uses a consensus process to ensure the blockchain's security and legitimacy. Each node in the network keeps a public and immutable copy of the data.

An airdrop is a method of distributing coins. End users can typically obtain coins for free or in exchange for doing a small task, such as subscribing to a newsletter, sending a tweet, or inviting others via a personal affiliate link. Cryptocurrency airdrops — the act of depositing cryptocurrency into public crypto wallets — are utilized as a marketing, liquidity creation, and network bootstrapping technique for many different types of blockchain initiatives.

Altcoin

Altcoin - "alternative coin" - is any kind of digital currency other than Bitcoin. Since the launch of Bitcoin, the world's first digital currency, many altcoins (as well as supporting blockchains) have been created. Altcoin digital currencies share many similarities to Bitcoin, but consistently and have significant differences. There are about 20,000 altcoins, and this number is expected to grow significantly in the coming years. Altcoins often develop Bitcoin features. Ethereum, currently the most widely used blockchain, supports digital contracts and separate applications where Bitcoin does not. Altcoins are also often created to cater to the needs of different users. The Litecoin blockchain, for example, can process payments quarterly for the duration of Bitcoin.

Cold Storage

Cold storage is the way to store cryptocurrency offline.  The word refers to the use of offline wallets that are not connected to the internet. Cold storage is the most secure way to keep cryptocurrencies since an offline currency becomes less likely to be hacked and stolen. Paper wallets, printed renditions of private keys, and offline hardware and software wallets are all examples of cold storage.
