Fungible Token

Fungible tokens are those tokens that are identical to each other and can be exchanged indistinctive from one another. Some examples are US Dollars, Bitcoins, ETH, etc.

  • ERC-20

Non-Fungible Token

NFT Stands for non-fungible token. NFTs are tokens which are unique and cannot be traded at equivalency. As an example, a game developer could implement an NFT for some inventory item to guarantee that it only has one owner that can use it in-game.

Notes

  • Cryptographic Concepts
    • Symmetric Cryptography
    • Asymmetric Cryptography
    • Cryptographic Nonce A nonce word (also called an occasionalism) is a lexeme created for a single occasion to solve an immediate problem of communication. In cryptography, a nonce is an arbitrary number that can be used just once in a cryptographic communication. It is similar in spirit to a nonce word, hence the name. It is often a random or pseudo-random number issued in an authentication protocol to ensure that old communications cannot be reused in replay attacks. They can also be useful as initialization vectors and in cryptographic hash functions. Wikipedia.
  • Distributed Ledgers
  • Zero-Knowledge Proofs A Zero knowledge proof is a proof that we know a secret, without revealing anything about the secret.
    • Zero Knowledge Protocol A zero-knowledge protocol is a protocol to produce zero knowledge proofs. They must satisfy these three properties:
      • Completeness: if the statement is true, the honest verifier (that is, one following the protocol properly) will be convinced of this fact by an honest prover.
      • Soundness: if the statement is false, no cheating prover can convince the honest verifier that it is true, except with some small probability.
      • Zero-knowledge: if the statement is true, no verifier learns anything other than the fact that the statement is true. In other words, just knowing the statement (not the secret) is sufficient to imagine a scenario showing that the prover knows the secret. This is formalized by showing that every verifier has some simulator that, given only the statement to be proved (and no access to the prover), can produce a transcript that "looks like" an interaction between the honest prover and the verifier in question.
