Uptick Chain is a high-performance blockchain based on Cosmos-SDK. Its goal is to support a wide range of NFT-based applications and business scenarios by providing modular and scalable infrastructure. It also integrates the EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) module and WASM (WebAssembly) support, thus achieving compatibility with various smart contracts and dApps.In addition, the network also has a modular Uptick protocol and service module, as well as a development framework designed to support various NFT business scenarios, and a flagship NFT marketplace as a key application within the ecosystem.Hash is a string of fixed-length characters obtained by encrypting and calculating data, which is used to ensure the integrity of data. The hash value is irreversible, that is, it is difficult to infer the original data from the hash value.Node is a computer or device in a blockchain network. Each node holds a complete copy of blockchain data and participates in network verification and consensus. Nodes can be divided into full nodes, light nodes, etc.A smart contract is a protocol for automatically executing contract code. It will automatically execute contract terms when predetermined conditions are met, ensuring the automation and security of the contract.The private key is the encryption key used by users to sign transactions and is held only by the user. The public key is generated from the private key and is used to identify an identity or address and is usually public. Transactions signed by the private key can be verified through the public key.The address is the identifier of a user in the blockchain network. It is generated from the public key. Users can receive and send digital assets through the address.A transaction is a data exchange behavior in the blockchain, such as sending cryptocurrency, invoking a smart contract, etc. Each transaction will be recorded in a block.GAS (gas fee) is a unit of measurement used to pay transaction fees and execute smart contracts in the blockchain. The design purpose of GAS is to limit the use of computing resources and ensure that each transaction or contract execution on the network pays the corresponding fee to prevent abuse of network resources.DApp is a blockchain-based application program that usually runs using smart contracts and does not rely on a centralized server. Data is maintained by multiple nodes on the blockchain.Token is a homogeneous digital currency based on blockchain technology. Transaction security is ensured through cryptography.NFT, fully known as Non-Fungible Token, refers to a non-fungible token. In essence, it is a trusted digital rights certificate with uniqueness in the blockchain network. It is a data object that can record and process multi-dimensional and complex attributes on the blockchain.
