Blockchain Node Types
Node types in a blockchain: full nodes verify every block, archive nodes keep all history, light clients download only headers, RPC nodes serve most apps.
2026-09-10
Advanced Consensus Mechanisms
Advanced consensus is about how fast a block turns irreversible, not who proposes it: BFT voting, sampling mechanisms, proof of history, single-slot finality.
2026-09-10
Proof of Reserves and Liabilities
A Merkle tree with a zk-SNARK proves liabilities, but proof of reserves cannot see off-chain debt: an exchange can be fully reserved on-chain yet insolvent.
2026-09-10
Exchange Withdrawal Processing
Your balance drops when you click, but the coins wait: an exchange processes a withdrawal through a security queue and a hot-wallet float that is often batched.
2026-09-10
Exchange Custody Models
Across custody models, what matters most is whether the exchange keeps your coins separate from its own — commingling turns its trading loss into yours.
2026-09-10
Exchange AML and Screening
How exchange AML works: identity checks, sanctions screening, transaction monitoring and the Travel Rule, what each catches, and what none of them can catch.
2026-09-10
Exchange Account Risk Controls
App-based 2FA beats SMS codes, a withdrawal whitelist with a waiting period turns account theft into a delay, and an anti-phishing code exposes a fake email.
2026-09-10
Wallet Signing and Permissions
The riskiest wallet signing costs no gas: an off-chain message signature can grant a standing permission that spends your tokens until you revoke it.
2026-09-10
Wallet Drainers and Signature Scams
These scams hack nothing: you sign, and on a blockchain a signature is final. A drainer kit then sweeps the wallet's tokens and NFTs, often in one transaction.
2026-09-10
Multisig and Smart Contract Wallets
A plain wallet is a key with no logic of its own: one mistake is final. Multisig removes the single point of failure; smart contract accounts are programmable.
