Launchpad is a platform for projects to issue their tokens and conduct IDO fundraisings. Some popular launchpads in the market are PolkaStarter, DAO Maker, SolStarter, etc.
Leverage
Leverage is used by traders when borrowing money from platforms to long or short assets. Leverage helps traders with small capital to gain better profit if the price goes in a beneficial direction: increase for long positions, or decrease for short positions. However, it entails much more risks when the price goes in the opposite direction.
Liquidity
Liquidity refers to the availability of liquid assets on DEXs or CEXs. High liquidity means the demand in the market is increasing, and transactions will not suffer large slippages.
Some high liquidity assets are BTC and ETH, whose prices would not be much affected by a $10,000 buy transaction. However, if the same transaction happens with a new, low liquidity token, its price would soar since there are not enough sellers.
Liquidity Provider
Liquidity providers are users who supply liquid assets to DEXs such as UniSwap, UniSwap, etc. In return, they will receive transaction fees paid by users, partly or in full, along with possibilities of other incentives such as the project’s tokens. However, without careful calculations, liquidity providers may suffer impermanent loss.
Long
Long refers to an investor borrowing assets with a certain leverage from an exchange to buy an asset, wait for the price to increase, then sell and repay the borrowed amount along with some fee.
For example:
A user has $100 and uses 10x leverage, meaning they’re borrowing $900 from the exchange to open a $1000 long position. When the price increases, they close this long position, sell and repay $900 plus the borrowing fee to the exchange, keeping the interests for themselves.
However, if the price decreases sharply, their position will be liquidated and the initial capital of $100 will be lost. This is a high profit, high risk type of trading.
Mainnet
Mainnet is the official version of a blockchain released after the developers have successfully completed the testnet phase.
When the mainnet is released, the coin will have its independent blockchain, its own wallet platform, etc. However, mainnet can be adjusted when there are new updates from the project team.

However, their houses can not be exchanged since they have different characteristics. In this case, the house is an example of an NFT.
NFTs are commonly used in arts and games, with different standards such as ERC-721, ERC-1155, etc.
Non-custodial
Non-custodial is often used to describe DEXs and decentralized wallets, which means the developers only build the product, while the full control of assets belongs to their users.

Pump & Dump
Pump & Dump is a form of market manipulation, in which:
- Pump: Making efforts in trying to increase the market price.
- Dump: Trying to decrease the price to a catastrophic level by selling off a massive amount of assets on exchanges.
Pump & Dump is common in markets such as stock, crypto and even gold. Even though it is considered an illegal act, the legal framework in crypto is not enough to control this situation.

However, updating will help eliminate limitations of the old version and increase compatibility with new applications.
Stablecoin
Stablecoin is a coin whose value is pegged to an asset to stabilize the crypto market.
Stablecoins must be backed by the asset that it’s pegged to, such as gold (Digix Gold Tokens - GGX), a fiat currency (Tether - USDT), or other cryptocurrencies (MakerDAO - DAI).
Short
In contrast with long, short refers to an investor borrowing assets with a certain leverage from an exchange to sell immediately, wait for the price to decrease, then buy and repay the borrowed amount along with some fee.
For example: A user has $100 and uses 10x leverage, meaning they’re borrowing $900 worth of assets from the exchange to sell for a total of $1000. When the price decreases, they close this short position, buy and repay the borrowed assets plus the borrowing fee to the exchange, keeping the interests for themselves. However, if the price increases sharply, their position will be liquidated and the initial capital of $100 will be lost. This is a high profit, high risk type of trading.
