dApp

Short for decentralized application, a dApp is any application that is designed to run on a blockchain network, like Ethereum.

District

Groups of adjacent parcels that share similar user interests

ERC20 Token

A fungible (reproducible or interchangeable) token built using an Ethereum smart contract according to the ERC-20 Token Standard . TERRA is TerraHarvest ERC20 token.

Ethereum

A decentralized platform for building applications based on smart contracts. TerraHarvest is being built on the Ethereum platform. For more information, please visit https://www.ethereum.org/

Fungible Token

A fungible token is any token whose fundamental unit or characteristic is interchangeable with other tokens of the same set. In other words, fungible tokens are not unique. Examples of fungible tokens are TerraHarvest TERRA or Ethereum’s Ether.

LAND

LAND is a scarce, non-fungible digital asset maintained in an Ethereum smart contract that represents the parcels of virtual land within TerraHarvest.

TERRA

TERRA is TerraHarvest fungible ERC20 cryptocurrency token, limited to an original total supply of 2,000,000,000

MetaMask

A browser extension that allows you to access and run dApps without running an entire node on the Ethereum blockchain. For more information, and to install MetaMask to begin using TerraHarvest features, please see https://metamask.io/

NFT (Non-Fungible Token)

Unlike fungible tokens, non-fungible tokens are unique and distinguishable digital assets. Information contained in a non-fungible token is unique to that token, such as a serial number or the coordinates of a LAND plot in TerraHarvest. This means that a non-fungible token can never be traded or exchanged for any other token. TerraHarvest's LAND is an example of a non-fungible digital asset, along with CryptoKitties or CryptoPunks.

Parcel

A 16 meter by 16 meter piece of LAND within TerraHarvest.

Scene

A scene within TerraHarvest comprises the 3D objects, textures, and audio content rendered on a LAND parcel or group of parcels.

Smart Contract

A smart contract is simply a program on the Ethereum blockchain that facilitates and verifies digital transactions. Ethereum smart contracts enable developers to build decentralized applications that can track and transfer ownership of digital assets on a trustless network.
