Hi all,

I'm working on this list of ICO definitions. This is a LIVING LIST, and I'm seeking input so that I can create a public glossary of sorts. Share your thoughts! I'll constantly update the definitions on this list based on new information. See the end of the list for sources...there will be many in addition to the feedback I get here.

This ICO DEFINITION LIST works in tandem with this HOW TO EVALUATE ICO OPPORTUNITIES list.

First, I am gathering a list of terms to be defined. Let me know what you'd like to add:

DApp:
Token:
Utility Token:
Security Token:
Usage/Work Token:
Use Case:
Testnet:
MVP:
Hard Cap:
Soft Cap:
ROI:
Marketcap:
Freeze:
Vesting:
Staking:
Masternodes:

Thanks in advance for your collaboration!

Mining, Proof of Work, Proof of Stake, hashing, gas, gwei,
- there's also some platform specific ones like - IOTA's tangle, Ethereum's ERC-20 tokens, NEO's gas etc. which is dependent upon which platform a project wishes to run on

The list could be endless, but I wish you good luck with this compilation, it has a certain potential to help newcomers.

Thanks! I added the terms. What do you think about breaking all these definitions into sections? I'm thinking I could group definitions into the same sections on THE LIST

Appreciate your help!
