W. Scott Stornetta

W. Scott Stornetta was a visionary ahead of his time, so far ahead that in 1991 he was already talking about blockchain technology or blockchain, which has led him to be considered the “Father of the Blockchain”.

Wallet

It is the software that allows the storage and transaction of cryptocurrencies without permission or mediation from anyone. There are different types (web, desktop or mobile) there are even physical wallets called cold wallets.

Wallet Hardware

They are in the Cold Wallet category and are normally USB format drives that connect to the computer and allow us to store our cryptocurrencies safely and private keys. They usually offer the option of adding a PIN to unlock the unit.

HD Wallet (Hierarchical Deterministic Wallet)

They are a type of cryptocurrency wallet that allows the use of a series of codes or mnemonic words that help to recover the private key and with it the funds they retain.

Mobile Wallet

Android smartphone applications, iOS or other operating system for portable terminals that allows you to store and manage our cryptocurrencies, as well as make payments quickly and easily.

Paper Wallet

Process by which the private key of a Bitcoin address (or any other cryptocurrency) is on paper. In this way, you can send funds to the associated address, without running the risk that the private key is in a program with an Internet connection. In turn, this process is also a Cold Wallet or Cold Storage. When you want to regain control of the funds, you must enter this key in a clientse (of the corresponding cryptocurrency) with an Internet connection.

Waves (WAVES)

Waves is an interesting project that seeks to create an integrated blockchain technology platform especially focused on allowing companies and startups to grow and finance their projects.

Web3.0

Web 3.0 refers to a group of technologies that make it possible to build semantic and decentralized online services, which take advantage of new technologies such as blockchain, to give us total control of content, better security and privacy.

Web3War

Web3WAR is a free-to-play multiplayer first-person shooter (FPS) that prioritizes entertainment and high-quality gameplay, built on the Zilliqa blockchain, with full cross-play and cross-progression capability, rewarding players for their gameplay.

Wei Dai

Wei Dai, is a renowned cryptographer and member of the cypherpunk community, well known for his contributions to the field of study. In the world of cryptocurrencies, he will be remembered for placing a key precursor proposition for Bitcoin just before the inception of Satoshi Nakamoto and for the crypto library “crypto ++”.

wETH (Wrapped Ethereum)

wETH is a special type of ERC-20 token that aims to facilitate different exchange operations between the different decentralized platforms that are part of the vast Ethereum ecosystem.

WEMIX

WEMIX or WEMIX3.0 is a global blockchain-based gaming platform that has been developed by the Korean company WEMADE, with which it seeks to conquer the blockchain gaming space.

Whitepaper

Technical document that describes the main characteristics or properties of a project based on blockchain technology and its corresponding cryptocurrency.

Wladimir Van Der Laan

Wladimir Van Der Laan is one of the great Bitcoin developers, but also one of the least known in his private life. This is added to a demure public life, where his best known contributions are the development of a graphic driver and being the current Bitcoin Lead Developer.
