Glossary of Terms

This glossary provides definitions for technical terms used throughout the ON1Builder documentation.

Blockchain Terms

MEV (Miner Extractable Value)

Value that can be extracted from blockchain users by miners or validators who can control transaction ordering within a block. ON1Builder helps identify and capture MEV opportunities.

RPC (Remote Procedure Call)

A protocol that enables a program to request a service from another program located on a different network without understanding network details. In blockchain, RPC endpoints allow interaction with the blockchain network.

DEX (Decentralized Exchange)

A type of cryptocurrency exchange that operates without a central authority, allowing for direct peer-to-peer cryptocurrency transactions.

Gas

A fee required to conduct a transaction or execute a contract on blockchain platforms like Ethereum. Gas is paid in the blockchain's native cryptocurrency.

Triangular Arbitrage

A trading strategy that exploits price discrepancies between three different assets to generate profit with minimal risk.

Flash Loan

A type of uncollateralized loan where assets are borrowed and returned within a single transaction block, commonly used in arbitrage and other MEV strategies.

ON1Builder-Specific Terms

Chain Worker

A component in ON1Builder that manages operations for a specific blockchain, handling transaction monitoring, submission, and other chain-specific tasks.

Safety Net

A component that implements protection mechanisms and fail-safes to prevent losses and ensure transaction integrity.

Transaction Core

The component responsible for handling transaction creation, signing, and submission across different blockchains.

Strategy

A defined approach to identify and execute profit opportunities. ON1Builder allows for both built-in and custom strategies.

Block Time

The average time interval between the creation of consecutive blocks in a blockchain. This varies significantly between different blockchains.

Gas Price Strategy

A method for determining the appropriate gas price for transactions. ON1Builder supports multiple strategies (e.g., "fast", "medium", "slow") to optimize transaction costs versus confirmation speed.
