What is blockchain?
A blockchain is a distributed recordkeeping system in which transactions are grouped, validated and recorded across a network rather than maintained exclusively by one central database operator.
Learn About Crypto
Understand the technology before you understand the market.
Digital assets introduce new networks, custody models, market structures and risks. The strongest starting point is understanding what you are interacting with.
Bitcoin
Bitcoin is a digital asset built around a decentralized network with a predetermined issuance model. Its market price can fluctuate significantly.
Ethereum
Ethereum is a blockchain network designed to support digital assets and programmable applications through smart contracts.
Stablecoins
Stablecoins such as USDT and USDC are designed to track a reference value such as the U.S. dollar, but they still carry issuer, reserve, liquidity, network and counterparty risks.
Wallets and custody
Digital assets are controlled through cryptographic keys. Whoever controls the relevant private key generally controls the ability to authorize transactions from the wallet.
Risk matters
Cryptocurrency markets may experience extreme volatility, cybersecurity incidents, liquidity changes, regulatory developments, operational failures and irreversible transaction errors.
Essential security
Protect the credentials that protect your assets.
Never send Enigma or another person your wallet seed phrase, private key or authentication code.
Verify wallet addresses and blockchain networks carefully before sending digital assets. Many blockchain transactions cannot simply be reversed after they are confirmed.
