Market Capitalization: the total value of a company's outstanding shares, calculated as stock price multiplied by number of shares outstanding. It classifies companies into small-cap, mid-cap, and large-cap categories.
Wallet
A tool (software or hardware) that stores your cryptocurrency private keys, allowing you to send, receive, and manage your digital assets. Wallets don't actually store your crypto — they store the keys needed to access it on the blockchain.

A secret cryptographic key that allows you to spend or transfer cryptocurrency from your wallet. Whoever controls the private key controls the associated cryptocurrency. Never share your private key with anyone.
Gas Fee
