# Glossary

Here’s a **glossary** for the *ONOCOY: Enabling Mass Adoption of High Precision GNSS Positioning Using Web3* whitepaper (Version 2.0.0). It includes key technical, economic, and organizational terms from the document:

***

#### 📖 **Glossary**

**A**

* **Availability Scale**: A component of miner rewards based on the continuity and completeness of GNSS data streams.

**B**

* **Base Reward**: A fixed reward given to GNSS data contributors (miners) independent of actual data usage.
* **Blockchain**: A decentralized digital ledger used in onocoy for governance, token economy, and transaction records.

**C**

* **CORS (Continuously Operating Reference Station)**: A GNSS reference station that streams data continuously to support high-precision positioning.
* **Cryptoeconomic Design**: The token-based incentive system used by onocoy to ensure fair participation, reward distribution, and sustainability.
* **Caster**: A system component that distributes GNSS correction data in real-time to users.

**D**

* **Data Credit**: A non-transferable token pegged to fiat value, used to access GNSS data streams within onocoy.
* **DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network)**: A web3 model for building physical infrastructure through tokenized, community participation.
* **Decentralization**: Distribution of decision-making, validation, and system control across the community, reducing reliance on central authorities.

**E**

* **Early Mover Boost**: An incentive multiplier in the base reward for early contributors/miners.
* **Ecosystem Fund**: A portion of token revenues reserved for development and maintenance of the onocoy system.

**F**

* **FIAT**: Traditional government-issued currency (e.g., USD, EUR), used as a price anchor for data credits.

**G**

* **GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System)**: A system that provides geolocation and time information via satellite constellations (e.g., GPS, Galileo).
* **Governance**: The decision-making framework for managing the onocoy system, including token-holder voting and Swiss association oversight.

**L**

* **Location Scale**: A reward modifier that encourages spatial distribution of GNSS stations by penalizing clustering.

**M**

* **Miner**: A participant who operates a GNSS reference station, contributing data to the onocoy platform.
* **MQTT**: A lightweight messaging protocol used in the onocoy communication backbone.

**N**

* **NTRIP (Networked Transport of RTCM via Internet Protocol)**: A protocol used to stream GNSS correction data.
* **Non-transferable Token**: A token that cannot be traded or resold, used within a closed system like data credits in onocoy.

**O**

* **ONO Token**: A capped, deflationary utility token used to incentivize participation and governance in the onocoy network.
* **Oracle**: A mechanism that ensures stable fiat pricing for data credits by adjusting ONO-token exchange rates.

**P**

* **PPP (Precise Point Positioning)**: A GNSS technique that provides high-precision positioning using correction models.
* **Proof-of-Stake**: A consensus mechanism proposed for validators to establish trust and ensure data quality in decentralized systems.

**Q**

* **Quality Scale**: A reward component measuring GNSS data quality based on signal type, precision, and consistency.

**R**

* **RTK (Real-Time Kinematic)**: A high-precision GNSS technique that uses data from a nearby reference station to correct position estimates.
* **Reward Commission**: The entity responsible for setting base reward values and modifiers in onocoy’s tokenomics.

**S**

* **Smart Contract**: Self-executing code deployed on the blockchain, used to manage transactions and governance rules in onocoy.
* **Spoofing**: A malicious practice of transmitting fake GNSS signals to deceive receivers.
* **Synthetic Measurements**: Artificial GNSS data mimicking real signals, considered fraudulent in the onocoy context.

**T**

* **Teal Organization**: An organizational model based on self-management, wholeness, and evolutionary purpose—used by onocoy’s core team.
* **Tokenomics**: The study and design of onocoy’s token economy, including supply, distribution, and incentives.

**U**

* **Usage Reward**: A performance-based reward given to miners whose stations are used more frequently by customers.

**V**

* **Validator**: A participant responsible for verifying the authenticity and quality of GNSS data using advanced statistical and geospatial methods.
