Glossary

Definitions

BPS (Blocks Per Second)	Block production rate. Current operational target documented here is 4 BPS, while dev mode can run with different intervals.
DAG	Directed Acyclic Graph used by Mazze for parent/referee block relationships.
DETS	DAG-Embedded Tree Structure used by consensus to order and process blocks.
Epoch	Ordered execution unit in Mazze. State/receipts commitments are handled with deferred epoch execution.
PoW (Proof of Work)	Consensus security model used by Mazze. Hashing is RandomX-based.
RandomX	PoW algorithm implementation used for nonce search and block validation.
Stratum	Mining mode where miners connect to a node's stratum endpoint and submit solutions.
CPU Mining	Mining mode where the node mines locally without external stratum workers.
Shielded Pool	Internal contract handling privacy-preserving deposits and spends with proof verification.
Groth16	Zero-knowledge proof system currently used in Mazze privacy implementation.
Poseidon Merkle Tree	Merkle structure used by the shielded pool for commitments and roots.
Nullifier	Unique value recorded in shielded spends to prevent double-spending of private notes.
Bridge Liquidity (Directional)	Bridge capacity is direction-dependent; one direction can pause if destination-side liquidity is insufficient.
Native Issuance	Supply accounting model: genesis + mined - burnt.
Mazze CLI	Command-line tool (`run/mazze-cli.sh`) for wallet, transfer, and shielded workflows via RPC.
RPC	JSON-RPC interfaces (Mazze native + EVM-compatible) exposed over HTTP/WS/TCP depending on config.
