Read the first 7 Blockchain & Cryptocurrency Integration flashcards as text

  1. Which cryptographic method allows one party to prove knowledge of a secret without revealing the secret itself, increasingly used in privacy-focused DeFi?

    Answer: Zero-Knowledge Proof (ZKP)

    Zero-Knowledge Proofs enable a prover to convince a verifier that a statement is true without disclosing the underlying data, enabling privacy-preserving transactions.

  2. A fintech platform integrating blockchain for cross-border payments must address SWIFT's role. Which blockchain-based initiative most directly competes with SWIFT for correspondent banking?

    Answer: Ripple's XRP Ledger and RippleNet network

    Ripple's XRP Ledger and RippleNet are specifically designed for fast, low-cost international bank-to-bank settlements, directly targeting SWIFT's correspondent banking market.

  3. What is the 'double-spend problem' and how does Bitcoin solve it?

    Answer: Spending the same digital coin twice; solved by a distributed public ledger with proof-of-work consensus

    Bitcoin solves double-spending by recording all transactions on a shared public ledger where proof-of-work consensus makes it computationally infeasible to alter transaction history.

  4. Under the EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation, which category of token requires issuers to maintain a reserve backing of at least 1:1?

    Answer: Asset-Referenced Tokens (ARTs) and E-Money Tokens (EMTs)

    MiCA requires issuers of Asset-Referenced Tokens and E-Money Tokens to maintain adequate liquid reserves at a 1:1 ratio to protect holders.

  5. What is 'tokenization of real-world assets (RWA)' in fintech?

    Answer: Representing ownership of physical or financial assets as digital tokens on a blockchain

    RWA tokenization creates digital blockchain-based representations of real-world assets like real estate, bonds, or commodities, enabling fractional ownership and 24/7 trading.

  6. What risk does 'rug pull' describe in the DeFi ecosystem?

    Answer: Developers abandoning a project and draining liquidity after investors buy in

    A rug pull occurs when project developers suddenly withdraw all liquidity or funds and abandon the project, leaving investors with worthless tokens.

  7. Which blockchain data structure ensures that altering any historical record would invalidate all subsequent blocks?

    Answer: Cryptographic hash chaining where each block contains the previous block's hash

    Each block contains a cryptographic hash of the previous block, creating a chain where modifying any block changes its hash and breaks the link to all blocks that follow.
