Proof of Work vs Proof of Stake

Proof of Work (PoW) - A system for blockchain currencies in which the rewards given out for the creation of new blocks is given proportional to the computational resources contributed to the creation process. Called “mining”. Explained in more detail below.

Proof of Stake (PoS) - A system for blockchain currencies in which the rewards given out for the creation of new blocks is given proportional to people’s stake, or volume of currency. Explained in more detail below.

Airdrops

Airdrop means a coin/token is distributed to the community for free or for small tasks.

Airdrop is a way for some projects to introduce their tokens, and for the crypto community to get to know about their tokens and their developing project. This is one very effective way because airdrops are always characterized with very high anticipation among crypto fans. These airdrops are mostly free.

ERC-20

Tokens are essentially smart contracts that make use of the Ethereum blockchain. One of the most significant token standards of all for Ethereum is called ERC-20.

Token vs Coin

A crypto coin is just that: a coin, or means of payment, whilst a token has wider functionality.
Tokens are generally hosted on another blockchain.
