# Glossary

### **dApps**

Decentralised Applications built on top of Web 3.0 technologies. In the context of Curator, a dApp is an application using the Curator engine and its underlying smart contracts.

### **Curator engine**

The Hugs Web 3.0 technology, allowing the easy creation of dApps for the collaborative economy. These dApps are based on predictive interactions of their users.

### **Contributors**

Users making contributions. They are rewarded with reputation (saved in a Soulbound NFT), $HUGS tokens, and potentially secondary rewards.

### **Reviewers**

Users evaluating contributions to assure the data quality.

### **Clients**

Businesses or individuals who build dApps on the Curator engine.

### $**HUGS**

The $HUGS token is the native utility token used in the Curator ecosystem and the Curator infrastructure.

### **NFT**

A non-fungible token is a token that represents ownership of a digital good. In the case of Curator, NFTs are used to represent the on-chain reputation of users, applications, and clients.

### **Smart Contracts**

Code running on the blockchain. Once deployed, its business logic is transparent and cannot be changed.

### **Web 3.0**

The movement towards a more decentralised internet where applications use blockchain technology to give users more control over their actions and data instead of relying on centralised technology companies.
