Crypto knowledge map
Crypto knowledge map
This page links all DecAIHub crypto explainers and shows how they connect. Use it when a project card names a chain, token, or domain you need to decode.
In short: a map, not an encyclopedia; headings below link to standalone articles.
Start here
Read these five first, then How to read a project card:
- What is a blockchain
- What does decentralized mean
- What is a smart contract
- What is a crypto wallet
- What is DeFi

What is DeFi → What is a DEX → Agents for DeFi → What is an AI agent
Path 3: "I want to understand project tokens"
What is a token standard → What is a token model → What is tokenomics → What is staking
Path 4: "I want to understand network architecture"
What is a blockchain network → What is a Layer 1 (L1) blockchain → What is a Layer 2 (L2) blockchain → What is the EVM → What is consensus in blockchain
How crypto connects to AI in DecAIHub
Cards pair AI fields with crypto fields. The thesis block uses AI reality, Onchain necessity, and Token necessity — see AI reality, Onchain necessity and Token necessity. The AI knowledge map covers AI explainers; this map covers chains, tokens, and infrastructure.
