| Account policy | Native authorization rules for an address: signers, thresholds and versioned authority |
| Asset ID | Native ledger identifier; JOLT is 0 |

| Committee | Assigned members and weights for a consensus/authority context |
| Devnet | Local valueless development network with publicly known funded account keys |
| FNFT | Financial NFT representing a vested allocation; final presale mint and vesting terms remain to be defined |
| Genesis NFT | Presale launch allocation earned at cumulative spending thresholds; not minted by the Arc sale contract |

| Precompile | Native execution service exposed at an EVM address |
| Proof floor | Earliest retained range served for a particular historical proof family |
