== Appendix A: Glossary ==

* ''Base Layer (BL)'': The foundational layer providing consensus and data availability
* ''Blend Network'': A specialized privacy system for Private Proof of Stake consisting of:
** ''PTM (Persistent Transmission Module)'': Manages validator connections and drop messages
** ''MBM (Message Blending Module)'': Processes consensus messages through mixing and timing obfuscation
** ''CTM (Cover Traffic Module)'': Generates anonymity sets through cover messages
* ''Coordination Layer (CL)'': The layer handling proof verification and cross-zone communication
* ''Cryptarchia'': A consensus protocol that works with Blend Network to implement Private Proof of Stake
* ''Data Availability Sampling'': A technique for efficient data verification
* ''Intent'': A high-level description of desired transaction outcomes
* ''libp2p-mix'': A P2P networking module providing general network-level privacy
* ''Light Node'': A resource-efficient node for network verification
* ''Private Proof of Stake'': A privacy-preserving consensus mechanism implemented through Blend Network and Cryptarchia
* ''Zero-Knowledge Proof'': A cryptographic method for verifying computations
* ''Zone'': An independent execution environment with sovereign state
* ''Cross-Zone Communication'': Interaction between different execution environments
