Snapshot
Fork
Hard forks are software updates that are backward-incompatible, which means that when they happen, nodes can add new rules in a way that conflicts with the rules of the old nodes.
New nodes can only communicate with others that operate exclusively on the new version, and as such, the blockchain splits and creates two separate networks, one network that follows the old rules, while the other follows the new rules.
As such, after this fork has occurred, there will essentially be two networks that run in parallel, and they will both continue to propagate blocks as well as transactions; however, they will no longer work on the same blockchain.
All of the nodes worked on an identical blockchain, up until the point of the forks, however, after it had occurred, they would have different blocks and transactions.
In other words, a hard fork is a radical change that results in two branches, the first branch follows the previous rules, and the second, the new branch follows the new rules.
Holders of the tokens of the original blockchains are granted tokens in the new fork as well, however, they have to make the choice of which blockchain they would like to continue verifying. This hard fork can occur throughout any blockchain, not just Bitcoin.
Bridge
In the crypto world, a bridge is a protocol that allows cryptocurrencies that were built on two separate chains to interact with one another. Currently, respective blockchains operate in silos, so users can only exchange bitcoin for bitcoin on its own blockchain. A bridge, on the other hand, permits users to send Bitcoin to the Ethereum blockchain, and more.
PRC
Remote Procedure Call are based on the client-server model, where multiple client computers may connect to a server and retrieve data from it.

Genesis Block
The genesis block contains all the essential information to configure the network as well as find related peers. It’s basically the config file for your Ethereum network. In fact to boot up your network, you actually need to pass in the location of the file as a param. The genesis file is a simple JSON file that contains config thresholds.
Liquidity Pool
A liquidity pool is the shared pool of tokens locked in a DEX smart contract in order to create liquidity for market participants. Basically, it’s a decentralized market and the critical working model of decentralized exchanges.
NFT
NFT stands for a non-fungible token, which means it can neither be replaced nor interchanged because it has unique properties. Features – Digital Asset – NFT is a digital asset that represents internet collectibles like art, music, and games with an authentic certificate created by blockchain technology that underlies Cryptocurrency.
