AHM (Asset Hub Migration)
The migration that moved NPoS staking from the relay chain to Asset Hub. Since AHM, staking data and operations live on Asset Hub.
Asset Hub
The system parachain that manages assets — all PEZ-20 tokens and PEZ-721 NFTs — and, post-AHM, staking. Run by collators.
Bridge Hub
The system parachain dedicated to cross-network bridging.
Collator
A block producer for a parachain (Asset Hub, People Chain). Collators build parachain blocks and submit them with proofs to the relay chain's validators.
HEZ
The native gas and security token. Pays fees and is staked. Inflationary with a 48-month synthetic halving on rewards.
Nominator
A token holder who backs validators with staked HEZ to earn a share of rewards, without running infrastructure.
NPoS / TNPoS
Nominated Proof-of-Stake. PezkuwiChain uses TNPoS (Trust-enhanced NPoS), which factors on-chain reputation into validator selection.
People Chain
The system parachain handling identity and citizenship (including privacy-preserving KYC). Run by collators.
PEZ
The governance token. Carries voting weight and funds the treasury.
PEZ-20
The fungible token standard (runtime-native, backed by pallet-assets on Asset Hub). The Pezkuwi equivalent of ERC-20 / TRC-20.
PEZ-721
The non-fungible token standard (NFTs), backed by pallet-nfts on Asset Hub. The equivalent of ERC-721.
PezTreasury
The on-chain treasury pallet holding community PEZ funds, governed by Welati.
Perwerde
The education-platform pallet (perwerde = education).
Relay Chain
The central chain providing shared security via the validator set. Native gas: HEZ. ~6-second block time.
Validator
A node elected (via TNPoS) into the active set to produce and finalize relay-chain blocks and secure the network.
Welati
The on-chain governance pallet (welat = country/nation), managing proposals and referenda.
wHEZ
Wrapped HEZ — the Asset Hub representation of HEZ (Asset ID 2 at genesis).
@pezkuwi/* / pezkuwi-sdk
The sovereign packages PezkuwiChain publishes (a fork of the Polkadot SDK). Build with these instead of @polkadot/*.
