This is not a particularly egregious example, but it's kind of spectacular how everything crypto adjacent revels in technobabble.

The detractors of the ecosystem (myself included, to be honest) will be quick to point out that obfuscating the tech as magic as much as possible, as well as creating an inside group lingo, is key to onboarding and retaining people into it. But it's fascinating how that percolates throughout the dev community behind it as well.
