| server | node | A server is software and/or hardware, especially the ones that connect to the XRP Ledger peer-to-peer network. The term _node_ is sometimes used for this purpose but is also overloaded with other meanings including entries in a graph and Node.js, a JavaScript interpreter. |
|
||||
| stablecoin issuer | gateway | An issuer is the organization that issues a token in the XRP Ledger. A stablecoin is a token where the issuer promises that it is fully backed by some outside asset (such as fiat currency), with the stablecoin issuer providing deposit and withdraw operations to convert between the two (possibly for a fee). Previously the term _gateway_ was used (especially by Ripple, the company) to describe this use case, but the rest of the industry adopted _stablecoin issuer_ instead. |
|
||||
| transaction cost | transaction fee | The amount of XRP burnt to send a transaction in the XRP Ledger. Even though this is specified in the `Fee` field of transactions, the term _fee_ implies that the money is paid to someone, so _cost_ is preferable. |_
