Glossary of Terms

Term	Definition
PoV (Proof of Validation)	The on-chain mechanism through which security events are cryptographically verified and recorded on the BNB blockchain.
Validator Node	A distributed node responsible for signing, verifying, and anchoring event proofs in exchange for $LATT rewards.
AI Agent / Endpoint Agent	A lightweight executable that runs on endpoints or servers to detect anomalies, gather telemetry, and communicate with the Secure Lattice network.
Federated Learning	A machine learning method that enables model training across decentralized data sources without sharing raw data.
Differential Privacy	A mathematical approach that introduces controlled noise into data outputs to protect individual privacy during AI training.
Merkle Root	The top hash of a Merkle tree representing aggregated event proofs, used to guarantee data integrity and non-repudiation.
On-Chain Proof	A cryptographically verifiable record stored on the BNB blockchain, representing the validation of one or more events.
Zero Trust	A security architecture assuming no implicit trust between systems, continuously verifying every device and user interaction.
Event Anchor	The immutable blockchain transaction representing a validated and timestamped security event batch.
$LATT Token	The utility and governance token of the Secure Lattice ecosystem. It powers staking, validator incentives, and network coordination.
