# Glossary of Terms

This glossary provides a comprehensive overview of terms and concepts within the Tagomi ecosystem.

### General Conceptual Terms[​](https://docs.superfluid.finance/docs/concepts/glossary#general-conceptual-terms) <a href="#general-conceptual-terms" id="general-conceptual-terms"></a>

Tagomi **Ecosystem**: The collective of users and Super Apps utilizing real-time finance through Tagomi.

**Real-Time Finance**: The movement of money on a second-by-second basis enabled by Tagomi's smart contract framework.

### Super Tokens[​](https://docs.superfluid.finance/docs/concepts/glossary#super-tokens) <a href="#super-tokens" id="super-tokens"></a>

**Super Token**: Tokens used in all Tagomi operations. Types include BEP20 Wrapper Tokens, Pure Super Tokens, and Native Asset Super Tokens. Detailed information is available in our Super Tokens section.

**Wrap**: The process of converting BEP20 tokens into wrapped super tokens. This involves transferring BEP20 assets into the wrapper contract and receiving an equivalent amount of super tokens.

**Unwrap**: Converting wrapped super tokens back into their underlying BEP20 assets. This involves burning super tokens and transferring the underlying asset to the user.

**Real Time Balance**: A dynamic calculation of an account's balance, considering both Tagomi agreement logic and static token balances.

### Agreements[​](https://docs.superfluid.finance/docs/concepts/glossary#agreements) <a href="#agreements" id="agreements"></a>

Tagomi **Agreement**: Additional functionalities for Super Tokens provided by the Tagomi protocol. Examples include the Constant Flow Agreement and the Instant Distribution Agreement, with potential for more in the future.

**Constant Flow Agreement (CFA)**: An agreement allowing perpetual, second-by-second movement of Super Tokens between addresses.

**Instant Distribution Agreement (IDA)**: An agreement for mass dispersion of Super Tokens to multiple addresses based on distribution shares or "units" at a fixed gas cost.

**Flow**: A continuous money stream from one address to another. A sender can maintain only one flow to the same receiver per token.

**Flow Rate**: The amount of tokens sent in a stream, denominated in wei per second.

**Net Flow Rate**: The net amount of tokens sent or received per second by an account for a specific token.

**ACL (Access Control List)**: A feature enabling varying levels of control to operators for creating, updating, or deleting streams on behalf of an account.

**Index**: A pool created using the Instant Distribution Agreement.

**Publisher**: The creator of an Index.

**Units**: Shares denoting an address’s share of an IDA index, interchangeable with "distribution shares".

**Distribution**: The action of sending tokens to addresses owning shares in an index, proportionate to the number of shares held.

### Protocol[​](https://docs.superfluid.finance/docs/concepts/glossary#protocol) <a href="#protocol" id="protocol"></a>

**Callback**: A function that automatically executes when specific actions are taken. Super Apps use callbacks to respond to Tagomi-related actions.

**User Data**: Data that can be included with Tagomi function calls and utilized within Super App callbacks.

**Batch Calls**: A Super Token feature allowing multiple actions to be executed in a single transaction.

**The** Tagomi **Host**: The core of the protocol, processing function calls and facilitating protocol governance and Super App callbacks.

**Resolver**: A contract assisting in locating all protocol constituent contract addresses.

### Sentinels & Solvency[​](https://docs.superfluid.finance/docs/concepts/glossary#sentinels--solvency) <a href="#sentinels--solvency" id="sentinels--solvency"></a>

**Buffer**: Tokens locked temporarily when a stream starts.

**Liquidation**: The process initiated by a sentinel when an account's balance reaches zero while streaming funds.

**Sentinel**: A node monitoring the Tagomi network and closing critical or insolvent streams. Anyone can run a sentinel node.

**PIC (Patrician in Charge)**: The recipient of rewards for closing streams during the priority period when an account becomes critical.

**TOGA (Transparent Ongoing Auction)**: An auction allowing individuals to become the PIC by staking a higher amount than the current PIC.

**Stake**: Funds locked in the TOGA contract by the PIC.

**Top Up**: Adding to a Super Token balance to prevent liquidation due to a zero balance.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://tagomisystems.gitbook.io/tagomi-docs/tagomi-1/advanced-topics/glossary-of-terms.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
