The following is adapted from this [Agora post](https://forum.tezosagora.org/t/nomenclature/2376) by Tezos Co-founder Arthur Breitman. As noted in the post, there is no official body that can authoritatively set Tezos' nomenclature, but the following is recommended:

### Tezos
- **Tezos**

Used either as a noun or an adjective to designate:

* An open-source project and software (as in, "contributing to the Tezos codebase")
* A peer-to-peer network of nodes maintaining a blockchain (as in "a Tezos node")
* The specific Tezos chain with the most economic relevance (as in "the Tezos chain"). In particular, the chain whose [millionth block](https://tzkt.io/BKtC4QCWoF73kxLj773vFpQuuwrnye6PS7T1aM3XEPvFXiQbNu7/endorsements) had hash `BKtC4QCWoF73kxLj773vFpQuuwrnye6PS7T1aM3XEPvFXiQbNu7`.

### Tez
- **Tez**

A unit of the cryptocurrency native to a Tezos chain, such as in "I sent you 2 tez." Tez is invariable. It is not capitalized except at the beginning of a sentence or when you would otherwise capitalize a noun. "I sent you 2 tez" and not "2 Tez".

### XTZ
- **XTZ**

XTZ, tez, or ꜩ (`\ua729`, "Latin small letter tz") is the native currency of Tezos.

economic protocol and typically includes information such as

part of the context that tracks account credit.

### Economic protocol
- **Economic protocol**

The economic protocol is the set of rules defining valid operations and blocks, how the network agrees on the next block to build (the consensus algorithm),
and how operations update the blockchain state, also called context.

In Tezos, the economic protocol can be upgraded without interruption or
forking of the blockchain. This is because the procedure for an upgrade is also defined within the economic protocol, which can thus update itself.

### Fitness
- **Fitness**

(a.k.a. score, weight)
For each block, the consensus algorithm can compute a score called fitness which determines the quality of the chain leading to that block.
The shell changes the head of the chain to the valid block that has the highest fitness.

### Height
- **Height**

See level.

### Level
- **Level**

(a.k.a. block height)
The position of a block in the blockchain, that is, the number of blocks
since the genesis block, where the genesis block is at level 0.

### Node
- **Node**

A peer in the P2P network. It maintains a local state and propagates blocks
and operations.

### Operation
- **Operation**

An operation transforms the context; this is what makes the state of the chain
change. Operations are grouped into blocks; thus, the chain progresses in
batches.

### Score
- **Score**

See fitness.

### Shell
- **Shell**

The shell is a software component of the node. It is parameterized by a
specific economic protocol. It serves as the bridge between the P2P layer
(handling communication between nodes) and the economic protocol layer
(handling the context, operation application, scoring, etc.).

### Weight

- **Account**

An account is an address managed by the protocol.
In the context, each account is associated with a balance (an amount of
tez available).

An account can be a user account or a smart contract.

An operation in which an account designates a

- **Layer 1**

The primary blockchain i.e. the Tezos chain. Within any blockchain ecosystem, Layer 1 (L1) refers to the main chain to
which side chains, rollups, or other protocols connect and settle to. The Layer 1 chain is deemed to be most
secure, since it has the most value (or stake) tied to it, and be most decentralized and censorship resistant.
However, transaction space is limited leading to low throughput and possibly high transaction costs.
