Two or more activities happening at different times or speeds, thereby indicating that they do not rely on each other and have no direct influence on each other.

Asynchronous activities or events are known by the fact that they do not harmonize with respect to time and speed of occurrence. When represented visibly, these events may even run parallel to one another, but there is generally either a lag in one in terms of trend or a difference in tempo. In computing, such events are said to be exclusive to or independent of one another, indicating that there is little or no meaningful relationship among the events.

In the crypto ecosystem, the concept of asynchronism commonly becomes a subject of discussion as regards the loop of activity and response across the nodes on blockchains. A somewhat advanced application of this characteristic is the matching of crypto price trends and market fluctuations to real-world situations and news.

A blockchain technology that is both smart and decentralized that allows users to exchange cryptocurrencies without going through crypto exchange platforms.

The atomic swap is an innovative smart contract technology that enables crypto traders to transact with other crypto traders without having to use established exchange platforms. As a result, traders can maintain their anonymity while trading, circumvent the charges required by exchange platforms for buying and selling cryptos, however small, and trade across blockchains without compulsorily securing native tokens.

Due to its purpose and application, atomic swap technology has been described as the very heart of the decentralization agenda in the blockchain revolution. This is on account of its distinctive peer-to-peer focus. However, even more importantly, atomic swap allows a user to trade different cryptos native to different blockchains. Thus, the technology is one of the leading examples of the cross-chain trading capabilities of the blockchain revolution.

A generally simple and straightforward collection of financial procedures, strategies, and mechanisms used to oversee assets to maintain their value or increase it over time.

Asset management is a broad field in the corporate world that is concerned with how non-digital and digital assets are managed. These assets could be in the form of funds (that is, fiat or crypto), possessions (buildings, cars, furniture), information, or investments. The primary goal of this field is to ensure that the value of the asset(s) in question is maintained within a specified period of time via tested strategies. Thus, asset management can be carried out by the individual or group who owns the assets or an agency acting in the interest of the owner.

Asset management is an important aspect of financial management, especially as it has to do with short and long-term investments, risk management, wealth building, and every other theme associated with the value of an asset.
