APR, TGE, PNL

Here’s a detailed explanation of the three abbreviations "APR, TGE, PNL":

1. APR (Annual Percentage Rate)

Chinese Definition: Annual Percentage Yield (or Annual Interest Rate). Definition:

• A yearly percentage that measures investment returns or borrowing costs, commonly used to indicate the annual income level of assets (e.g., deposits, financial products, cryptocurrency staking).

• Calculation: Convert short-term returns (e.g., daily, weekly) to an annualized ratio based on the number of days in a year, facilitating intuitive comparisons of returns across different investments. Example:

• If a cryptocurrency staking project offers a daily yield of 0.05%, the APR = 0.05% × 365 ≈ 18.25%.

2. TGE (Token Generation Event)

Chinese Definition: Token Generation Event (or Token Launch Event). Definition:

• Typically refers to the process where a blockchain project first issues tokens and sells them to the public/investors, similar to an "IPO (Initial Public Offering)" in traditional finance.

• TGE is a critical fundraising stage for projects. Tokens are distributed via private sales, public offerings, IDOs (Initial DEX Offerings), etc., marking their official launch into circulation. Characteristics:

• Some projects release whitepapers and build community momentum before TGE to attract investor participation.

3. PNL (Profit and Loss)

Chinese Definition: Profit and Loss (or Gain and Loss). Definition:

• Used to measure profits or losses in trading, investments, or business activities, usually expressed in monetary amounts or percentages.

• In finance (e.g., stocks, futures, cryptocurrency trading), PNL is a core metric for evaluating the effectiveness of trading strategies. Categories:

• Unrealized PNL: Paper profits/losses from open positions that haven’t been closed.

• Realized PNL: Actual profits/losses generated after closing positions. Example:

• Buy a certain token at $100, and the current price is $120. The PNL is +$20 (unrealized) when the position remains open; if sold at $120, the PNL becomes +$20 (realized).
