What is Staking Pool?
A staking pool allows multiple stakeholders (or bagholders) to combine their computational resources as a way to increase their chances of being rewarded. In other words, they unite their staking power in the process of verifying and validating new blocks, so they have a higher probability of earning the block rewards.
The overall idea of the staking pool model is quite similar to the traditional mining pool, which involves the pooling of hash rate in a Proof of Work (PoW) blockchain. However, the staking pool setup is only available on blockchains that employ the Proof of Stake(PoS) model or, in non-POS systems through protocol design features.
Typically, a staking pool is managed by a pool operator and the stakeholders that decide to join the pool have to lock their coins in a specific blockchain address (or wallet).
While some pools require users to stake their coins with a third party, there are many other alternatives that allow stakeholders to contribute with their staking power while still holding their coins in a personal wallet. For instance, the so-called cold staking pools enable a more secure model, as users can participate in the staking process while keeping their funds on a hardware wallet.
Compared to solo staking, a staking pool will give smaller rewards because each successful block forging (validation) will split the rewards among the many participants of the pool.
In addition, most pools will charge fees, which will reduce even more the final payout. On the other hand, staking pools provide more predictable and frequent staking rewards. Other than that, they allow stakeholders to make a passive income without having to worry about the technical implementation and maintenance of setting up and running a validating node.

What is a Snapshot?
Traditionally, the term snapshot refers to the ability to record the state of a computer system or storage device at a specific point in time. In cryptocurrencies, a snapshot is often describing the act of recording the state of a blockchain on a particular block height.
In this case, the snapshot records the contents of the entire blockchain ledger, which includes all existing addresses and their associated data (transactions, fees, balance, metadata, and so on).
Snapshots are commonly used during airdrops events before each round takes place. During an airdrop, tokens are distributed based on the balance of each blockchain address.
In this case, snapshots are taken to record the balance of each token holder, at a specific point in time (i.e., block height). In most cases, users can move their funds after the snapshot is taken, without compromising their eligibility to participate in that round of distribution.
Snapshots are also important during blockchain hard forks, as they mark the block height in which the main chain will be recorded before giving birth to the new chain.
For instance, when the Bitcoin Cash hard fork took place (on August 1st, 2017), every blockchain address that had Bitcoins at block 478,558, had the balance copied on the Bitcoin Cash blockchain. The reason for that is because both blockchains share the same historical data prior to the fork. As soon as the split is done, each blockchain network will operate independently.

What is Transactions Per Second (TPS)?
In the context of blockchains, transactions per second (TPS) refers to the number of transactions that a network is capable of processing each second.
The approximate average TPS of the Bitcoin blockchain is about 5 – though this may vary at times. Ethereum in contrast, can handle roughly double that amount.
The development of technologies that increase the transaction rate of blockchains has been an important area of research over the years. These decentralized networks pose completely new challenges in terms of their ability to scale for increased demand.
This challenge isn’t purely about increasing TPS. Centralized databases are already capable of handling thousands of transactions each second. VISA, for example, handles around 1,500-2000 transactions each second. So why not just use these solutions? Well, the main problem is that Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other blockchains aim to compete with that while still maintaining a high degree of decentralization.
Decentralization comes at the cost of performance and security. So, these scalability solutions not only need to increase the performance of the network but, at the same time, also maintain all the other desirable properties of blockchain. Otherwise, blockchain isn’t really anything more than an inefficient database.
