WP1 Branding

The aforementioned Betanet concept:

I think we should also clearly distinguish between
HyperQube and hyperqube_z

HyperQube will be an ecosystem of extension chains

hyperqube_z is a specific extension chain serving as a betanet

One good question that Stark had was “When do things deserve their own names?” such as the Hyperion he suggested?

Does a betanet need one?

Maybe we could ditch the Hyperxxxxx terms and roll with:

Zenon Alphanet
Zenon Betanet

I am a very creative person but in reality self-descriptive branding is a best practice. And we want to concentrate on reinforcing “ZENON”

Zenon is already a great brand. There may be no need to invent another one.

It would be easy to just say “it’s live on the betanet” - you can bridge to “the betanet”, “it was tested on Betanet” - and it would be a lot easier for anyone to understand what that means without saying “well, it’s like Kusama, have you heard of Kusama? It’s thing other chain related to Po… :skull:”.

“Betanet” saves a lot of energy from perpetual branding and marketing and educating, because it’s name says what it is.

And it is immediately clear that Betanet emissions exist for Betanet utility.

hyperqube_z will be A betanet, but not necessarily THE betanet
The HC1 incubator will also be a product, on a specific chain

i do think from a marketing perspective, “launching hyperqubes” is more memetic than “launching zenon extension chains”, even if they mean the same thing

i agree we need to focus on the Zenon Brand as the underlying ecosystem
But we shouldn’t go against the natural force of language to create names for things that need them for communication efficiency
Especially out of fear

iirc, you are a fan of Ordinals
Would it be smart to drop the name Ordinals and talk about them using the phrase “Bitcoin segwit data NFTs”?

Zenon Network: Efficient and feeless L1 with Bitcoin ethos

HyperQube: Community Driven. L2 Extension Chains. [for] Zenon the Network of Momentum.
(that’s what is on the https://www.hyperqube.network/ website right now)

hyperqube_z: HyperCore One’s flagship extension chain. AZ incubator for collaborative development. Betanet features for rapid development.

I think it is fairly straightforward. The branding just needs to clearly communicate these relationships.

We need a branding for HyperQube. For hyperqube_z, the specific extension chain, I don’t think we need much.

just drop the segwit data :smirk:

Not all Bitcoin NFTs are Ordinals, but those probably all are

Can we stack two of these cubes on top of each other?
put a Z in one, and an N in another?

it would be take on the classic ZN logo, and adding in another dimension

HyperQube: A community-driven framework for developing extended features for Zenon the Network of Momentum.

BetaNet: A dynamic experimental network accelerating innovation through incentivized prioritization within the Accelerator-Z ecosystem.

So early on my thought was:

hyperqube_z: Zenon based betanet
hyperqube_s: Solana based extension chain
hyperqube_b: Bitcoin/elements based extension chain

aliencoder suggested supernova under hyperqube as
hyperqube_nova

BetaNet HyperQube
Supernova HyperQube
Solanom HyperQube

that’s even more names to keep track of :joy:

HyperQube is the ecosystem, the framework, the tooling stack

hyperqube_<something> are just codes to refer to specific chains within the ecosystem.
It was purposely done that way to de-emphasize any chain in particular. It’s an ID.

Goerli Testnet
[name = random] [purpose = test stuff]

Supernova HyperQube
[name = random] [purpose = enhance Zenon]

long term we’ll probably drop the lastname, nobody says testnet for goerli

In the future maybe, if extension chains really take off, maybe they’ll just have numbers

I need a branding package for HyperQube.
I don’t need a chain specific one for hyperqube_z.
