An assumption based on the values and ethos propagated Anonymous dev team through out their communications, all aligning with Bitcoin's YouTube (https://shorturl.at/AEFPZ) Notable is how well thought was the branding and Forum (https://forum.zenon.org) design of the project through its website and software Zenon started as a fork on PIVX network to bootstrap all things Zenon the community and initialize decentralization while Mainnet (NoM) was in development A whitepaper detailing the novel NoM was made Zenon's DeWork (https://app.dework.xyz/zenon) freelance for Zenon, dev and more available on the website (Professor Z as co-author) Reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/Zenon_Network) xStakes resembles a form of "vesting mechanism" Engagement Channels to receive and refund pledged BTC Zenon Community (https://t.me/Zenon_Community) price discussions, memes, and occasionally Shizo Pledged BTC to be locked for 2 years or until NoM is Inception was via a procedure known as "xStakes" ready, whichever is earlier (actual lock time was ~1.5 years) OTC Channel (https://t.me/znnotc) where early participants pledge 1 (or multiple) trusted escrow based trading First announced on Bitcointalk BTC and get ZNN in return, 1 BTC = 5k ZNN Refund is on monthly basis once requirements from Early Days Forum on 25th of May 2018 by the participants were met Zenon Build & Support (https://t.me/zenon_builders) user/pseudonym "Professor Z" a place for devs to engage on building Zenon Community The logistics of BTC during this process lead to speculations of there being some form of BTC smart contarcts maybe? PriceBot (https://t.me/DexRocket_zenon) Z-HUB (https://t.me/znnhub) The Wallet, supporting major OSs, was impressively mature from a Main Telegrams aggregator of Zenon matters and affairs Through a preparatory Wallet, participants were product standpoint, and unique in its functionality and design required to run and maintain nodes with the Accelerator-Z (https://t.me/acceleratorz_updates) received ZNN, locking it as collateral track of proposals announcements and updates These nodes were temporary placeholders before the eventual move to "Pillar" nodes on NoM as described in the Whitepaper Pillar Tracker (https://t.me/pillar_tracker) tracker of pillars operation status The algorithm managed the entirety of the process, This stream of operations (xStakes, rewards distribution...etc.), involving time limits, block caps, supply caps, it also had Code Review Club (https://t.me/zenon_wiki_code_review_club) was carried out within the Wallet by the "ZX Algorithm" the ability to change the Wallet to reflect project states Crypto Hales (https://t.me/Crypto_Hales) Project seed funding source is unknown (no VCs or known/named entities), the most successful project on ZNN additionally, no marketing efforts were expended during this phase Mainly developers, encouraged to Start and conclusion of the incentivized Testnet, introducing Quasar ($QSR) Network/Infrastructure development do so through AZ applications and Plasma Points ($PP) which are the basis for the Feeless property of NoM Legacy Pillars are the placeholder nodes before Development of BSC bridge for wZNN (wrapped the launch of NoM Phase 0 (~61 pillars) version of ZNN) for Liquidity participation Spawning requires 15k ZNN and at least 150k QSR, each new Pillar will require 10k more QSR as follows: Spawning a Pillar results in burning the [150k + (# of active Pillars - # of legacy Pillars) * 10k] Pillars Migration is done by swapping legacy ZNN to NoM ZNN using Syrius Wallet, QSR requirement (permanently lost), executers of NoM consensus and Launch of NoM Alphanet (Phase 0) on 19th November 2021 non-swapped legacy ZNN is decade (burned) by a % rate that increase on while ZNN can be unlocked governance protocol, maintain transaction and migration from the PIVX fork monthly basis, decay rate will be 100% by end of NoM Phase 0 (~early 2023) information, resource intensive The more delegation, the higher weight a Pillars receive network emissions of ZNN as momentum Release of NoM Syrius Wallet, the updated wallet for NoM Major Events Pillar has, top 30 heavy Pillars have higher and delegation rewards which can be shared with (2021-2022) chances of receiving momentum rewards delegators in exchange for their delegated ZNN Running and maintaining Active Launch of Accelerator-Z (AZ) program by unlocking AZ is an on-chain venture framework supporting wide one of 3 types of Nodes: ~800k ZNN and ~8m QSR of Zenon Fabric Fund variety of products/services relevant to NoM expansion. Both requirements are unlockable Spawning requires upon deactivation of node 5k ZNN and 50k QSR Sentinels trustless observers performing PoW links Launch of the Zenon Token Standard (ZTS), a protocol to generate Plasma Points for feeless for NoM native assets other than ZNN and QSR Receives both ZNN transactions, moderate resource usage Participation and Contribution on NoM and QSR as rewards Launch of Liquidity program with 1.8m QSR rewards for liquidity providers Sentries basic nodes, store pruned versions of transactions (lightweight) for specific accounts, minimal resource usage, expected availability in NoM Phase 1 (~early 2023) Release of the NFT Standard article Community to develop/implement All participates with suitable skills, AZ applications encouraged Marketing, partnerships, community management, and publications Adoption and growth Fair launch with no VCs or known/named entities Delegation Novel L1 tech with dual-ledger adding weight (delegating) to a Pillar of choosing, receive ZNN as return from the pillar's generated share of Scalable, huge throughput protentional, ~100k TBS (expected at certain conditions, after NoM Phase 0) (Meta-DAG + Block-Lattice) architecture momentum rewards Foundation for mass-scalable zApps based on unikernels Staking Passive (minimal, standalone virtual machines) controlled by smart contracts locking up ZNN for a period of time (multiples of 1 month), receive QSR as return Productive asset, generates QSR when staked Provide liquidity and ZNN when delegated on Syrius Wallet of wZNN with a paired asset (BSC's wBNB currently), receive QSR in return, can be up to 10x boost that of Sentinels The main NoM coin, disinflationary, circulating $ZNN Collateral for spawning nodes, of which supply of 8.05m until the end of NoM Phase 0 Custody Zenon there are 3: Pillars, Sentinels, and Sentries of NoM assets, including NFTs (upon development) The Network of Momentum (NoM) Means of value transfer Delegation Based on a duel-coin economy, operating of ZNN to a Pillar of choosing and receive ZNN in return through Zenon (ZNN) and Quasar (QSR) Enables the feeless fast transactions property when fused (temporarily locked) to generate Plasma Points Staking of ZNN for various monthly time locks and receive QSR in The secondary NoM coin, disinflationary, estimated return total supply of 30.2m, circulating supply is based on a Collateral for spawning nodes $QSR mint/burn mechanism, nominally pegged with ZNN at Spawn Nodes 10 QSR = 1 ZNN Dynamic and limited to prevent Pillars, Sentinel, in addition to Sentries (upon availability) network spamming through Plasma Tokenizes network throughput AZ fund has ~800k ZNN and ~8m QSR seeded from Zenon Fabric Fund Main Characteristics and Features Offers a solution to the "Trilemma" of Creating a proposal requires 1 ZNN, which is sent to AZ fund address Security, Scalability, and Decentralization A main participation hub of for NoM, A proposal has to be structured over 3 phases, completion of each triggers release of Submission of Proposals and Voting Syrius Wallet with full embedded node, enabling: tied allocated funds, subject to a consensus on completion and passing votes by Pillars creation of AZ applications for Pillars to vote on 1000 PP = 1 QSR A proposal is capped at 5k ZNN and 50k QSR for requested amount of funds Fusing 50 QSR generates the minimum Minimum PP allows execution of "simple" amount of PP for transacting without PoW transactions (i.e. cross address transfers) Fusing (locking) QSR Voting is executed by Pillars only for a minimum of 10 hours Through the Plasma Points Paradigm 120+ fused QSR generate enough PP for majority of transaction types wZNN is currently only available for BSC Network, up to the Feeless protocol Plasma Points ($PP) open network throughput community to develop other wrappers for other networks for transactions on NoM, can be generated by: Fusion of more QSR generates more PP allowing for more transactions Bridging and Liquidity bridge ZNN to wZNN (wrapped version), and complexity (such as spawning nodes, i.e. Pillars or Sentinels) Providing liquidity rewards the providers with QSR and liquidity of wZNN with a paired asset returns which are higher than Staking returns PoW Links are small computation proofs carried out by Sentinels Proof-of-Work (PoW) Links where each will relay a completed portion to other Sentinels until (more hardware intensive) the Link is completed Creation of ZTS assets each asset created requires burning 1 ZNN Interoperability, especially with Bitcoin as it has Fun fact, first Bitcoin Taproot Block 709632 includes an Dashboarding of NoM vital been alluded to by the core dev team ASCII art of the Zenon logo embedded by core
