Principles

Learn what dotHYPE is, why identity matters, and how modular naming unlocks reputation, clarity, and composability.

Naming in Web3 has been reduced to vanity. We believe it should be about legibility, structure, and coordination. At dotHYPE, we returned to first principles: what does identity infrastructure require in a modular, high-performance ecosystem like HyperEVM?

Our conclusions shaped every layer of our stack:

• Modularity: Registry, controller, and resolver are isolated components - independently upgradeable and designed to avoid monolithic bloat.

• Composability > Coupling: We respect ENS where it enhances interoperability, but discard legacy router patterns and static assumptions.

• Permissionless by Default: Access is fair, cryptographically verifiable, and free from gatekeeping.

• Community-Aligned: Roadmap is shaped in partnership with builders. Feedback is and keeping a close pulse to the voice of the user is paramount.

Names in dotHYPE aims to transcend its familiar limitations. They are containers for metadata, anchors of reputation, and primitives for coordination. We believe defaults encode values. That’s why our architecture reflects a moral stance as much as a technical one: sustainability over speculation, openness over opacity, structure over chaos.

Most systems retrofitted identity into rigid models. We started clean: modular, interoperable, and extensible from day one.
