An honest look at what comes next. How we’re extending dotHYPE beyond names to unlock deeper identity, richer integrations, and a modular ecosystem that grows through deliberate iteration.
The future of identity isn't something we expect to achieve in a single release. It’s a long-term, purpose-driven journey. What launches today is the foundational layer of a much broader vision: a modular identity protocol that can evolve alongside the HyperEVM ecosystem. We’ve intentionally focused on doing the basics right: clean architecture, standard resolution, principled minting so that future layers can be built with confidence and without compromise.
Real identity infrastructure is iterative. It needs to be tested, stressed, and informed by how people actually use it. That’s why post-launch, our priorities shift toward listening, integrating, and extending.
Here’s what comes next:
Integration Support for HyperEVM Protocols
We’re working closely with our launch and post-launch partners to embed .hype resolution across their respective applications. This means leaderboard visibility, dashboard presence, user filtering, and other ways to give names real semantic weight. Every integration brings us closer to making identity actionable and legible by default.
Infrastructural and Metadata Refinement Our next major technical layer involves subgraph indexing and schema standardization. This unlocks structured metadata for names, enabling things like role tagging, reputation, and credential-based coordination. Think of this as the second foundation: not just who you are, but what you represent, fully onchain.
UX and Design Optimization
Identity should be intuitive and we recognize that needs to be developed with an active userbase. We’ll be refining our mint flows, profile displays, and SDK integration points so that .hype names are functional, frictionless, and expressive in every interface that supports it.
Deeper Integration with Strategic Partners Our beta-phase R&D begins here. We’ll work hand-in-hand with key partners to explore advanced identity use cases such as delegation flows, vault-level trust, and even digital passports that evolve over time. These partnerships will shape how identity in HyperEVM moves from static label to living credential.
By building modularly and deploying iteratively, we’re ensuring that dotHYPE launches with a product first focus that is informed by true UX necessity. The next chapter is about layering meaning, trust, and utility into every name.
