ZHChain Hyper Network Overview

Overall Overview

ZHChain Hyper Network is a multi‑layer ecosystem built on two independent Layer‑1 blockchains and multiple layers of service networks and applications.

• ZHChain Hyper Network — the umbrella brand.
• Layer1a — ZHCash Public Chain — the public open layer.
• Layer1b — ZHChain Evolution Network (EVN, Evolution Virtual Network) — enterprise/gov‑oriented network.
• L2/L3 solutions and applications run on top (DeFi, NFT, business services, clubs, etc.).

Layer1a: ZHCash Public Chain

The base network ZHCash (Layer1a) combines:

• Bitcoin UTXO model
• EVM compatibility
• Proof‑of‑Stake and Delegated Proof‑of‑Stake mechanisms

Role of Layer1a:

• public open layer of value and liquidity
• base token ZHC as the main gas and economic anchor
• launch of public dApps, DeFi services, NFT platforms, and Bitcoin‑oriented solutions (e.g., Bitcoin Light Network)

Layer1b: ZHChain Evolution Network (EVN)

The second Layer‑1 network is built on Polygon Edge with IBFT/PoA consensus and an economic PoS overlay.

Key properties of Layer1b:

• instant block finality and high performance
• strict control of the validator set
• ability to deploy private and consortium networks
• full staking, delegation, reward distribution, and governance system

Role of Layer1b:

• corporate and governmental contour
• platform for digital financial assets, corporate registries, RWA, and internal blockchains
• “white,” governed environment compatible with regulatory requirements

EVN Gas Token (Evolution Virtual Network)

Layer1b uses a separate gas token EVN, which:

• is not sold directly on the market and not distributed via ICO/IEO
• serves as gas and an economic tool within Layer1b
• is created and distributed strictly by protocol

EVN can be obtained only:

1. via conversion of the base token ZHC through the bridge protocol between Layer1a and Layer1b
2. by validators/participants operating under the rules of both networks

This approach:

• links the public network economy with the corporate contour
• protects Layer1b from pure speculation
• cements EVN’s role as a utility/gas token for Evolution Virtual Network

Hypernodes and the Bridge Between Layers

Hypernodes are validators that support consensus in both Layer1a and Layer1b.

Hypernodes:

• run a full ZHCash node and a full ZHChain Evolution Network node
• participate in the ZHC → EVN conversion mechanism
• ensure state consistency between networks
• serve as infrastructure points for L2/L3 services

The ZHC ↔ EVN bridge works as:

• one‑way or asymmetric conversion ZHC → EVN for gas in Layer1b
• reverse EVN → ZHC is absent or strictly limited to keep Layer1b as infrastructure, not a speculative market

Service Layers (Layer2 / Layer3)

Additional layers operate above the two base networks:

• Layer2 — specialized networks (Bitcoin Light Network, industry rollups, payment channels, etc.)
• Layer3 — application platforms:
  • DEX/swap services (e.g., ZEROSWAP, DAX)
  • launchpads and token platforms
  • NFT marketplaces and metaverses
  • business apps, clubs, and enterprise digitalization services

Final Picture

Combined, this forms the ZHChain Hyper Network — a global information system where:

• the public layer (ZHCash Public Chain) and the governed enterprise contour (Evolution Virtual Network) are linked via hypernodes and bridges
• networks evolve independently, serving different user classes and regulatory needs
• EVN acts as the gas token of the second contour and the bridge between public crypto‑economy and regulated digital assets
