EVOLUTION888 / Evolution Virtual Network (EVN)
EVOLUTION888 (Evolution Virtual Network, EVN token) is the second base network of the ZHChain ecosystem, built on Polygon Edge (IBFT) and closely connected to the main network ZHCash (Layer1a).
Layer1a — ZHCash Public Chain
A public decentralized network with the ZHC token. It serves as an open layer of value and liquidity, where wallets, swap services, dApps, and infrastructure projects already operate.
Layer1b — Evolution Virtual Network (EVN)
A new network based on Polygon Edge (IBFT/PoA + PoS/DPoS/IPoS overlay), focused on corporate and governmental use cases: digital financial assets, registries, RWA, industry blockchains.
Interconnection between networks is planned through:
- ZHC ↔ EVN bridges
- wrapped tokens (WZHC on EVN and WEVN on ZHCash)
- decentralized swaps and liquidity pools
- hypernodes validating both networks simultaneously
What IBFT Means
- IBFT stands for Istanbul Byzantine Fault Tolerant — a modification of PBFT used in Polygon Edge / Supernets.
- The algorithm tolerates up to
ffaulty validators out of3f + 1, meaning roughly one third can be faulty and consensus still holds. - In Polygon Edge, IBFT is the core consensus mechanism and can operate in PoA and PoS validator modes.
- It provides fast finality without forks, which is convenient for enterprise networks, app chains, sidechains, and custom EVM-compatible blockchains.
EVN Token (Evolution Virtual Network)
- Total supply: 100 billion EVN
- Premine: 33 billion EVN — development and infrastructure fund
- Rewards pool: 67 billion EVN — rewards for stakers, delegators, and hypernodes over ~30 years
- Role: gas and utility token of the Evolution Virtual Network (Layer1b)
EVN cannot be arbitrarily minted — the supply is fixed and defined at genesis and in reward contracts.
EVN Premarket
To finance the launch of Layer1b and form the validator core, the EVN Premarket has been launched:
- a smart contract on ZHCash accepts payments in the USDZ stablecoin and issues EVN;
- funds go to development, validator launch, server infrastructure, audits, and testnets;
- premarket participants receive early access to EVN and preferential conditions for running validator nodes and hypernodes.
The goal of this stage is to raise about 50–100k USDZ for a comfortable infrastructure launch.
Network Roles
- Regular users: convert ZHC → EVN, stake, delegate to validators, and use dApps.
- Evolution Network validators: run IBFT validator nodes, earn rewards and delegator commissions.
- Hypernodes: validate ZHCash and Evolution Network simultaneously, operate bridges, and receive a separate IPoS reward pool.
Current Status
- the network infrastructure based on Polygon Edge (IBFT) is ready and tested;
- staking, delegation, rewards distribution, and governance contracts are implemented;
- the EVN DeFi premarket on ZHCash is live;
- public documents (whitepaper, presentations) and open testnet/mainnet launches are being prepared.
EVOLUTION888 is developing as a technology platform rather than a short-term speculative token. The goal is to build a sustainable hypers network for public, corporate, and governmental use cases on top of the ZHChain ecosystem.
