Ether Zero (ETZ) is a cryptocurrency and smart contract platform created as a hard fork of the Ethereum blockchain. The project launched on January 19, 2018, at block 4936270, and was developed by a team of anonymous developers whose names appear only in the project’s whitepaper.[1] The platform was designed to eliminate transaction fees and implement a masternode governance system, using a dual-layer architecture that combines proof-of-stake with masternodes to achieve faster block times and zero-cost transfers.[2]
Design and History
The Ether Zero logo is an abstract symbol rendered in blue and turquoise tones. The mark is available in transparent PNG and SVG formats through various logo repositories, indicating its use across digital platforms and print applications.[3] The logo file is commonly distributed at a 500×500 pixel resolution.[4]
Ether Zero’s visual identity emerged alongside the project’s launch in early 2018. The project first became publicly known at the end of December 2017, with the hard fork occurring on January 19, 2018.[1] The logo has been distributed through cryptocurrency logo directories and icon libraries since that period, with the design remaining consistent across these platforms.[2]
The project’s official website, etherzero.org, is referenced in its documentation and cryptocurrency listings, but detailed brand guidelines have not been made publicly available.[5]
Meaning and Symbolism
The abstract symbol does not have a published explanation from the project team regarding its meaning or intended representation. [2]
The project’s name itself references its positioning as a fork of Ethereum with zero transaction fees, a distinction documented in the project’s whitepaper and promotional materials.[2] However, the visual mark’s relationship to this naming has not been formally documented by the project.
