Discussion for the naming of Zilliqa's Curated Art Marketplace

Curtorium, Curatorium,

Essence.io” → “Ezsence.io

Essence is the most basic & important element or aspect of something. The essence makes you think back to the origin of something (nature, life, art…), which can lead to inspiration, the inspiration needed to drive the desire to innovate, create and share.

I hope at least this inspires your imagination to come up with cool names & to build on Zilliqa. :v:

This is my recommendation, as simply put as it is, it is the point of a marketplace to set value and the quality of something… it also lends an allusion to the word praise.

Interesting - how did this name come about?

From your perspective, would it be a metaphor for digital mediums being a bright flame amid the traditional mediums which are the “dying fire”? Nice name but also want to be conscious that we’re not aiming to replace traditional creativity - but rather complement it.

where do we actually vote and when will this final vote take place?

téchnis - Greek noun for Produce. Often used in reference to artists and Art Couriers/preparators.

What happened to Aurora? I really liked that one!

Hi Everyone!

My proposal to name the new Zilliqa marketplace:

MUSE

In Greco-Roman Myth, the Muses are the protective Goddesses and patronesses of the arts.

Muse: “a personified force who is the source of inspiration for a creative artist”

Its a single syllable, easy to remember.

Intransitively it means: “to become absorbed in thought” especially: “to think about something carefully and thoroughly”

This resonates with the purposefulness and respect for the creative process and the practice of art, it’s is very fitting for a marketplace to reverberate these ideals. It’s definition is highly relevant.

“A state of deep thought or dreamy abstraction”

It should be called Zill-ism to mark a new era in art curation.

“Souq” is the arabic word for marketplace.

Add a Zilliqa twist to that and you ge “ZOUQ” the Zilliqa NFT marketplace.

The name should specify what type of platform is it. So in my opinion

ZilArt

is the most suitable name.

I like the name Rialto.
I also propose another name that I think could fit with the market as a concept:

Like Rialto up here if you like, I like it too!

Hey all! Hope you guys are enjoying your holidays :slight_smile:

So far I think the most popular suggestions seem to be the three mentioned by @ZillinkPower and Rialto/Ember by @Boozer. Personally I like Rialto and BE for the meaning behind these names. I think I also saw Lattice which was a great suggestion but there isn’t enough likes on it :frowning:

Will try and put this up on social media to see if there’s any more suggestions coming in, else I think we can proceed with a formal vote on the gov portal with the names that are most liked in this thread.

Thanks everyone for contributing. I think we can formalise this discussion into a proposal in about a week or two?

I would like to suggest the name Plateia or Platia. It comes from the greek word πλατεία that means town square.

I think this name fits well with Metapolis whose words come from the Greek too.
It will be a place for everyone who wants to join!
