The team has spoken & the favorite name suggestions are 🥁
Team’s Favorites
Smallest Denomination
**Set _(digdug#5494) — 40 ALPH (40 * 10¹⁸ Sets)
_**Relating to the math behind Aleph, namely the Set Theory. Easy on the tongue. Phonetically close to both “Cent” and “Sat’”. The fact that one of the team members’ first name is Set has nothing to do with it!
El Setto was here 7️⃣

**Alphred _(eyettea#6915) — 0 ALPH
_**Eyettea is a team member and we are not entitled to rewards. More ALPH for the others! \o/ However, the name Alphred immediately stuck! It was an obvious match for everyone. And Batman’s butler, Mr. Pennyworth would agree! 🦇
Smart Contract Language
**Ralph _(psua#1101) — 40 ALPH
_**The initial suggestion was Rust-Alph, but now that we had Alphred in the house, this made a lot more sense than its literal transcription. Thus there was Ralph! A language to build the dApps of them all! 🦾
We were frankly impressed with the quality of the suggestions. Even the unexpected ones are quirky, witty or plain interesting.
We picked additional winners in two more categories: Funniest and Naming competition gone wrong.

We’d also like to reward two honorable mentions: Chengli (zocker#6039) and Wernick (greentin#0379) who will get 5 ALPH each. Wernick sent the older of us back to our childhood. It is the currency of Alf’s home planet, a TV-show from the 80s. Chengli touched the hearts of the Swiss team-members.
ALPH!
The awarded participants will be contacted by the team during the next round of community reward distribution which will take place by the end of February.
We’re impressed and humbled by the creativity, imagination and engagement of our community! According to you, if we were a cartoon character we’d be Betty Boop. If we were a Greek god, we’d be running on OLYMPUS. If we’d be a particle, we’d be a PLANCK, and if we’d be spiritual we’d be ELOHIMIUM.
