Trove

Trove sounds reassuring in the way crypto names often try to: it suggests value held together in one place, even before any project details appear. By our assessment, that makes it a fairly generic cryptocurrency name rather than a coin with a clearly legible public purpose. The strength is obvious enough: it is easy to remember and has a word-shaped identity instead of a string of random letters. The weakness is equally plain: the name alone says nothing about whether it is for payments, a platform, or a narrower financial use. In practice, that leaves the user dependent on outside explanation, which is a poor fit for anyone who wants a token to make sense at a glance. Against better-defined crypto projects, Trove is all suggestion and very little disclosure.
