That’s important info related to [marketing and naming conventions.](https://forum2.zenon.org/t/extension-chain-l2/1645/3?u=stark) - this also matters in material fashion, of course. I’m also wondering if there is something on the Zenon roadmap represented by the term drive chain, and what that is. ---

We shouldnt use the term. Bitcoiners dont like it. Same as sidechains apparently. They associate changing Bitcoin’s main chain with it
