The reason for the name change is technical, which might be a bit surprising. Let us explain.
We had built a new Bitcoin protocol implementation called 'Iguana Core' which is the other thing powering Agama apart from Komodo. Because these two things had very similar names it caused some problems, and we had to rename Iguana.
This name change also allows us to better talk about Iguana Core without confusing our audience. It is indeed a big piece of our innovation, and what jl777 has been building since 2015. It is the thing that powers our atomic cross-chain swap protocol.
When you launch Agama you will also launch two other processes: Iguana daemon and Komodod daemon.
The name change was easy to make, as we had not even branded Iguana yet and there had not been any marketing. Our only users are you - the investors.
We will be branding Agama in the future.
Yes, it is a lizard
P.S. we will soon update our supernet homepage with more content and Iguana will be renamed to Agama.
