Onyx is a modular Layer 1 blockchain built for financial-grade applications, including banking, securities, payments, and cross-border use cases, powered by the native XCN token. Onyx's Twitter Score is 12 out of 1000 as of August 2026, ranking #79,297 among 483,944 tracked accounts.
Onyx launched the Goliath mainnet and integrated it into the Onyx App alongside native Ethereum ERC-20 XCN support. XCN serves multiple functions across the network, covering transaction fees, smart-contract execution, staking, network security, value transfer, and governance through the Onyx DAO. The protocol describes itself as designed for real-world institutional use, targeting financial institutions and payment infrastructure.
Onyx's earlier lending protocol experienced two separate security incidents. In November 2023, an exchange-rate manipulation exploit caused a stated loss of $2.1 million; CertiK noted that the relevant vulnerability had been identified in a prior audit but had not been remediated. A second exploit followed in September 2024, with Halborn reporting a stated loss of $3.8 million tied to a known Compound v2 issue and a flaw in the NFTLiquidation contract. Following that incident, a post-mortem from Onyx outlined a DAO vote on shutting down the Ethereum-based lending market, reimbursing affected users at a 1:1 ratio, and relaunching Onyx Core as the primary product.
