Onyx
Onyx is the first application built on the Mainframe network. Onyx is a fully decentralized workplace messaging tool.
Onyx was an outgrowth of our own frustrations with existing messaging tools. We want messaging that’s bulletproof to outside threats, but also has the smooth interface and experience of Slack. We built Onyx on Mainframe to upgrade from the downtime, security vulnerabilities, or centralized architecture of traditional messengers. It runs on the censorship-resistant and surveillance-resistant Mainframe network. All major platforms are supported (even mobile).
In November 2017, we proudly presented Onyx at Devcon3 - the premier developer conference of the Ethereum Foundation. While the reception was overwhelmingly positive, we know this is just a glimpse of what’s possible.
Onyx is just the first application built on the Mainframe network, but there are countless other use-cases and applications:Internal communications for companies dealing with sensitive information and high liability, as in sectors like health care, finance, and government.Anonymized data gathering for research in academia and polling.IoT applications where information leakage might otherwise be difficult to prevent.Bot communication, relaying information to end users from various sources.
