Onyxcoin (XCN) originates from Chain.com, founded by Adam Ludwin in 2014 with backing from Nasdaq and Citigroup. In March 2022, Chain rebranded its token from CHN to XCN, with CHN holders receiving XCN at a 1:1,000 ratio. Onyx is a public network and decentralized governance framework architected to meet the technical, regulatory, and operational requirements of mainstream market adoption, governed by the Onyx DAO consisting of XCN holders on the Ethereum ERC-20 blockchain. Development and strategic decisions are increasingly guided by XCN token holders through the project's on-chain governance model.
