Onyx Launches Goliath Mainnet with Liquid Staking and Cross-Chain Bridge
Onyx Launches Goliath Mainnet with Liquid Staking and Cross-Chain Bridge
🚀 Goliath Goes Live
Onyx has launched Goliath, transitioning from testnet to a production-ready network. The release integrates several key features directly into the Onyx App at app.onyx.org:
Key Features Now Live:
- Liquid staking for XCN with automatic reward accrual
- Native bridge enabling XCN transfers between Ethereum (ERC-20) and Goliath
- Token swapping for XCN, ETH, and USDC on Goliath network
Goliath uses asynchronous Byzantine Fault Tolerance (aBFT) consensus, providing high throughput and deterministic finality. The network targets real-world applications including cross-border payments, decentralized governance, and supply chain verification.
The platform complements the existing Ethereum-based XCN token, which remains the default alongside Goliath. Documentation is available at goliath.net.
Onyx Goliath Testnet Launches Liquid Staking and Opens External Validator Onboarding
The Onyx Goliath Testnet has released major updates across its infrastructure, introducing **liquid staking** functionality and opening **external validator onboarding** for the first time. **Key Updates:** - **Liquid Staking Live**: Users can now stake XCN with a 25.02% net APY through the stXCN token at [slingshot.goliath.net/#/yield](https://slingshot.goliath.net/#/yield). Rewards accrue automatically without requiring claim transactions. - **Ethereum Sepolia Integration**: Users can stake on Ethereum Sepolia and migrate to Goliath through an automated flow. XCN is now bridgeable between Sepolia (ERC20) and Goliath (native token). - **Enhanced Telegram Faucet**: The bot now supports expanded asset distribution including Sepolia XCN minting and staking via simple commands at [t.me/GoliathFaucetBot](https://t.me/GoliathFaucetBot). - **Validator Decentralization**: The network added its 6th consensus node—the first running on separate infrastructure. External validators can now join incrementally as the network scales. These updates expand Goliath's cross-network interoperability and staking capabilities ahead of mainnet launch. Users experiencing issues can report them in the official [Telegram group](https://t.me/Onyx).
Onyx Launches Goliath Public Testnet with Cross-Chain Bridge and DEX
**Onyx has launched the Goliath public testnet**, a next-generation consensus infrastructure built on asynchronous Byzantine Fault Tolerance (aBFT). The testnet is now live at [goliath.net](https://goliath.net). **Key Features Available:** - **Cross-chain bridge** between Ethereum Sepolia and Goliath testnet at [slingshot.goliath.net/#/bridge](https://slingshot.goliath.net/#/bridge) - **Slingshot DEX** for token swaps between USDC, WXCN, and XCN - **Test token faucet** via [Telegram bot](https://t.me/GoliathFaucetBot) providing XCN, USDC, ETH, and BTC **Target Applications:** - Instant cross-border payments - Decentralized governance and voting - Healthcare audit trails - Supply chain traceability Goliath integrates with existing Onyx products including Onyx Wallet, App, AI, and Ledger to create comprehensive digital infrastructure. **Developer Access:** Participants get exclusive access to closed-source repositories. Those interested in validator or testing programs can email goliath@onyx.org. The testnet serves as a proving ground before mainnet launch, allowing community validation and feedback collection.
