Onyx DAO is introducing sXCN, a liquid staking token for the Onyx ecosystem. The proposal aims to enhance the current XCN staking experience by: - Eliminating manual reward claims through automatic yield accrual - Enabling users to trade or use staked assets in DeFi while earning rewards - Offering faster withdrawals than comparable solutions like stETH (1 block vs 37 days) The system is inspired by Lido's stETH but includes novel features for improved efficiency. sXCN will integrate with Onyx Goaliath for protocol security and validator staking. Community members are invited to participate in discussions as the proposal develops.

Onyx has announced the Goliath Project, a new Layer 1 blockchain network targeting banks and financial institutions. Key features include: - Aims to match or exceed Visa's 24,000 TPS - Uses Proof-of-Stake for energy efficiency - Complements existing XCN Ledger Layer 3 Development Timeline: - Q2 2025: Whitepaper release - Q3 2025: Testnet launch - Q1 2026: Mainnet launch - Q2 2026: Bank Connectivity Mesh Network The project includes a points program with 10x multiplier for early liquidity providers.
