About Onyx Protocol

Onyx Protocol (formerly Chain) is a decentralized lending protocol that aims to bring institutional-grade borrowing and lending to DeFi, including the novel feature of undercollateralized loans for creditworthy institutions. The protocol allows verified institutions to borrow without posting full collateral by establishing on-chain credit histories and reputation. XCN is the governance token allowing holders to vote on new credit lines, lending parameters, and protocol governance. Onyx emerged from the ashes of Chain.com's original blockchain network.
