Welcome to Onyx
Onyx is a protocol that enables businesses to tokenize their equity. Our mission is to create a more liquid and efficient marketplace for business ownership, leveraging tokens to build a financial system that better serves businesses around the world.
I'm a business. Why tokenize?
Traditional equity is often tangled in legal jargon, paper contracts, or even informal handshake agreements. Onyx streamlines this by allowing you to issue a digital token that represents ownership in your business and distribute it directly to stakeholders.
With tokenized equity, a range of new tools become available:
- Launch your token via Onyx
- Manage your vesting with Magna
- Swap OTC on Airswap
- Sell directly on the market on Uniswap or Raydium
- Draw a credit line with Stormbit
Issuing a token on Onyx takes just two minutes. Onyx handles the entire on-chain setup for you: from creating your business treasury in a multisig [?] to minting your full token supply directly into it. You retain full control over your equity from day one.
To jumpstart your liquidity, Onyx also helps you establish an ongoing valuation. This one-time event establishes your token's initial seeding and sets the foundation for liquidity immediately. The process is simple and streamlined, letting you focus on what matters most: building and growing your business.
I'm an investor. Why Onyx?
Too often, investors have been left holding the bag after:
- Founders raised funds for an idea and vanished to a nice beach in the Bahamas
- Tokens were decoupled from real business value, offering no rights to profits, governance, or accountability
Onyx changes that. We fuse business equity and token ownership into a single, tradable asset - directly tied to the business treasury via smart contract enforced governance and profit distribution mechanisms.
Tokens issued under the Onyx Standard offer a stronger, more aligned form of ownership than typical utility tokens. They’re backed by real accountability, real businesses, and real transparency. Businesses launched through Onyx commit to greater visibility into operations, financial health, and governance so that investors can make informed, confident decisions.
