OnyxDAO Goliath.net Launch Event

OnyxDAO is gearing up for the launch of Goliath.net, its next-generation blockchain infrastructure, intended to expand the Onyx ecosystem. The event appears in the CoinMarketCal calendar as “Goliath.net” and is likely tied to testnet or mainnet deployment. It underscores the project’s push to evolve from its existing “XCN Ledger / Layer-3” identity into a standalone infrastructure with enhanced performance, governance, and compliance capabilities.

Event Details

This event is organized by OnyxDAO / Onyx and is listed for 1 October 2025 (per CoinMarketCal) under the name “Goliath.net” as a Release event. The precise format (testnet launch, mainnet, upgrade rollout) is not explicitly confirmed in the announcement. Participation likely involves developer engagement, node setup, and network testing via Onyx’s public documentation or dev channels. The Onyx Twitter/X account has teased the “goliath.net timer” leading up to the event.
