Onix (ONX)

ONX price chart

Onix ranks #456 of 484 cryptocurrencies. On a list that also counts tokens, memecoins, wrapped coins, staked derivatives and stablecoins it appears at #5531: 5075 of the 5530 assets ahead of it are not native coins but tokens or claims. A token is issued on a host blockchain rather than running its own; a claim stands for an asset already counted.

CoinSpectrum Grade (Source)

Grade pending. No market cap or no daily volume is reported for Onix by any source the site reads. A grade is not given until it is, so that a coin is never rated higher for what is not yet known.

Premine (allocated at launch)	2.9	70.7% of today's supply allocated at launch to founders, a company, a foundation or investors. GetBlockValue in onix-project/onixcoin pays 100,000,000 ONX at block 1 ('pre-mine') against a schedule of 60 ONX halving every 345,600 blocks (cap ~141.47M); 100M / 141.47M = 70.7%, and higher against current supply if mining stopped early (~73% if the chain stalled around 2019). source
Fundraising (share sold) (Source)	–	Launch not yet researched
Developer share (after launch)	10	No developer share: every new coin goes to the miners or validators who produce blocks. The code pays the whole subsidy to the miner; no fund output. source

Features (3 checks)	5	1 of 2 passed, 1 not yet researched
Fast payments (Safe to accept within seconds · Whitepaper abstract, §1, §2 and §11)	–	Two codebases (Bitcoin-0.8-era onixcoin and Dash-based onixcore beta); which one the network last ran is unclear.
Pruned nodes (Old history dropped, every rule checked · Whitepaper §7)	✗	Onix v1.1.3.0 (Jul 2019): no -prune option; the node keeps the full block history.
Light clients (Payments verified from headers · Whitepaper §8)	✓	Onix v1.1.3.0 (Jul 2019): proof-of-work chain whose node serves BIP37 bloom-filtered merkleblock proofs, so an SPV client can check headers and Merkle proofs.
Privacy	7	7 of 10: whitepaper privacy 7 of 7, extra features 0 of 3, 1 not yet researched source
Protocol level privacy (Keys not tied to an identity · Whitepaper §10)	10	Onix's Bitcoin-derived node (onix-project/onixcoin) has no identity rule: anyone generates keys and receives and sends the coin.
UTXO ledger (Separate outputs, change to a new address · Whitepaper §2, §9)	10	Coins are separate unspent outputs: a payment spends whole outputs and sends the change to a new address, so the coins in one wallet need not share a history.
HD addresses (A new address for each payment, unlinked · Whitepaper §10)	–
Hidden amounts (Amounts confidential)	0	Onix v1.1.3.0 (Jul 2019): Bitcoin-style transparent outputs; no confidential amounts.
Hidden parties (Sender and receiver hidden)	0	Onix v1.1.3.0 (Jul 2019): Bitcoin-style transparent addresses; no ring signatures, zero-knowledge spends or stealth addresses.
Network privacy (Origin hidden by default)	0	Onix v1.1.3.0 (Jul 2019): no Dandelion relay in the node; Tor is only an optional proxy setting (-tor/-onion) the user must configure.
Programmability	1.1	1 of 9 points source
Token issuance	0	No token issuance on the chain itself
Smart contracts (Scripting for spending conditions)	1	Onix v1.1.3.0 (Jul 2019): Bitcoin-style Script (signatures, hashes, CHECKMULTISIG) limited to spending conditions; no contract platform.
Multisig and time locks (Without a third party)	✗	Onix v1.1.3.0 (Jul 2019): CHECKMULTISIG is present, but the script interpreter has no OP_CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY or OP_CHECKSEQUENCEVERIFY (the code base predates BIP65/BIP112), so no output can be time-locked.
Atomic swaps (With other chains)	✗	Onix v1.1.3.0 (Jul 2019): without a lock-time opcode Script cannot express the refund branch of an HTLC, and no adaptor-signature swap exists for the coin.
Native DEX (Trades the coin itself, not a claim)	✗	No DEX found trading the coin itself: none on its own chain (DefiLlama), and not on THORChain, Maya, Chainflip, Komodo DeFi, BasicSwap, Bisq or Haveno (checked 2026-11-04).
Cross-chain messaging (Verified by the chain itself)	✗	Onix v1.1.3.0 (Jul 2019): no cross-chain message or light-client verification in the protocol.
NFTs (Carried by the chain's rules)	✗	Onix v1.1.3.0 (Jul 2019): no token or NFT type in the consensus rules.
Demand	0.5	average of 2 measures
Exchanges (10 or more: 10)	0	no exchange the site reads trades it
Daily volume ($10K 0, $1B or more 10)	–	no volume reported
Turnover (volume ÷ market cap, 5% a day: 10)	–	not measured

Record	6.3	average of 3 criteria
Age (years since genesis) (Source)	9	9 full years since 2017-06-25, the first day with a recorded price (genesis not yet researched, so the age can only be understated).

Unfixed vulnerability, disclosed 2024-07-03, −1	✗	CVE-2020-14198: misbehaving peers are auto-banned into a ban list that is never pruned, so many attacker addresses can exhaust memory; still in Onix 1.1.3.0. bitcoincore.org github.com

Ten sections, weighted equally, each 0 to 10: consensus (the two ladders), supply (the supply scale and a fixed cap that holds), distribution (premine, fundraising, developer share, holders), decentralisation (governance, no central team, who can mint, nodes), security, scalability, privacy, programmability (what the scripting layer can do beyond the whitepaper's payment system), demand, and record (age, development, conduct). They are built from the criteria in the second table: privacy, scalability, security and decentralisation are the Cryptocurrency Standards among them, as follows: privacy (the whitepaper's three checks a base of 7 of 10, three extra features up to 3 more), scalability (four measures and three features), security (pool diversity, network activity, hashrate, clients and two checks) and decentralisation (governance, no central team, who can mint, nodes, holders, premine, fundraising and developer share); programmability (token issuance, smart contracts and five checks) follows them, and supply and demand are two: the supply, scored against 21 million, and demand, the average of seven measures of the market and the wallets. Provisional: parts marked — are not yet measured and are left out of the average. A rating of structure and market depth, not a price forecast or investment advice.

0 of a maximum 141,472,000 ONX are in circulation — 0.0% of the total that will ever exist.

Launch and allocation

Premine (allocated at launch)	70.7% of today's supply
Developer share received since launch	0% of today's supply
Developer share of new coins today	0%

GetBlockValue in onix-project/onixcoin pays 100,000,000 ONX at block 1 ('pre-mine') against a schedule of 60 ONX halving every 345,600 blocks (cap ~141.47M); 100M / 141.47M = 70.7%, and higher against current supply if mining stopped early (~73% if the chain stalled around 2019).

No ICO record found; premine purpose unknown.

Use of the 100M premine is not documented.

The code pays the whole subsidy to the miner; no fund output.

70.7% of the cap was premined in block 1. The project appears defunct.

The work behind it

No source we can reach publishes a hashrate for Onix.

What a regulator has said

No SEC/CFTC determination — unclassified.

The regulator's position, reported as stated, not CoinSpectrum's. Assets nobody has ruled on are left unclassified rather than sorted by a guess.

How CoinSpectrum ranks Onix

Onix is #456 among cryptocurrencies and #5531 in the market ranking, which lists wrapped coins, staked derivatives, stablecoins and tokens alongside them. CoinSpectrum counts an asset once, and counts only cryptocurrencies: assets with their own blockchain and their own consensus. A wrapped coin, a staked derivative or a stablecoin is a claim on something already counted; a token, memecoin or otherwise, runs on another chain's blocks. All of them are listed, each in its own section, and none is added to the total. The 5075 places between Onix's two ranks are held by claims and tokens, not by other networks. The methodology sets out the rule and the counting rule argues for it.

The price above is the median of the exchanges the site reads live, checked every minute and cross-checked against a market snapshot (how market data is gathered). The grade is scored on published criteria, each with its source (the method). The site is independent, nothing on it is a paid placement, and its statements are signed (about CoinSpectrum, the manifesto).
