Onyx is an EVM-compatible Layer 1 network. Applications use familiar Ethereum addresses, Solidity contracts, signed EVM transactions, and JSON-RPC methods, while the underlying ledger reaches aBFT consensus.

The public data path is:

consensus validators
  -> signed record streams
  -> regional mirror services
  -> REST/gRPC data services and EVM JSON-RPC relays
  -> wallets, explorers, applications, and indexers

This is not a rollup or Layer 3. Onyx does not depend on another chain for transaction ordering or settlement.
