The Framework for Scaling Decentralized Applications
Menlo One is an open-source framework for making decentralized applications as fast and easy to use as their centralized predecessors. Blockchain data is cached and indexed on high performance "content nodes" which give dApps the speed users expect from the web, without compromising decentralization.
Menlo One is a second layer which uses multiple blockchains synergistically to overcome the limitations around user experience, speed, and security, which have stunted widespread adoption of dApps. It leverages a Proof-of-Reputation system which solves issues around identity and governance. With Menlo One, developers can build the Web 3.0 generation of marketplaces, social media platforms, DAOs, financial products, and other dApps that everyone has been anticipating.

Developer Tools To Easily Build Decentralized Apps
Menlo One gives developers the essential building blocks for decentralized apps. From a distributed database, to a proof of reputation algorithm, to transactions and governance, our framework gives you the tools you need without having to build them from scratch. We re-imagined the web stack for a future with no administrators, censors, or single point of failure.
Cross Chain Node
A desktop native app that runs light nodes of Ethereum, IPFS, and other networks. dApps built with Menlo One have a smooth user experience thanks to it’s automated transaction API.
Proof-of-Reputation
With no admins, the Web 3.0 needs to know who to trust. Our Proof-of-Reputation algorithm leverages Token Curated-Registry design patterns, to incentivize virtuous behavior within the ecosystem, so that only those providing value to others are compensated in tokens.
Decentralized Database
At the core Menlo One is a decentralized database, which caches data from multiple blockchains, to provide users with the speed and experience of a traditional webapp, without compromising the security guarantees of a distributed blockchain.
