The Framework for Scaling the Token Economy
Menlo One is the world's most powerful framework for building decentralized applications with the speed of a traditional web app.Our decentralized database and Proof-of-Reputation incentive system is the infrastructure that enables the Web 3.0 generation of marketplaces, social media platforms, and future apps to be as fast and performant as their centralized predecessors.

Menlo One is to blockchain what Rails is to Ruby or what Wordpress is to LAMP. By integrating several key technologies and protocols, Menlo One provides developers with a framework to build decentralized apps which compete with their centralized predecessors in terms of performance, cost to user, and ease of use. We re-imagined the web stack for an future with no administrators, censors, or single point of failure.
Cross Chain Node
A desktop native app which runs light nodes of Ethereum, IPFS, and other networks. dApps built with Menlo One have a smooth user experience from it’s automated transaction API.
Proof-of-Reputation
With no admins, the Web3 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 only those providing value to others are compensated in tokens.
Decentralized Database
At the core, is a decentralized database which caches data from multiple blockchains to provide users the speed and experience of a traditional webapp, without compromising the security guarantees of a distributed blockchain.
Architected for a Reputable Blockchain
The Menlo Token (MET) rewards users and data nodes for their attention and data availability. A Proof of Reputation algorithm sizes rewards relative to the reputation based on providing value to the community in a Token Curated Registry. By having data stored on a distributed and byzantine fault tolerant public blockchain (Ethereum or others), but cached on an array of autonomous content nodes, Menlo One can be both fast and reliable despite being decentralized. With no single point of failure, we can deliver blockchain data with the speed of a traditional web host.
Powered by a Cross-Chain Wallet
Menlo One's "smart wallet" is the first cross - chain interoperable wallet designed specifically for token sales, dAaps, and other token based web applications.It supports ERC20, and forward compatible for Stellar, EOS, and more.It can be set to send funds to a token sale the moment it starts, sign transactions without constantly alerting the user, manage locally encrypted KYC / AML information, and much more.
The communication component of the Menlo One stack. Available now as an
autonomous framework for building decentralized communication systems
that reward users for providing valuable content.
Users pay Menlo Token to upvote/downvote. Menlo Token goes into pool.
Projects pay Menlo Token to get infront of essential stakeholders.
Users collect Menlo Token for their valuable contributions.
The first use case of our framework:
Making the token sale experience
as safe & easy as shopping on Amazon.
The token economy is about to go mainstream. (Coming Soon)
We list every company offering token financing on Ethereum.
Chat with the right team on Menlo One. All chats stored on blockchain.
