The goal of the project is to create a reputable and a usable blockchain technology. The success is bound to the commitment of the development team and the community support. An ICO fundraising could have provided the developers with a risk-free operation fund, but will disconnect the community by making them investor-minded. DeepOnion wanted to be different by engaging with the community. Our developers are coin holders, airdrop participants and community members all at the same time.

The DeepOnion network is a decentralized hybrid platform that uses both Proof-of-Work (PoW) with x13 algorithms, and Proof-of-Stake (PoS) simultaneously to secure the network. The developers are confident that DeepOnion is secure with the current specs as the network was never hacked, and the public airdrop helped to achieve wide coin distribution to prevent PoS attacks on the network.

DeepVault is a blockchain notary service by DeepOnion. DeepVault is used to register and verify digital files, by relying on the security and the immutability of the decentralized DeepOnion blockchain. The files are not uploaded to the blockchain or to our servers. The files are analyzed locally on the device to generate a SHA-256 hash that is unique to that single file. The generated hash is then uploaded and stored on the DeepOnion blockchain along with the timestamp of registration and the address of the owner. Visit www.DeepVaultOnline.com to learn more.
