ODIN aims to improve the world through a network of open source cooperatively built mobile applications with a focus on privacy and decentralization.

Data Updates

As of Tuesday, September 24, 2019, 12:15 pm PST — [Time of writing.]

Masternodes Online → 673
Current Block Height → 521116
Next Superblock → 561600
Total Budget → 108,000 Ø (ODIN Coin)
Allocated → 108,000 Ø (100%)

100% of October’s Superblock fund has been allocated. This does not mean you cannot put forth a proposal. Quite the contrary in fact, as the budget is allocated; this creates competition amongst projects vying for the ODIN in exchange for their development.

If your idea is found to be more appealing than current developmental proposals and in turn receives more votes than existing proposals you can supersede theirs, resulting in your project being funded in place of theirs.

Overall, this is great for the ODIN ecosphere as more and more developmental efforts are being put forth, causing a naturally competitive environment that you, the participant in the space, will benefit from.

Here’s an excerpt from that article:

Kik climbed to prominence alongside other well-known messenger apps like WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, and Telegram with its distinguishing feature of being privacy-centric — amassing fans and critiques along the way.

New Developmental Proposal, FORGE Passes Proposal Voting and is Fully Funded

The following is an excerpt from the ODIN Masternode Proposal put forth by Mr. Blister on behalf of ODIN Contributor Catamorpheus.

“FORGE is a protocol developed by discord user Catamorpheus, utilizing op_return opcode to encode commands into ODIN blockchain transactions. The end result is a daemon, forged, that you can download and run alongside odind (the odin daemon). This initial version of FORGE extends the capabilities of the ODIN blockchain to enable the following features:

- Decentralized DNS
- ODIN address DNS service
- Unique tokens
- Hash sums in blockchain
- Utility tokens
- Identity system
- Collectible Tokens.”
