Our Mainnet is Live!
We’re excited to announce that the Marconi Mainnet is live. This marks the culmination of two years of development. Here’s a quick overview of the Mainnet along with a few other updates.
With the Marconi Mainnet, network administrators can easily deploy and secure their networks, and developers can build their own compelling networking solutions and security applications. Marconi’s Mainnet comes with many documented applications that work out of the box, including:
- multi-cloud deployments that enable network administrators to leverage unique features, regions and pricing of different cloud providers
- firewalls for securing traffic on a blockchain network from suspicious activity
- secure gateways to preserve the anonymity of online activity whether that’s crypto transactions and staking or even just basic internet browsing
Get Started With Mainnet
We’ve compiled a few helpful guides for getting started with Marconi:
- Setup Instructions
- Architecture Overview
- Quick Start Guide for Network Admins
- Quick Start Guide for Developers

Technical Advisory Board
To help further the vision of the Marconi Protocol, we recently announced that preeminent cryptographer and co-inventor of public key encryption, Dr. Whitfield Diffie, has joined our technical advisory board. Diffie is a 2015 Turing Award Winner and previously served as Chief Security Officer at Sun Microsystems. “It is encouraging that Marconi is working to add a new layer of security and privacy to the blockchain and Internet ecosystem in their mission,” said Diffie.
