Menlo, Inc.

Open-source framework enabling decentralized app development

Overview

Menlo One provides tools to build decentralized apps. The main product is Menlo Framework, an open-source toolset with a React front-end, a Node.js back-end, and Content Nodes that cache blockchain data to speed delivery and indexing, making dApps feel like centralized apps. It works with Ethereum and IPFS and demonstrates with Block Overflow, a Q&A dApp using ONE token for actions like posting and rewards. The company offers enterprise solutions and managed Content Node services, aiming to lower technical barriers for developers and users to participate in the token economy.
