Try It Out

You can try it out here.

Official Website

Xenon now has its own official website, which is available (for now) via GitHub Pages.

Not Working?

Browser support for Blockstack is still in alpha at the moment, so you may find that the app remains on the landing page or doesn't log you in successfully.

To ensure a successful experience, make sure you are either:

using the latest version of Chrome or Firefox

have installed the Blockstack browser, which allows you to use the app without browser support issues.

Alternative Browsers Please ensure you're using Chrome, as Blockstack support for Firefox is patchy at the moment (works with an unofficial Blockstack Firefox extension), and non-existent for >IE.

Issues or Bugs

This is still in alpha, so bugs or issues may arise. If so, please submit an issue. <3 Thanks!
