What is the XDC Network?

4.7

The XDC Network (XDC) is an enterprise-ready, open-source, hybrid blockchain protocol specializing in tokenization for real-world decentralized finance. The company behind the technology, XinFin Fintech, created the XDC Network in 2017. The network is currently governed by the XDC Foundation, a non-profit entity incorporated to support the growth, development, and adoption of the XDC Network through community-driven efforts.

The XDC Network is designed to support a wide range of novel blockchain use cases by offering interoperable smart contracts, near-zero-fee transactions, and high security. XDC Network supports all EVM-compatible smart contracts, protocols, and atomic cross-chain token transfers. It also fully complies with the ISO-20022 message standard and its applications in trade finance and other payment sectors.

This innovation has resulted in the world’s first NFT (as a single XRC20 token) backed by trade finance assets being deployed on XDC Network in September 2021. The NFT was created by Tradeteq, a member of the World Economic Forum: Global Innovators Community, alongside Accelerated Payments, an invoice financing company, as the asset originator. Despite being a token, the asset is still compatible with trade finance industry messaging standards and demonstrates how trade finance assets could be made available through blockchain-based systems to those interested in this lower-risk investment sector.

XDC Network’s capabilities in enterprise applications, and specifically trade finance, garnered the attention of the broader global trade industry. In 2021, TFD Initiative, DNI Initiative, and the International Trade & Forfaiting Association selected XDC Network as their first blockchain member.

For developers looking to set up their projects on the XDC Network, it offers a no-code token creation app, known as Origin, as well as software development kits to assist developers in building on XDC Network. Being an EVM-compatible network, developers on other networks can seamlessly create or port over their EVM projects. Ordinary users can learn XDC concepts in the complimentary XDC Basics of Blockchain Workshops, consisting of 2 parts; Part 1 — Fundamental Concepts and Part 2 — Advanced Concepts. Conversations on XDC’s development are actively held on XDC.dev, a community for blockchain developers. It acts as one of the resource centers for blockchain engineers, including a knowledge base, tools, and support.

While the current XDC Network runs on a Distributed Proof-of-Stake (DPoS) consensus algorithm, a novel consensus engine developed exclusively for XDC, XDPoS 2.0, has been released in testnet. This upgrade, which is entirely backward-compatible in terms of APIs and is based on the latest Byzantine Fault Tolerance consensus mechanisms, maintains the security and performance of the XDC Network, while minimizing the amount of resources required to operate. Additionally,  the new consensus layer will serve as the foundation for the next phase of XDC Network’s future development. 

As of 1st June 2022, XDC Network celebrated three years of achievements since the launch of its mainnet back in 2019. The network has seen upwards of 372M transactions and the creation of over 865,576 accounts, with more than 12,400 smart contracts deployed on the network. Currently, the native XDC token has a market cap of $500M and a fully diluted valuation (FDV) of $1.54B. The circulating supply of XDC is ~13.81 B out of a total of 37.81B tokens. You can check out the list of exchanges to trade XDC on CoinGecko

The XDC community continues to expand and develop projects centered on NFTs, the metaverse, financial enterprise applications, and DeFi — all on XDC. The XDC token is listed on over 40 exchanges, including several top exchanges such as Kucoin and Huobi, with more than 20 wallets supporting native XDC and XRC20 tokens, including custodial wallets such as Fireblocks, Propine, Copper, and Bitpanda. With easy-to-use tools such as Origin for token creation, XinFin Remix. The welcoming environment for new projects on the XDC Network has contributed to the ecosystem's rapid growth. With so many assets currently available on the network, you can head over to the XDC Ecosystem category on CoinGecko to check them out.
