XDC Subnet Official Release
The launch of XDC2.0 on the XDC Mainnet marks a significant milestone, bringing substantial improvements to both consensus mechanisms and security protocols. Not only that, this upgrade also enables XDC-Subnet on Mainnet. With that in mind, we are pleased to announce the official release of Subnet v1, complete with a comprehensive suite of tools and ecosystem components designed to streamline development and deployment processes.

What is XDC Subnets
XDC Subnets can be understood as individual sidechains within the XinFin XDC Network ecosystem. These subnets operate independently while borrowing security of the main XDC Network through the use of Relayers and Checkpoint Smart Contracts. Each XDC Subnet can have its own tokenomics, and governance rules, making it a highly customizable and flexible solution.

Benefits of XDC Subnets
XDC Subnets offer several significant advantages in blockchain technology.
Privacy: Subnet transactions remain private, as only block header information is checkpointed to the XDC mainnet, enhancing data protection. Subnet owner has full control over who can access the Subnet.
Cost Reduction: Transactions on Subnets are practically free, your costs will only be reduced to regular checkpointing transactions to the XDC mainnet. Making it more feasible for both individuals and enterprises to participate.
Scalability: Avoid network congestion by processing transactions on separate sidechains, increasing overall transaction capacity.
Efficiency: Subnets allow for better resource allocation, with different use cases assigned to specific subnets to prevent resource contention.
Transparency & Customization: All of Subnet's codebase is open source. Everyone is free to contribute or make modifications of their own deployment. Each subnet can have unique rules and tokens, enabling tailored solutions for various applications like supply chain management or DeFi.
Interoperability: Subnets can interact with the main XDC Network through XDC-Zero, our provided cross-chain communication framework, facilitating asset transfers across the ecosystem.
Features of XDC Subnets
Rapid Deployment: Our intuitive UI configuration generator enables the setup and launch of a new subnet within 10 minutes, streamlining the deployment process.
XDC-Zero Interoperability: XDC-Zero, our advanced cross-chain system, facilitates seamless blockchain interoperability. It ensures efficient and secure data transmission between the Parentchain and Subnet, enhancing overall network connectivity.
Comprehensive Ecosystem Tools: We provide a suite of components to enhance your Subnet experience.
Subnet Explorer: For real-time blockchain data visualization and analysis
Node Management Interface: Simplifies the process of operating and maintaining network nodes
Faucet Server: Enables easy distribution of test tokens for development and testing purposes
