XDC Network
A channel to build and connect
As a decentralized public ledger, the Layer 1 XDC Network enables information transparency and provides a distributed, universal ledger of truth - unburdened by central administrative controls or a single point of failure.
The XDC Network is equipped to keep pace with the rapid rate of blockchain adoption.

Why Choose
XDC Network
1/12
Success depends on your network
Through XDC, creators, financial innovators and developers can access an inclusive, accessible and decentralized world, benefitting from both the network technology and network of participants. This is the network of networks — where the entrepreneurial savvy can interact with new partners, reach new markets and serve new customers.
Network Security
The XDC Network consensus mechanism was upgraded in September 2024, bringing unprecedented security. XDC 2.0 requires only a three block finality. With a new block generated every two seconds, maximum security is achieved six seconds after a block is generated, raising the bar substantially for Layer 1 blockchain security.
RWA Tokenization Focus
With its speed, security, and scalability, XDC Network is an ideal blockchain for tokenizing assets of any kind. Combined with top tier ecosystem integrations and a multi-level network support system, RWA-based projects can thrive on XDC.
EVM Compatible
XDC Network is a reliable EVM-compatible and Ethereum-competitive Layer 1 blockchain supporting smart-contracts, protocols, and a comprehensive tokenized economy. It offers a base layer for enterprise blockchain applications while providing a solid foundation for blockchain innovation in all industries.
Trade Finance-focused dApps
The network features a number of trade finance-focused dApps and integrations Efforts are underway to provide scalable access to trade finance assets in a secure manner. XDC Network was the first blockchain to join the Global TFD Initiative - a consortium of major global financial institutions and leading service providers.
Subnets
Subnets allow users to build their own smaller replica of the XDC mainnet on the XDC Network, validator nodes and all. The subnet's block headers will periodically publish to the XDC Network mainnet while the block body will be validated on the subnet's decentralized private nodes. Subnets will have their own private explorers. By adding privacy functionalities, XDC is solving the age-old debate over public vs. private blockchains.
Onboarding Process
Using GitBook, developers looking to build on XDC have access to a suite of how-to articles, tools, and FAQs on the XDC Network’s dedicated community documentation page.
Long-term Vision
Blockchain is not about currency speculation and greed. It is about flow of ideas, value and assets through a trustless ledger - connecting ‘small’ businesses to the enterprise level. XDC Network is positioned to solve real world problems, from enabling SMEs to participate in Trade Finance to ensuring charitable funds get to where they’re most needed in a trustless, transparent manner.
Reliably Fast & Efficient
XDC Network is equipped with the ability to process transactions efficiently, while remaining cost effective, requiring approx. 1/100th the cost of Ethereum’s transactions.
Sustainable
It has been reported that the entire global XDC Network uses 7400 kilowatt-hours (kWh), less electricity than the average US household uses each year.
MLETR
XDC Network is integrated with Singapore's IMDA TradeTrust initiative to host electronic trade documents as per the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law’s Model Law on Electronic Transferable Records (MLETR).
XDC Payments and ISO 20022 Financial Messaging
The XDC payments ecosystem is growing and includes projects that prioritize compliance with ISO 20022 financial messaging standards. XDC Network offers near instant settlement for cross-border and regional payments and on/off ramp capabilities.

Understanding
XDC 2.0
XDC 2.0 is the next-generation consensus protocol originally built for the XDC Network. It is based on Chained HotStuff, the state-of-art BFT (Byzantine fault tolerance) consensus algorithm.
Only masternodes who have locked a significant amount of XDC tokens have the right to propose and vote for blocks. The locked tokens will be slashed if the master nodes conduct any malicious behavior, and the malicious behavior detection is guaranteed by the network’s advanced forensics detection and monitoring system.
XDC Network participants maintain top-tier relationships across industries, conducting cutting edge research and software development, so the XDC Network can be first-to-market with innovative concepts and unprecedented use cases.
Projects built on XDC
Since its origins in 2017, the XDC Network has seen a distributed community of developers, early adopters and advocates serve as champions for the adoption of XDC’s blockchain technology.
As an open source enterprise-grade blockchain, XDC Network was designed to support those using distributed ledger technology to more efficiently store and exchange data, assets, and ideas through decentralized applications and enforceable smart contracts.
XinFin Fintech's vision for an enterprise-grade blockchain network began with a solid technical foundation and a sustainable route towards decentralized participation. This vision has since inspired distributed innovation and adoption. A decentralized community with diverse contributions create major opportunities for network adoption.
XDC Foundation works to support the XDC Ecosystem, where XDC Network’s open source technology is adopted for many diverse use cases. A community driven initiative, the Foundation was formed in Q2 2021 to support the growth, development and adoption of the XDC Network by collaborating with an informed and active collective of developers, world trade experts and content creators using the network.
The Community Driving the Network
The steep adoption curve of the XDC Network is due in part to the dedication and talent of its distributed community, who possess both a profound knowledge of blockchain technology and the creativity to apply unique expertise in a variety of ways.
