XDC for
Developers & Creators

While the XDC Network was purpose-built to be enterprise-ready— it is a blockchain built for everyone.

XDC Delegated Proof of Stake (XDPoS) is one of the fastest, most efficient, decentralized, and flexible consensus models in use today. XDPoS leverages the power of stakeholders to resolve consensus issues fairly and democratically, and since nominators must satisfy self-KYC requirements, XDPoS is more enterprise-ready and adaptable than other blockchains.

  • EVM-compatible, Layer 1 protocol

  • Seamless minting and deployment of Layer 2 tokens via Origin

  • The dependable and efficient XDPoS consensus protocol

The XDC Network supports digital smart contracts, which, among other things, can facilitate cross-border transactions and real-time settlement at nearly no cost to the user. The network also allows for asset digitization and tokenization.

Bridges

As an EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain, the XDC Network offers a solid foundation on which any project can build. Anything that can be built on Ethereum or other EVM Layer 1s can also be built on XDC. But what if a project needs to build on two or more different chains?

XDC Network powers
a wide range of blockchain projects

From negligible gas fees and fast transaction times to EVM-compatible and interoperable smart contracts, the XDC Network is a versatile option for developers.

The XDC Community has a wide variety of outlets to build, share, and collaborate with other developers and community members.

Developers on the XDC Network can use similar tools found on other EVM networks A wide library of resources at one’s disposal to develop makes it easy to build on and migrate applications to the XDC network.

Our real-time community support makes it easy to Migrate to or Build on the XDC Network.
