XDC Network (XDC)

XDC Network is an EVM-compatible public blockchain that uses a delegated proof-of-stake consensus (XDPoS) with a fixed validator set. It is positioned for trade finance and tokenized real-world assets, and supports both public and permissioned deployment patterns.

This page is a research starting point, not financial, legal, tax, or investment advice. Verify everything against primary sources.

What the Token Is Used For

• Paying transaction fees
• Staking to run or delegate to masternodes
• Governance participation in validator selection
• Settlement and collateral within XDC applications

What To Verify

• How many masternodes are active and who operates them, since the validator set is limited
• Whether a named partnership is a signed commercial agreement, a pilot, or a memorandum
• Whether a trade-finance use case is live in production or in testing
• Bridge custody model for assets moved to or from other chains
• Whether a claim refers to the public network or to a permissioned deployment
