XDC Network at a glance.
XDC Network, developed by XinFin, brought its mainnet live in 2019 with a focus on international trade and finance. It runs Ethereum-style smart contracts while using a delegated validator set for fast confirmation. Here is how it works and what it is used for, not the price.

How XDC Network works.
XDC uses a delegated proof-of-stake design built around a set of masternodes, with 108 nodes responsible for proposing and validating blocks. Validators are selected and backed through staking, and the protocol applies Byzantine fault tolerant rules to reach finality. This produces roughly two-second blocks and keeps energy use low compared with proof-of-work chains.

Masternodes
A set of 108 masternodes produces and validates blocks. Operators stake XDC to take part and earn rewards for keeping the network running.
EVM compatibility
XDC runs the Ethereum Virtual Machine, so Solidity contracts and standard Ethereum tools work on the network without rewriting.
Trade finance focus
XinFin aimed the network at digitizing trade documents and tokenizing real-world assets, which shapes much of its enterprise tooling.
Fee burning
A portion of transaction fees from smart contract activity is burned, which removes those units from the supply over time.
What XDC Network is used for.
The XDC ecosystem centers on trade finance, real-world asset tokenization, and EVM-based applications ported from Ethereum.
Trade finance
XDC was designed to digitize documents such as invoices and letters of credit, the area XinFin targets most directly.
Real-world asset tokenization
The network supports issuing tokens that represent off-chain assets, a recurring use among its enterprise projects.
EVM applications
Because it runs the Ethereum Virtual Machine, developers can deploy existing Solidity contracts and DeFi tools on XDC.
Hold, swap and spend XDC.
XDC Network is integrated in Zypto App. Hold XDC in self-custody, swap it to any supported asset, and use it across Zypto’s features.
