Xphere at a glance.
Xphere is a public, Ethereum compatible Layer 1 blockchain that splits work across two chains: a proof of work proof chain that anchors security and an XPBFT proof of stake main chain that validates transactions quickly. The network had its genesis in 2024 and rolled out a 2.0 mainnet upgrade in 2025, with XP as the native token. Here is how it works and what it is used for, not the price.

How Xphere works.
Xphere runs two coordinated chains. A proof of work proof chain lets participants mine to provide a base layer of security, while a main chain uses XPBFT, a practical Byzantine fault tolerance form of proof of stake, to order and finalize transactions quickly. Splitting these roles is intended to keep the security of mining while letting the main chain confirm transactions faster than a single proof of work chain would.

Dual chain design
A proof of work proof chain anchors security and a separate XPBFT proof of stake main chain handles fast transaction validation, with the two chains working together.
XPBFT consensus
The main chain uses XPBFT, a practical Byzantine fault tolerance based proof of stake protocol, to order and finalize transactions quickly.
EVM compatibility
Xphere runs the Ethereum Virtual Machine, so Solidity contracts and standard Ethereum tooling and wallets work with few changes.
XP token and mining
XP is the native token, with a supply of about 5.5 billion released through mining over a long schedule. XP pays transaction fees and is used to deploy and run smart contracts.
What Xphere is used for.
Xphere is used as a base layer for EVM applications that want mining based security alongside a faster proof of stake main chain.
EVM applications
Developers deploy Solidity contracts and run decentralized applications using familiar Ethereum tooling on an EVM compatible chain.
Mining the proof chain
Participants can mine the proof of work proof chain to take part in securing the network and earn XP rewards.
Fees and contracts
XP is the native token used to pay transaction fees and to create and execute smart contracts.
