01 / THE PURPOSE

What is XDC Network for?

XDC is designed to connect financial workflows and issued assets to programmable settlement. Enterprises can keep restricted records on their own subnet while anchoring selected commitments or checkpoints to the public network.

02 / THE ARCHITECTURE

Three questions about the machinery.

How does it agree?

Consensus & security

XDPoS uses a stake-based selection of masternodes that propose and confirm blocks. Its BFT design coordinates finality within that validator system; private subnet rules can differ from the public mainnet’s rules.

Where do instructions run?

Execution model

The public chain supports EVM smart contracts and familiar Solidity tooling. Enterprise subnets can have restricted participation and their own configuration, with explicit mechanisms connecting them to the public layer.

What is the token for?

XDC in the system

XDC pays public-chain transaction fees and provides stake associated with validator participation. A financial asset issued on XDC remains a separate token with its own issuer and contractual conditions.

03 / THE DESIGN CHOICES

What comes with the design?

Each architecture makes choices about security, performance, coordination, and who can participate.

The active validator system and stake requirements shape who can participate directly in producing blocks.
A checkpoint proves a commitment to subnet state; it does not automatically reveal or validate every private business record.
Tokenizing an invoice does not remove the payer’s credit risk, document accuracy questions, or dependence on off-chain enforcement.

04 / IN PRACTICE

Follow one use.

A financing application could record a transferable claim linked to an invoice. XDC can record token ownership changes, while payment collection and the authenticity of the invoice remain separate responsibilities.
