The enterprise-grade XDC Network is compatible with ISO 20022 financial messaging standards and can power a wide range of novel blockchain use cases. Equipped with both public and private states, the XDC Network was designed to meet the needs of enterprises with concerns about information transparency and data privacy. The delegated proof-of-stake mechanism (XDPoS) by which the network reaches consensus allows for two-second transaction time, near zero gas fees and over 2,000 transactions per second prior to sharding. Military-grade security through 2/3 node validation requirements means there is no incentive for bad actors to try and gain access. User-friendly, customizable block explorer and network statistics pages offer unprecedented transparency where required.
