XinFin - public and private network access

  • Instant payment at the lowest cost by enabling stable coin and peer to peer transfer between trusted parties.
  • Hybrid blockchain with both private and public capability, both of which can be leveraged as per requirement.
  • XDC token have high liquidity and are usable across the ecosystem
  • Low transaction time and the newly launched mainnet technology has opened new avenues

XDC protocol works on the framework of hybrid blockchain technology and carries the features of private and public blockchain which doesn’t just support cryptocurrency but is currently being used across the XinFin ecosystem

Spread on a distributed network of individual private sub-networks, the XDC provides capabilities of a distributed public ledger along with transparency and the individual private sub-networks can be used for specific enterprise-level blockchain which has all amenities and security of private blockchain with master nodes holding membership stakes on the public network.

Every node carries both public and private state at the same time as each network that they are a part of, this mechanism furnishes the availability and synchronization of the data.

The XinFin network is a fork of Ethereum, therefore is fully compatible with Solidity and have also incorporated smart contracts in the protocol system.

The validity of the smart contract is approved by only master nodes.

DPOS consensus

consensus mechanism of Proof of Stake with the added PBFT layer i.e. the transactions are approved by a consortium of members who hold a stake in the network based on their wealth.

Fabric Token System Support

project Burrow is working on an improvised version of smart contracts and the Hyperledger Quilt is working on the payment end of the business transactions.

Fabric features:

  • Decentralized trust in a network of known participants using permissioned channels
  • Selective exposing of data as per the type of data and parties involved
  • Smart contracts programmable in all languages and no custom languages and architectures required
  • FabToken SDK for custom tokens with options for ZKP ( mint, transfer, burn )
  • Consensus is RAFT or PBFT
  • Explicit and Implicit private transactions
  • Can run Solidity contracts on Fabric using Burrow EVM
  • Can run an Ethereum mainnet node and a Fabric node on the same host if needed
  • Can work with many Token, Crypto APIs using SDKs

Private transactions possible on Fabric

All ledgers are updated for each transaction on a public blockchain but for hyperledger, the peers directly affiliated with the deal are connected, and only their ledgers get updated about the deal. Other third parties can only access a limited amount of information as per the permissions granted on the network


use cases for token networks include:

Quorum adds permissionless POS consensus


Quorum Control and presented by Quorum Control's Founder and CEO, Topper Bowers. 

The title of their presentation is "Topper Talks Tupelo: Introducing the Future of DLT". In the presentation, Topper will give an overview of Tupelo. Tupelo is a permissionless proof of stake DLT platform purpose-built to model individual asset ownership and provenance as the base layer (rather than token exchange). Tupelo introduces a completely unique infrastructure to better support scalable adoption outside of currency-oriented blockchain circles and deliver concrete benefits to users, from enhanced data security to more accurate and transparent record-keeping.
