# XDC Network, Enterprise-Grade Hybrid Blockchain

## XDC Network RPC plans and rate limits

- **Free plan:** 20 responses per second, up to 100,000 responses a day.
- **Plans:** $49/mo, $299/mo, $999/mo with 25M, 150M, and 500M included responses. Overages billed at $5/$3/$2 per million responses respectively.
- **Paid rate limits:** 100 to 5,000 responses per second (bursts from 500 to 10,000), no daily limit.
- **Billing:** 1 response = 1 API credit on every shared plan, over HTTPS or WebSocket (WSS) where XDC Network supports it.

## Why Build on XDC Network

- **Enterprise ready:** Optimized for trade finance, tokenized real-world assets, and enterprise-grade integrations
- **Hybrid architecture:** Public network with optional private state channels for sensitive data
- **Ethereum-compatible tooling:** Seamless migration for Solidity smart contracts and EVM tooling
- **ISO 20022 alignment:** Built with financial messaging standards and compliance workflows in mind
- **Efficient consensus:** XinFin Delegated Proof of Stake (XDPoS) delivers \~2 second block times and low fees

## Quick Start

### Connect Endpoints

## Network Information

| Parameter          | Value              | Details |
| ------------------ | ------------------ | ------- |
| Mainnet Chain ID   | 50 (0x32)          |         |
| Testnet Chain ID   | 51 (0x33), Apothem |         |
| Native Token       | XDC                |         |
| Average Block Time | \~2 seconds        |         |

## Installation & Setup

Ethers.js v6
Web3.js
Viem
web3.py

```javascript
import { JsonRpcProvider } from 'ethers';

// Connect to XDC Network mainnet
const provider = new JsonRpcProvider('https://api-xdc-mainnet.n.dwellir.com/YOUR_API_KEY');

// Verify connection
const { chainId } = await provider.getNetwork();
console.log('Connected to XDC Network:', chainId === 50n);

// Fetch latest block
const block = await provider.getBlock('latest');
console.log('Latest block:', block.number);
```

```javascript
import Web3 from 'web3';

const web3 = new Web3('https://api-xdc-mainnet.n.dwellir.com/YOUR_API_KEY');

const chainId = await web3.eth.getChainId();
console.log('Connected to XDC Network:', chainId === 50);

const gasPrice = await web3.eth.getGasPrice();
console.log('Current gas price (XDC):', gasPrice);
```

```typescript
import { createPublicClient, defineChain, http } from 'viem';

const xdc = defineChain({
  id: 50,
  name: 'XDC Network',
  nativeCurrency: { name: 'XDC', symbol: 'XDC', decimals: 18 },
  rpcUrls: {
    default: { http: ['https://api-xdc-mainnet.n.dwellir.com/YOUR_API_KEY'] }
  }
});

const client = createPublicClient({ chain: xdc, transport: http() });

const blockNumber = await client.getBlockNumber();
console.log('Latest block:', blockNumber);
```

```python
from web3 import Web3

w3 = Web3(Web3.HTTPProvider('https://api-xdc-mainnet.n.dwellir.com/YOUR_API_KEY'))

if w3.is_connected():
    chain_id = w3.eth.chain_id
    print(f'Connected to XDC Network (chain ID: {chain_id})')

balance = w3.eth.get_balance('0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000')
print('Foundation balance (wei):', balance)
```

### Consensus & Validator Model

| Parameter     | Value     | Details                   |
| ------------- | --------- | ------------------------- |
| Consensus     | XDPoS 2.0 | Delegated Proof of Stake  |
| Finality      | \~2s      | Fast settlement           |
| Validator Set | 108       | Masternodes and delegates |

## Core Features

- **Hybrid privacy:** Permissionless public ledger with optional private side-channels for data confidentiality
- **Low cost transactions:** Typical fees under $0.0002 per transfer, enabling micro-settlement use cases
- **Asset tokenization:** Native support for security tokens, invoice financing, and RWA issuance
- **Interoperability:** Bridges to Ethereum, Polygon, BNB Chain, and Corda-based networks
- **Regulatory readiness:** Compliance-first tooling, identity layers, and notarization workflows

## API Reference

Detailed method guides for XDC Network are coming soon. Standard Ethereum JSON-RPC calls (`eth_blockNumber`, `eth_getBalance`, `eth_sendRawTransaction`, etc.) are fully supported today.
