엑스디씨 네트워크 (XDC) 토크노믹스

The XDC Network (formerly XinFin Network) is an enterprise-grade, EVM-compatible hybrid blockchain designed for global trade and finance. Its token economics are structured to support a sustainable ecosystem through a delegated proof-of-stake (XDPoS) consensus mechanism, enterprise-focused utility, and a strategic allocation of its native token, XDC.

Issuance Mechanism

The XDC Network utilizes a Delegated Proof-of-Stake (XDPoS) consensus mechanism. While the network is energy-efficient, it incorporates a small Proof-of-Work (PoW) requirement for validators when proposing new blocks to resist spamming.

Key features of the issuance and consensus include:

• Block Time: The network achieves a fast transaction "block" time of approximately 2 seconds.
• Scalability: It is capable of handling over 2,000 transactions per second (TPS).
• Security: All validating nodes must be KYC compliant, and the network utilizes a Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT) protocol (Chained Hotstuff) for consensus.
• XDC 2.0 Upgrades: The network introduced a BFT committee of masternodes selected at the beginning of each epoch to identify and penalize malicious actors through cryptographically provable forensic evidence and improved slashing conditions.

Allocation Mechanism

The total supply of XDC tokens was distributed across several categories to ensure long-term network maintenance, ecosystem growth, and team incentivization.

Usage and Incentive Mechanism

The XDC token serves as the primary utility token within the XinFin Hybrid Blockchain ecosystem, facilitating settlement and network operations.

Primary Token Utilities

• Transaction Fees (Gas): XDC is used to pay for network gas fees. These fees are extremely low, typically costing $0.00001 or less per transaction.
• Staking: Token holders can stake XDC to participate in the XDPoS consensus. Validators and delegators are rewarded with XDC tokens for securing the network and executing smart contracts.
• Settlement: XDC serves as a settlement vehicle for decentralized applications (DApps) and is used in the R3 Corda - XDC Network Bridge to enable instant settlement between the Corda ecosystem and public blockchain networks.
• Governance: Token holders can participate in network governance, contributing to decisions regarding protocol upgrades and voting mechanisms.

Incentive Programs

• PrimeFi Incentive Program: A recent initiative offers a 7% APY on XDC staking via PrimeStaking. Users can also earn an additional 2.5–4% APY in PRFI tokens by supplying psXDC (staked XDC) as collateral on the PrimeFi lending platform. This program is active until December 31, 2025, and is capped at the first 100 million XDC in deposits.
• Ecosystem Bounties: A portion of the ecosystem development fund is dedicated to bounty programs to encourage developers and community members to build on the network.

Locking Mechanism and Unlocking Time

The XDC Network employs various locking and vesting structures to manage supply and ensure stakeholder commitment.

• Masternode Staking: To participate as a validator, nodes must stake XDC tokens. These tokens are subject to the network's consensus rules and slashing conditions.
• Vesting for Founders and Team: The 40% allocation for founders and the core team is typically subject to lockup agreements to prevent market flooding and ensure long-term alignment with the project's success.
• R3 Corda Bridge: The bridge technology allows for conditional payments and escrow functionality, where XDC can be locked and subsequently unlocked when specific conditions are met.
• WanBridge Interoperability: Digital assets from other chains (like BTC, ETH, or XRP) can be moved to the XDC Network as wrapped tokens through a lock-and-mint mechanism, where the original asset is locked on its native chain to mint a representative token on XDC.

Specific, granular data regarding the exact monthly unlock schedule for the remaining locked XDC supply was not available in the provided records.
