The conversations don’t stop when the event ends. From valuable conversations to new connections and future collaboration opportunities, ENI continues to expand its global ecosystem and advance enterprise-ready blockchain adoption. Every interaction at WebX brings us one step closer to building the next generation of Web3 infrastructure. 📖 Read the full story: #ENI# #WebX2026# #EnterpriseBlockchain# #Web3#

What is the XDC Network? XDC Network (@XDCNetwork) is an EVM-compatible Layer 1 built around payments, trade finance, tokenization, and enterprise blockchain use cases. Put simply, XDC is trying to bring blockchain infrastructure closer to traditional financial markets. The network launched its mainnet in 2019 and uses XinFin Delegated Proof of Stake, known as XDPoS. So, what makes XDC different from other Layer 1 networks? (1) It focuses heavily on financial infrastructure. XDC was designed with global trade and financial applications in mind. That includes trade finance, cross-border payments, real-world asset tokenization, and decentralized finance. Businesses can tokenize assets such as invoices, bonds, commodities, and other financial instruments on the network. (XDC Network Docs) (2) It is compatible with Ethereum. XDC is EVM-compatible, meaning developers can use familiar Ethereum tools and Solidity smart contracts. That makes it easier for existing Ethereum applications to migrate or expand onto XDC. The network also supports token standards such as XRC20, XRC721, and XRC1155. In Jan 2026, XDC did its Cancun hard fork, syncing with Ethereum's own upgrade and bringing EIP-1559 fee burns on-chain. (3) XDC is built for fast and inexpensive transactions. The network targets roughly two-second block times and supports more than 2,000 transactions per second. Transaction costs are also designed to remain extremely low, making high-volume financial activity more practical. That combination is particularly important for applications handling large numbers of transactions. But speed alone is not what XDC is betting on. Its bigger pitch is whether blockchain can become useful infrastructure for financial institutions and global commerce. So, how does XDC secure the network? XDC uses XDPoS 2.0, which combines delegated proof of stake with Byzantine fault-tolerant consensus. Token holders participate by supporting masternode candidates, while elected masternodes help validate transactions and produce blocks. XDPoS 2.0 also uses the HotStuff consensus protocol and adds forensic monitoring for malicious validator activity. The upgrade went live on mainnet in September 2024. It introduced three-block finality, with transactions reaching finality roughly six seconds after block inclusion. Worth noting, financial applications generally need predictable settlement rather than transactions that can remain uncertain for long periods. Then there is another important part of the XDC architecture: Subnets. XDC Subnets allow organizations to operate permissioned blockchain networks while connecting them to the broader XDC ecosystem. Companies can maintain greater control over governance, privacy, and infrastructure without abandoning interoperability with XDC. That structure is particularly relevant for institutions that cannot put sensitive commercial information directly onto a public blockchain. A company could therefore operate a private environment while using XDC Mainnet for checkpointing and broader interoperability. This creates a bridge between private enterprise infrastructure and public blockchain networks. Rather than competing purely for retail users, XDC trying to position itself as financial infrastructure for tokenized assets, trade finance, payments, and institutional markets.
