What is an XDC Network RPC Node?
Access enterprise trade finance blockchain
An XDC Network RPC node provides applications with access to enterprise-grade blockchain infrastructure designed for global trade and finance. XDC bridges traditional finance with blockchain technology through ISO 20022 compliance, institutional partnerships, and real-world use cases processing billions in trade finance transactions.
Why XDC for enterprise
XDC Network isn't targeting retail crypto users — it's built for banks, trade finance companies, and institutions moving real-world assets. With ISO 20022 compliance (the global standard for financial messaging), XDC can integrate directly with existing banking infrastructure, enabling blockchain adoption without disrupting established financial systems.
XDC advantages:
- ISO 20022 compliant — standard financial messaging
- Enterprise partnerships — banks and financial institutions
- Trade finance focus — real-world transaction processing
- Near-zero fees — ~$0.00001 per transaction
- High throughput — 2,000+ TPS, 2s finality
- EVM compatible — familiar development environment
XDPoS consensus
XDPoS (XinFin Delegated Proof of Stake) is XDC's consensus mechanism combining efficiency with decentralization. Validators (masternodes) are selected through delegation, achieving 2-second block times and 2,000+ TPS while maintaining security and decentralization suitable for enterprise requirements.
How XDPoS works:
- Masternode candidates stake XDC tokens
- Token holders delegate to preferred masternodes
- Top 108 masternodes selected as validators
- Validators produce blocks in round-robin fashion
- Block rewards distributed to validators and delegators
Real-world trade finance
XDC's killer application is trade finance digitization. The network processes real-world trade transactions including letters of credit, bills of lading, and invoice financing — traditionally paper-based processes that XDC brings on-chain with ISO 20022 compliance ensuring regulatory acceptance.
Partnerships with institutions like R3, TradeFinex, and various banks demonstrate XDC's position as infrastructure for modernizing global trade.
