## 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 through an XDC RPC endpoint or XDC RPC URL, 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, all supported by enterprise-grade XinFin RPC infrastructure.

Most enterprise integrations rely on the XDC JSON RPC interface, which allows banking applications, payment systems, and digital asset platforms to connect using standard blockchain development tools.

### 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 with support from any XinFin RPC provider

During evaluation and proof-of-concept stages, organizations often use an XDC free RPC service before deploying dedicated infrastructure for production trade-finance applications.

### XDPoS consensus

**XDPoS (XinFin Delegated Proof of Stake)** is the consensus mechanism securing XDC Mainnet RPC infrastructure while 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:**

1. Masternode candidates stake XDC tokens
2. Token holders delegate to preferred masternodes
3. Top 108 masternodes selected as validators
4. Validators produce blocks in round-robin fashion
5. 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.

## Technical Documentation

Quick start for developers

### Supported RPC Methods

XDC Network supports all standard Ethereum JSON-RPC methods:

- **eth\_blockNumber** — current block number
- **eth\_getBalance** — XDC balance
- **eth\_call** — execute view functions
- **eth\_sendRawTransaction** — broadcast transactions
- **eth\_getTransactionReceipt** — transaction confirmation
- **eth\_getLogs** — event logs
- **eth\_gasPrice** — current gas price
- **eth\_estimateGas** — gas estimation
- **eth\_subscribe** — WebSocket subscriptions

### Code Examples

💻

#### JavaScript (ethers.js) — XDC Network Connection:

```
const { ethers } = require('ethers');

const provider = new ethers.JsonRpcProvider('https://rpc.crypto-chief.com/xdc/YOUR_API_KEY');

// Verify we're on XDC Network
const network = await provider.getNetwork();
console.log('Chain ID:', network.chainId); // 50

// Get XDC balance
const balance = await provider.getBalance('xdc...');
console.log('XDC Balance:', ethers.formatEther(balance));

// Note: XDC addresses start with 'xdc' instead of '0x'
// Convert if needed: xdc... -> 0x...
const ethAddress = 'xdc...'.replace('xdc', '0x');

// Interact with trade finance contract
const TRADE_CONTRACT = '0x...';
const tradeABI = [
  'function createInvoice(bytes32, uint256, address) external',
  'function getInvoiceStatus(bytes32) view returns (uint8)'
];
const trade = new ethers.Contract(TRADE_CONTRACT, tradeABI, provider);
```

💻

#### Python (web3.py) — XDC Setup:

```
from web3 import Web3

w3 = Web3(Web3.HTTPProvider('https://rpc.crypto-chief.com/xdc/YOUR_API_KEY'))

print('Connected to XDC:', w3.is_connected())
print('Chain ID:', w3.eth.chain_id)  # 50
print('Latest block:', w3.eth.block_number)
print('Gas price:', w3.eth.gas_price, 'wei')

# XDC has extremely low fees
gas_gwei = w3.from_wei(w3.eth.gas_price, 'gwei')
print(f'Gas: {gas_gwei} Gwei (near-zero)')
```

💻

#### WebSocket — Monitor Trade Finance:

```
const { ethers } = require('ethers');
const provider = new ethers.WebSocketProvider('wss://rpc.crypto-chief.com/xdc/ws/YOUR_API_KEY');

// Monitor new blocks (every ~2 seconds)
provider.on('block', async (blockNumber) => {
  const block = await provider.getBlock(blockNumber);
  console.log(`XDC block ${blockNumber}: ${block.transactions.length} txs`);
});

// Monitor trade finance events
const TRADE_CONTRACT = '0x...';
const filter = {
  address: TRADE_CONTRACT,
  topics: [ethers.id('InvoiceCreated(bytes32,uint256,address)')]
};

provider.on(filter, (log) => {
  console.log('Trade invoice created:', log);
});
```

### XDC Best Practices

- **Address Format:** XDC addresses use 'xdc' prefix, convert to '0x' for contracts
- **Enterprise Focus:** Design for institutional and trade finance use cases
- **ISO 20022:** Consider compliance requirements for financial messaging
- **Low Fees:** Leverage near-zero costs for high-frequency operations
- **Finality:** Design for 2-second block time and fast finality
- **Testing:** Test thoroughly on Apothem testnet
