## 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:**

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
