Franklin Templeton Brings OnChain Money Market Fund to Coinbase’s Base Network

XDC Network (XDC) revolutionizes trade finance with a secure, hybrid blockchain, enabling low-cost, fast cross-border payments, tokenization, and scalable solutions for businesses.

With the ever-growing volume of transactions and activity in the global trade finance industry, businesses are looking for ways to settle their cross-border payments as efficiently, affordably and securely as possible. This is, however, often more a wish than a reality. What usually happens on the ground in trade finance is vastly different, as credit risk, high transaction costs, delays in processing payments and documentation, lack of transparency and numerous other issues continue to hinder more active trade.

XDC Network (XDC) is a long-established hybrid blockchain platform that aims to resolve these issues by providing a secure, transparent, private and efficient environment to facilitate trade finance operations. Probably the largest project in the blockchain industry dedicated specifically to trade finance and international trade use cases, XDC Network uses a combination of public and private blockchain features to act as the optimal medium for asset tokenization and fast, low-cost and secure cross-border payments.

 blockchain that combines public and private access features to offer asecure, scalable and low-cost environment for trade finance payments and asset tokenization. 

 (DPoS) block validation method, allowing it to offer gas fees that are small fractions of a cent (around $0.0001) and a processing capacity of more than 2,000 

 (TPS). As a low-cost and highly scalable medium for crypto payments, XDC Network aims to provide an efficient platform for trade finance operations and tokenization of 

While there’s no shortage of highly scalable and low-cost blockchain networks, many are either public platforms on which transactional privacy is hard to maintain, or private environments that lack transparency. XDC Network takes a different approach by acting as a hybrid environment; while the main XDC chain is a public network, businesses have the option to launch their subnets and customize the level of access to specific data and operations. The ability to act as a transparent and verifiable public ledger — combined with the functionality to protect sensitive financial data — makes XDC a key enabler for trade finance transactions.

XDC Network also features a high degree of interoperability with external platforms, both blockchain-based and those outside of the 

 world. The platform is compatible with the 

 (EVM), making cross-chain communications with other EVM chains seamless for users and developers. 

Importantly, XDC has integrated support for 

, a widely adopted messaging standard used by financial institutions to exchange data. The integration of ISO 20022 is aimed at optimizing the efficiency and compatibility of XDC transactions with Web 2.0 entities in the trade finance industry.

Some key use cases for XDC Network include supply chain management solutions, efficient payments between parties in the trade finance sector, applications utilizing high-volume micropayments, tokenization of physical and digital assets and more. In general, any application or business that requires fast, efficient, minimal cost and secure payments could benefit from using the XDC platform.

The XDC Network project was originally conceived and launched in 2017 in Singapore under the name XinFin by Atul Khekade, Ritesh Kakkad. It's supported by the nonprofit XDC Foundation, launched in 2021. XDC Network's mainnet was introduced in mid-2019.

Besides its ultra-low transaction costs and high processing capacity, probably the biggest advantage of XDC Network for trade finance operations is its hybrid nature. While public networks are great for transparency, they’re often ill-suited for financial transactions between two corporate parties. XDC Network acts as a public network, but allows organizations to control the level of access to data via private subnets.

A private subnet’s privacy and access features can be customized per the agreed terms between transacting parties, or per the requirements of the organization operating the subnet. For instance, a common scenario in trade finance is the need to demonstrate enough financial reserves to pay for goods and services before entering into a contractual agreement. Using a public access mode, a transacting business can demonstrate to the counterparty its financial reserves and creditworthiness. After concluding the agreement and receiving the goods, it can process the actual payment via private mode. 

During the whole process, all the verifications and transactions occur via the XDC Network’s platform without the need for lengthy bureaucratic procedures, such as obtaining a letter of credit from a bank and setting up a dedicated trade finance account.

XDC Network uses a customized variation of the DPoS block validation method. XinFin Delegated Proof of Stake (XDPoS) can process more than 2,000 TPS by concentrating block validation activity in the hands of a few 

. At the first stage of the validation process, a small set of validators is chosen via voting to create blocks of transactions. These elected validators collate and sign the blocks, which are then fully endorsed by a broader set of validators as adhering to the blockchain's consensus standards.

Block validators, also known as Masternodes, need to lock a collateral amount of 10 million XDC (around $270,000 as of Oct 31, 2024) to participate in the validation process. A fixed reward is generated for the completion of the validation of each block, which is shared among Masternodes, distributed proportionally according to their performance and uptime. There are currently 108 Masternodes on the XDC blockchain, with another 178 registered as standby Masternodes, ready to step in if a current validator drops out.

Users who would like to participate in securing the network's operations but can't afford the 10 million XDC collateral can still earn a share of block validation rewards by delegating their funds to a Masternode.

 has undergone significant changes in the years since its launch. It was first based on 

 (PoW), moving later on to the more efficient and environmentally friendly 

 (PoS), and then upgrading to the XDPoS model described above. In October 2024, the project launched version 2.0 of its mainnet, which features the next iteration of the block validation model — XDPoS 2.0.

The upgrade to XDPoS 2.0 has further improved XDC Network’s scalability and security, providing better validator incentives to Masternodes. While these improvements were accompanied by gas fee increases of up to 50 times, the actual fees on the blockchain remain minuscule, around $0.0001 on average, as they've increased from an even tinier base.

We noted above that XDC allows businesses to spin off private subnets that can be customized to the requirements of each client and use case. The XDC protocol may also be used to launch gasless subnets, a valuable feature for applications that aim to provide a smooth user experience in areas such as gaming, the Internet of Things (IoT), micropayments and more. A gasless XDC subnet operates as a 

 solution connected to the main XDC chain, and is optimized for specific use cases, such as 

, allowing users to transact without holding any cryptocurrency.

, XDC has developed different token standards for specific use cases, similar to the system of standards used on 

XRC20 is the blockchain's standard for fungible tokens, with a functionality similar to that of Ethereum's 

. XRC20 tokens are interoperable, and can be used within the blockchain's 

 (DApps). They’re ideal for powering payments flowing between parties in trade finance.

 (NFTs). Unlike XRC20 tokens, each XRC721 token is unique and has its ownership and intellectual property (IP) metadata attached to it. Besides creating standard NFTs, these tokens are also useful for tokenizing unique RWAs, such as physical and digital artwork, real estate, unique brand assets and luxury goods items.

XRC404 is the blockchain's standard token. It combines the features of fungible and non-fungible tokens. Using this standard, developers can program complex functionality to accommodate both fungibility and uniqueness attributes as required. Some use cases for XRC404 include 

 and complex financial instruments that require unique identification, but may still exist in multiple quantities.

Originally, the XDC project — then called XinFin — launched its native cryptocurrency, XDCE, on the Ethereum blockchain in early 2018. With the launch of the XinFin mainnet in mid-2019, the XDC token native to the blockchain was also introduced. Throughout 2020 and early 2021, XDCE could be migrated to XDC at a ratio of 1:1. At the end of March 2021, XDCE's circulation was terminated and the token's contract on Ethereum was closed, with XDC remaining the platform's sole native cryptocurrency.

XDC tokens may be used for gas fee payments, 

/stake delegation and validator reward payouts, as well as

. XDC Network Masternodes, all of whom need to stake 10 million XDC on the network, can participate in the voting process to determine the direction of the platform's ecosystem development and its operational rules. The wider XDC community indirectly participates in these governance processes via stake delegation.

XDC has a total supply of nearly 38 billion, with no maximum cap specified.

You can store and use XDC tokens with one of the many wallet apps supported by the platform, including XDC Web Wallet, XDC Pay, Guarda, MathWallet, MyEtherWallet and more. The industry's two leading hardware wallets, Trezor and Ledger, are also supported, and the Ledger Nano S Plus model can be connected to the XDC Web Wallet.

For an added level of enterprise-grade security, XDC also supports three

The XDC token is available on Bybit as a Spot swap pair (

As of Nov 1, 2024, the XDC token is trading at $0.02719, which is 86% lower than its ATH of $0.1928 on Aug 21, 2021, and over 6,700% higher than its ATL of $0.0003953 on Jul 22, 2019.

 to trade at $0.0547 in 2025 and $0.3715 in 2030.

Some investors are making extremely bullish assumptions regarding the token, hoping it might reach $1 or even as high as $100. While $1 isn’t totally out of the question from a long-term perspective, it's still quite unlikely within the next five years. Most major price prediction portals or analysts don’t see XDC coming close to the $1 mark within the next few years. However, one prediction portal, PricePrediction, anticipates the token to cross $1 by around 2033.

As for the $100 level, it's highly doubtful unless some major development leads to a mammoth XDC price pump.

XDC Network is the trade finance industry's flagship project, leveraging blockchain technology for the sector. While other web3 solutions aimed at trade finance might exist, the leadership in this niche is firmly in the hands of XDC. 

As the volume and activity of international trade increases, businesses in this sphere will find it difficult to ignore the numerous benefits of this platform. All of its features — ultrafast and low-cost payments, transparent creditworthiness verifications directly on the blockchain, compatibility with the ISO 20022 financial messaging standard, stellar scalability and the ability to spin off your own private chain — position the platform as an ideal solution for trade finance organizations seeking efficiency and security.

VIDT DAO is a blockchain ecosystem run by a decentralized autonomous organization. It provides timestamping technology that can help to authenticate documents.

 is incredibly secure. VIDT DAO hopes to turn this inherent security into a marketable service for all sorts of businesses. This blockchain validation ecosystem aims to provide people with reliable ways of verifying transactions. In addition to being a great vehicle for securing contracts, VIDT DAO also has some promising applications for investors. Keep reading to learn more about this service and see why it's so intriguing.

 (DAO). It provides timestamping technology that can help to authenticate documents. Members of the VIDT DAO community work together to promote its service and find novel new applications for VIDT DAO technology.

VIDT DAO was first launched as VIDT Datalink in 2019. The project was led by game artists Marnix van den Berg, Pim Voets and Caciel van Helden. Originally, VIDT Datalink was conceived as a method of combating the 

 the web3 space. Its founders hoped to create an authentication method that wouldn't be susceptible to malicious actors.

As the project progressed, VIDT Datalink's creators also became interested in decentralization. In 2021, they chose to rebrand their system as VIDT DAO. This transition also included turning the ecosystem from a business run by a few people into a community project to be run by a collective of users.

VIDT DAO aims to address one of the biggest problems in modern business: due to the unregulated nature of the internet, many people are victims of intellectual property theft and scams. VIDT DAO hopes to provide a more reliable way of proving ownership. Its timestamp service allows you to prove exactly when a file came into existence, and who created it. VIDT DAO believes its secure crypto system can help people manage everything from compliance audits to patent applications.

Unlike many other security solutions, VIDT DAO aims to accomplish all of this while remaining completely decentralized. Businesses that work with its ecosystem don’t have to give up control to a centralized organization. Instead, they get the benefits of timestamp authentication while retaining all of their personal data. VIDT DAO believes its decentralized organization can provide more flexibility, security and freedom than other solutions.

VIDT DAO operates with a dual chain system. Its 

 and BNB Smart Chain to provide users with optimal security and reliability. On both chains, file data is stored in the form of hashes. A hash is essentially a digital fingerprint in the form of a string of symbols generated by a cryptographic algorithm. The hash is tied to any file, and if the file is changed in any way the hash also changes.

VIDT DAO takes each hash that a user wants to preserve and adds it to the blockchain’s ledger. The hash is stored alongside any relevant data, such as who created it and where it was made. When it's stored as part of a new block on the chain, it's permanently tied to a timestamp. All of the information is frozen in a snapshot that allows users to both authenticate a document and learn about its origins.

Though VIDT DAO started with one simple tool, it's expanded a lot over the years, and its DAO is now home to a robust crypto ecosystem with a variety of exciting features.

The primary feature of the VIDT DAO ecosystem is its 

. VIDT DAO offers a convenient application programming interface (API) that links to any cloud service. Once users launch the API, they can easily create new, timestamped digital documents or check the timestamp on older documents. VIDT DAO lets people confirm who created a document, when and where it was made and whether it’s been altered.

The VIDT DAO community is part of what makes this ecosystem so special. It consists of multiple Telegram channels, Discord servers and social media accounts that work together to promote VIDT DAO. In addition to raising general awareness about VIDT DAO’s system, its community also collaborates on finding new applications for the platform's technology. 

VIDT Academy is a platform created to onboard new users into the VIDT DAO ecosystem. People can explore its detailed structure and get step-by-step instructions for timestamping their documents. This feature makes it much easier to discover all that the ecosystem has to offer.

In the past few years, VIDT DAO has gone through many changes. In addition to launching its timestamp authorization system, it’s also transformed from a private business to a public DAO. Most of 

 prioritizes the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) tools. The company plans to release an AI platform that uses VIDT DAO's technology to combat false information in the AI community. It also plans to release a new system that easily integrates timestamping into virtual reality (VR). 

The VIDT token plays a critical role in VIDT DAO's timestamping process. The creation of each timestamp requires users to submit a VIDT token. In addition to being a blockchain timestamping technology token, VIDT also functions as a

 were distributed to users via private sales and crypto exchanges. The remaining 17% is reserved in a fund for the VIDT DAO incubator treasury.

Since its launch in 2022, the VIDT token's price has fluctuated quite a bit. After initially hovering around $0.04, its value dropped to roughly $0.02 in 2023 and stayed there for a while. Since early 2024, VIDT prices have been on a slow yet steady climb. The token reached a high of $0.06 in March 2024, fell briefly and began soaring again in mid-August.

Currently, traders are reporting bullish outlooks for VIDT. Some believe that the utility token might even reach a new all-time high of 

 within six months. While analysis of the token doesn't support such a drastic rise, crypto pricing history does support the idea of at least a small rise. CoinCodex predicts the token’s value will increase to $0.041 in the short term and

As the key utility token for VIDT DAO, VIDT is in high demand. People need to have VIDT in their wallets every time they use VIDT DAO's timestamping technology, so there’s always a market for this token. Its value fluctuates regularly, but has had no outsized price spikes or drops, usually remaining between $0.02–$0.04 no matter what the market is doing. This makes it ideal for investors with a low risk tolerance who still want to invest in some crypto startups.

However, even if VIDT has avoided the unreliability of many other cryptos, it's still important to be cautious. Market volatility can generally cause unexpected downturns. Furthermore, VIDT DAO's system is so specialized that it runs the risk of being outperformed by timestamping services with more security options. Investors who work with this token need to maintain a diverse portfolio and, as always, not invest money than they can afford to lose.

VIDT DAO provides a reliable way to timestamp crypto/fiat payments and secure digital files. Though this ecosystem might seem fairly straightforward, it has a surprising number of applications. Thanks to its thoughtful technology and devoted community, VIDT DAO is poised to become a leader in the crypto security industry.
