XPR Network & Ecosystem

XPR Network is a new public blockchain and smart contract platform designed for both consumer applications and peer-to-peer payments. It is built around a secure identity and financial settlements layer that allows users to directly link their real identity and fiat accounts, pull funds and buy cryptocurrency, and use that cryptocurrency seamlessly in apps and other environments.

XPR Network was created to bridge the gap between traditional finance (TradFi) and DeFi, creating a way for blockchains to interact directly with bank accounts, vendors, merchants, and everywhere in between. Built to be fast and free, XPR Network imagines a world where push transactions minimize the risk for fraud, where currencies move freely between accounts, and where the type of money being used for a purchase is inconsequential.

Instant and free transactions

The XPR Network can currently handle 4,000 transactions per second (TPS). This is one of the faster-performing blockchains currently available, and allows the different types of transactions possible on XPR Network to happen simultaneously. From rapid microtransactions, to focused authorizing requests, XPR Network's TPS expands its potential use cases.

Transactions for end-users are always free. XPR Network doesn't have miner or gas fees, validators get rewarded in XPR for validating transactions.

Universal names

XPR Network uses a system of human-readable @names in place of confusing wallet addresses to make everyday use of XPR Network products easier. An @name is a unique namespace that works across multiple payment providers, identity verifiers, and payment transmitters. Gone are the days of entering your bank password or credit card number online; crypto and fiat wallets alike now interact as one network through the integration of the XPR Network.

Beyond being an applications platform with a unified identity model, the new XPR Network was designed to allow websites and apps to push payment requests directly to XPR Network-compliant wallets. As a result, users can leverage their unique @name when doing any type of transaction, eliminating the need to memorize or carefully copy wallet addresses that are complex and prone to mistakes.

XPR Network ecosystem overview

Below we give an overview of Dapps and apps we build on the XPR Network blockchain.

WebAuth Wallet

Webauth is the new industry standard for device authentication, identity management, payment processing, and cryptocurrency transactions for Web 3.0, built on the XPR Network. With WebAuth.com, you can approve transactions, make crypto payments, link your decentralized identity, verify/add/remove access for all logins, and reject impersonation attempts through the use of your smartphone – similar to how Google Authenticator and other popular 2FA platforms work, except with a higher bar for security utilizing PSR (XPR Signing Request) over OTP (one-time passwords) that can easily be phished.

Webauth is available on Android, iOS and web.

Metal X

Metal X is a decentralized exchange that allows users to instantly swap XPR Network-based tokens between each other. Users also have the ability to convert supported tokens from different blockchains to XPR Network-based tokens and vice versa. For example, using Metal X, a user can swap XBTC for XUSDT, or convert ETH to XETH before trading it for XPR.

This allows seamless transactions between blockchains due to the speed and flexibility of the XPR Network. The more liquidity that exists between the pair of tokens being swapped, the lower the slippage will be.

Metal X also offers incentives for XPR holders and liquidity providers.

Metal X offers yield farming as well, where users can earn interest (variable APY) for providing liquidity to various X-token pairings.
