There is no doubt that blockchain has been one of the most disruptive and breakthrough technologies to ever exist. This is thanks to blockchain’s ability to enable transfers internationally at the fraction of the cost and time. However, the current blockchain infrastructure has become extremely congested and stretched to its limits. Subsequently, this congestion has led to the rise of network fees, thereby dampening any chances of blockchain competing with mainstream technologies such as MasterCard or Visa.

Fortunately, a number of organizations have seen this problem and are tirelessly working to create high-efficiency platforms meant to be blockchain scaling solutions. One of the organizations spearheading this charge is XinFin Foundation that’s creating an EVM compatible, PoS-powered smart contracts blockchain known as XinFin. In this article, we are going to decode XinFin and how you can easily purchase the XinFin coin on Swapzone using Bitcoin. Let’s dive in!

What is XinFin?

XinFin is an innovative brainchild of the XinFin Foundation that’s geared towards solving the scalability issues plaguing the Ethereum blockchain. Some of the issues that XinFin is trying to solve include network congestion, high Ethereum transaction fees, and high centralization or lack of interoperability on most blockchains. The XinFin network applies a Masternode architecture of 108 Masternodes that utilize a DPoS consensus to enable low transaction fees and fast two-second transaction confirmation times.

The network maintains stability and security through a number of techniques such as randomization, double validation, and staking through smart contracts. Additionally, XinFin supports EVM compatible protocols, smart contracts, and atomic cross-chain token transfers. The network also utilizes and integrates novel techniques such as sharding, EVM parallelization, hardware integration, and private-chain generation into the Masternode architecture. Therefore, XinFin is a decentralized, public, and scalable smart contract blockchain that’s ideal for both big and small businesses.

Does XinFin have its own coin?

XinFin is the native cryptocurrency of the network most commonly known by its ticker symbol XDC. Additionally, it’s also the reserve crypto for all third-party apps running on the XinFin network. All users utilizing the XinFin network to build apps or issue or integrate cryptographic tokens in their apps will need XDC. Therefore, the XinFin coin plays an integral part in the XinFin ecosystem. Other reasons why XinFin coin is important include:

  • It’s used to fund any and all development efforts of the XinFin ecosystem.
  • It’s utilized as an incentive to build and maintain the XinFin network and ecosystem.
  • It’s a long-term, decentralized governance instrument of the XDC network.

Additionally, XDC cryptocurrency is not mineable in the traditional way. It is only mineable through Masternodes. Masternodes are specifically responsible for the creation, verification, and finalization of blocks known as epoch. The block rewards are paid for each epoch, which lasts for about 30 minutes. XDC coins can be stored in an XDC wallet. Wallets that support XDC include the XinFin Web Wallet, the Guarda wallet, and the XDC Android wallet.

XinFin Hybrid Blockchain

XinFin uses a hybrid blockchain architecture that’s forked from both Ethereum and Quorum. This hybrid architecture combines the best of both the private and the public blockchain. The private chain ensures that all sensitive financial data remains secure while the public chain ensures that the blockchain remains transparent and verifiable. Thus, XinFin is highly interoperable with other blockchain platforms. The hybrid nature of the blockchain ensures that the XinFin network is able to remain speedy, secure, and scalable.

XinFin Partnerships

The XinFin network is working tirelessly on building and elevating its network and ecosystem. Therefore, it has secured partnerships from all manner of fields such as gaming, IT, robotics, agriculture, education, payments, communication, advertising, pharmaceuticals, tourism, and food traceability. Some of the partnerships and alliances that XinFin has made are with companies such as Sota Tek, R3, Assocham India, Circle, IndSoft, Copper, Ramco, and Temasek Polytechnic. More information on these partnerships and their outcomes can be found on XinFin’s official communication channels.

An exchange rate is the rate at which one cryptocurrency can be exchanged for another through a certain crypto exchange provider. Cryptocurrency exchange rates on Swapzone reflect current prices of crypto assets and are updated every 30 seconds for you to keep track of any market changes and fluctuations to profit when buying the dip or going with the best exchange rate and the lowest exchange fees. All cryptocurrency exchange providers have their own rates, which depends on supply and demand, mining rewards, costs and so on. See what else might affect the rate in our article on prices.

There are two types of exchange rates aggregated by Swapzone – fixed rates and floating rates. To receive the exact amount of crypto that is displayed at the beginning of the exchange and shield yourself against the market's volatility, opt for fixed-rate offers. If you're ready to take a risk and receive less or more than the sum displayed, go with floating-rate offers but bear in mind that floating rates may drastically change any second.

Crypto transaction fees may vary depending on the network (Ethereum transaction fees tend to spike during the congestion on the network), your chosen cryptocurrency, an instant exchange provider as well as its transaction processing speed and internal policy. These fees may be relatively low but it’s crucial to know they may be imposed in the first place.

If you want to exchange cryptocurrency with the lowest fees, beware of the offers with a grey-colored “Transaction fees are not included” label displayed under the exchange rate. To avoid having to pay an unexpected amount of fees during the exchange, opt for those that do not have that label. Read our articles to learn more about how to exchange cryptocurrency with the lowest fees and find out which assets have the lowest transaction fees.

What is average transaction time?

Transactions usually take from 5 to 30 minutes to be processed, especially if you choose currencies with speedy networks. However, there are several factors that may affect and slow down the exchange process, i.e. transaction volume, blockchain capacity, network updates, cryptocurrency itself and the capacity or chosen exchange platforms.

The processing may take longer due to the large transaction volume, congestion of the network, blockchain overload and market overload, technical issues or system failures, lack of liquidity or network maintenance.

The transaction may be also stuck if you forget to add a required Extra ID, mistake networks or use the wrong wallet for a chosen crypto asset. If you worry that the exchange processing is taking too long, please, contact us at [email protected] or via our live chat on the landing page.
