XDPoS 2.0 Beta Release

The HashLabs team is thrilled to announce the beta release of XDPoS 2.0, an original consensus engine purposely built for XDC.

What will this tentative critical upgrade bring:

  • State-of-the-art Byzantine security:
    secure even when 1/3 of the master nodes turn rogue

  • Super fast transaction finalization: wait merely 3 blocks for transaction finalization

  • Built-in Forensic monitoring: attackers slashed with evidence, guaranteed

  • Smooth switch from 1.0 to 2.0: simple deployment, no change to accounts/wallets/Dapps

Behind this release are 10 months of dedicated development by a world-class team and 3 months of non-stopping tests on XDC dev-net.

XDPoS 2.0 will not just boost the security and performance of XDC network to the highest level. As an original piece of work, it could also contribute tremendously to the open-source community. We invite the community members to review and contribute to it. We are committed to releasing more features and documentations. Stay tuned!
