Description
The xx network is a high-speed, quantum-resistant, decentralized mixnet and blockchain platform dedicated to protecting user privacy and metadata. Its core technology, cMixx, is a revolutionary metadata shredding protocol that aggregates user data into mixed anonymity sets, processing them in real-time to prevent third-party analysis and linkability between senders and recipients. This is achieved through precomputation, making it significantly faster than other mixnets. The network is secured by a Nominated Proof of Stake (NPOS) consensus mechanism and is fully decentralized, with over 350 independently operated nodes in over 50 countries. The native xx coin is integral to the ecosystem, used for incentivizing node operation, staking, network governance, and as a medium of exchange for private communications. The platform provides a comprehensive developer kit (xxDK) with libraries for Go, iOS, and Android, and an open API for building and integrating privacy-preserving dApps, wallets, and exchanges. The ecosystem includes a range of tools for users, such as a bridge to convert native xx coins to wrapped ERC20 tokens on Ethereum, a web wallet for asset management, a simplified staking app, a block explorer, and a cMix dashboard. The xx Foundation, along with its subsidiary FOG, supports the community and ecosystem growth through grants and by providing resources. The official community forum is a central hub for discussions on governance, development, security, and grants.
