Most blockchains rely on mining or staking to validate transactions and secure the network. But both approaches come with serious trade-offs — from high energy consumption to centralization and slow confirmation times. Xcoin takes a fundamentally different route.
Xcoin replaces mining with a more scalable and sustainable design built on Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs) and validator checkpoints, eliminating the need for expensive computation or block production altogether.
Traditional proof-of-work blockchains (like Bitcoin) require every transaction to be processed one block at a time, in a strict linear chain. This limits throughput and creates delays during periods of high usage.
Xcoin uses a DAG+ structure, where transactions can flow in parallel and confirm each other. This means thousands of transactions can be processed simultaneously, rather than being queued behind a single miner's block.
There are no miners competing for rewards, no block races, and no wasted energy. Every transaction plays a role in securing the network and moving things forward.
Instead of mining or staking, Xcoin uses a set of Validator Nodes (called SEP) Nodes to establish global consensus. These validators:
Since validators do not earn block rewards or inflationary payouts, they are economically neutral — and chosen based on transparent licensing, not wealth or hardware power.
Even with full encryption on every transaction, Xcoin is built to handle 10,000+ transactions per second using:
This allows the network to grow without bloating the chain or revealing sensitive user data.
By removing mining and staking altogether, Xcoin avoids:
Instead, it offers a lightweight, high-throughput design with built-in privacy and zero inflation — making it ideal for global-scale, day-to-day use.
