Welcome

Official X-Cash documentation: wallets, nodes, RPC, DPoPS, and the ongoing migration from the legacy chain to the new X-Cash network.

X-Cash is a privacy-focused crypto ecosystem founded in 2018. This repository contains the official documentation for users, node operators, delegates, and developers.

X-Cash: Your money. Your privacy. Your governance.

What X-Cash is building

X-Cash is designed as a payment system first: simple private payments for everyday users and small businesses, without requiring them to understand blockchain.

At the protocol level, X-Cash operates a privacy-focused Layer-1 network with Monero-inspired (CryptoNote-based) privacy foundations. At the product level, X-Cash focuses on usability: one wallet, clear choices, and simple actions.

X-Cash is built as an ecosystem rather than a single product, with user experience as a core design principle.

Core pillars documented in this repo:

  • FlexPrivacy (Hybrid Transactions): choose private or public transactions on the same network, on a per-transaction basis.

  • DPoPS (Delegated Proof of Private Stake): a stake-based consensus designed for privacy coins, with delegate voting and BFT-style verification.

  • EVM interoperability: built-in migration/bridging path to the EVM ecosystem (including Base) so X-Cash isn’t isolated from liquidity and applications.

  • Scalability & extensibility: roadmap-aligned work including upgraded L1 infrastructure and future expansion paths.

Ecosystem components

X-Cash is intentionally packaged as a set of user-facing products on top of a privacy L1:

X-Wallet

X-Wallet is the primary interface of the ecosystem: a non-custodial browser wallet designed to make sending and managing assets understandable for non-technical users. It includes a privacy toggle, staking interface, and access to migration flows.

Privacy & transactions (FlexPrivacy)

FlexPrivacy (Hybrid Transactions) provides optional privacy in a unified model: users can choose private or transparent transactions from the same wallet UX, depending on context.

EVM interoperability

X-Cash includes a native, built-in migration mechanism between:

  • the X-Cash Layer-1 network

  • the EVM ecosystem (including Base and other Ethereum-compatible chains)

This provides access to DeFi and liquidity when needed, while preserving the ability to return to the privacy-focused Layer-1.

X-Payment (in development)

X-Payment is a payment system in development focused on real commerce: mobile-first payment flows, instant peer-to-peer payments, and merchant tooling for small and medium businesses.

Migration to the new X-Cash network (in progress)

X-Cash is currently running an ongoing migration from the legacy blockchain to a new X-Cash network. The migration is designed to be handled in the browser through X-Wallet, and the process is announced ahead of time (including the claim window).

High-level flow (see the official page for the latest details and timing):

  1. Open X-Wallet and claim using your existing wallet credentials (you will need your 24/25-word seed phrase). Wait for full wallet sync.

  2. Receive new tokens on Base (ERC-20) at a 1:1 ratio (for immediate liquidity and DeFi access while the new L1 launches).

  3. Legacy chain sunsets / new X-Cash L1 launches with upgraded privacy layer and DPoPS consensus.

  4. Swap Base tokens → native XCASH on the new L1 via the built-in bridge to unlock full L1 features (privacy, staking, governance).

  5. Polygon WXCASH holders can swap to the new Base token via X-Wallet.

Roadmap (where we’re headed)

The roadmap describes the project’s direction across three horizons:

  • Near-term (Foundation & Launch): new X-Cash L1 network, token migration, community airdrop, Base integration, DAO activation, and an enhanced X-Wallet experience.

  • Mid-term (Scaling & Expansion): higher-throughput scaling (zk-rollup L2), smart-contract sidechains, privacy-preserving DeFi primitives, and delegate performance tooling.

  • Long-term (Ecosystem maturity): cross-chain swap protocol, expanded mobile wallet experiences, privacy-preserving NFTs, and additional privacy-first applications.
