XDC Mainnet Turns Six
The XDC mainnet quietly marked six years of uninterrupted operation in early June. Since its 2019 launch, the network has processed over 800 million transactions globally. Transaction finality remains under two seconds, and gas fees cost fractions of a cent. These performance benchmarks continue to support enterprise applications and mission-critical deployments. The XDC Foundation used the milestone to highlight the network’s growth from a focused trade finance blockchain to a multipurpose Layer-1 platform.
What began as an initiative to improve supply chain finance with blockchain has now matured into a globally distributed ecosystem supporting tokenized bonds, invoice financing, compliance tooling, and low-fee decentralized applications. With over 200 active validators and nodes across multiple continents, the network’s decentralization profile continues to strengthen. These operational metrics support XDC’s credibility among financial institutions and regulatory bodies assessing enterprise-grade blockchain infrastructure.
The anniversary also reinforced the importance of long-term protocol reliability. As newer Layer-1 networks enter the space, XDC’s multi-year operational record provides a level of assurance that many emerging protocols still lack. This track record is becoming increasingly relevant as central banks, asset managers, and compliance-first DeFi platforms look for stable foundations for tokenized finance.
Apothem Testnet Rollback and Recovery
On June 11, the Apothem testnet experienced validator sync issues that halted network consensus. To restore stability, developers rolled back the chain to block 76,582,900. This allowed validators to resynchronize and rejoin the network successfully.
The mainnet remained unaffected throughout the incident. Apothem, used for testing dApps and smart contracts, was fully restored within 24 hours. Updated sync protocols and node documentation were released to prevent future issues. The quick resolution reflected XDC’s operational maturity and commitment to developer reliability.

Ecosystem and Developer Tooling
June brought major enhancements to the developer and liquidity layers of the XDC Network. Two notable integrations—Curve Finance and Stargate—extended the network’s interoperability and capital efficiency. These developments were not simply ecosystem milestones but fundamental improvements to the tooling available for developers and asset issuers. XDC continued refining its positioning as a scalable and cost-efficient chain for real-world asset applications and stablecoin infrastructure.
Curve Finance Launches on XDC
In mid-June, Curve Finance deployed on the XDC Network. This move brought one of the most established decentralized finance protocols into the XDC ecosystem. Curve is known for its automated market maker (AMM) design optimized for stable-value assets like stablecoins and liquid staking tokens. The XDC deployment includes both Curve’s StableSwap and CryptoSwap contracts.
This launch enables permissionless liquidity creation for any XDC-based asset that maintains a stable price peg. For example, developers can now create pools between stablecoins, tokenized invoices, or real-world assets without needing external approval. The protocol’s capital-efficient design helps minimize slippage, improve trade execution, and support deeper liquidity—all crucial for onboarding institutional players.
Additionally, Curve’s front-end now supports the XDC Network, providing users with a familiar interface to interact with new XDC pools. By offering both technical and user-facing integration, Curve lowers the barrier for XDC asset exposure within the broader DeFi ecosystem. It also gives existing Curve users a reason to explore yield opportunities on XDC without switching tools or workflows.
The integration aligns with XDC’s broader DeFi roadmap. Liquidity remains one of the largest hurdles for real-world asset protocols, especially in emerging markets. Curve’s inclusion on XDC marks a strategic shift toward solving that challenge through composable infrastructure.
We’re excited to welcome @CurveFinance to the @XDC_Network_ !

Stargate Bridge Enables Cross-Chain Liquidity
Also in June, XDC Network integrated with Stargate, a bridging protocol developed by LayerZero Labs. This integration allows users to transfer XDC tokens across major networks including Ethereum, Solana, Arbitrum, and Base. These bridges use LayerZero’s messaging layer to ensure instant and verifiable transactions across chains.
The bridge implementation introduces zero slippage transfers for XDC holders, meaning assets maintain their full value during bridging. Only standard gas fees apply. This improvement significantly enhances XDC’s multichain liquidity. Users can now move value between ecosystems to take advantage of specific DeFi opportunities while remaining connected to XDC’s infrastructure.
Developers building cross-chain applications can also use the bridge to create multichain protocols that route liquidity through XDC. For example, a lending dApp could accept collateral on Solana and settle final transactions on XDC using Stargate. These use cases are increasingly relevant as decentralized applications prioritize speed, cost efficiency, and regulatory alignment.
By expanding to LayerZero’s bridging layer, XDC signals its intent to play an active role in the broader Web3 liquidity stack. It also simplifies onboarding for users already active on Ethereum-based DeFi platforms. This integration creates a seamless user experience while reinforcing XDC’s relevance in multichain capital flow.
Strategic Partnerships and Integrations
June 2025 saw XDC Network strengthen its position as a regulatory-ready infrastructure for tokenized finance. Strategic integrations expanded XDC’s reach into compliance, lending, and stablecoin settlement systems. These partnerships were not just technical upgrades. They reflected a broader shift toward building tools that support real-world adoption. Each new integration aligned with XDC’s long-term goal: making regulated DeFi and institutional tokenization more accessible and practical.
CRYMBO Adds Compliance Rails to XDC
XDC Network partnered with CRYMBO to integrate on-chain compliance capabilities directly into the network’s infrastructure. CRYMBO provides regulatory tools including identity verification, anti-money laundering (AML) checks, and FATF Travel Rule support. These tools are essential for institutions seeking to participate in decentralized finance while staying within legal boundaries.
The integration allows regulated financial entities to onboard with confidence. Institutions can now verify users, enforce jurisdictional rules, and meet reporting standards—all on-chain. By embedding these compliance features at the protocol layer, XDC minimizes the friction typically faced by banks and asset managers evaluating blockchain solutions.
This partnership also signals a shift in how compliance is viewed. Rather than building around regulation, XDC is building with it. CRYMBO ensures that tokenized transactions on XDC meet the same transparency and due diligence requirements as traditional financial systems. This makes the network more appealing to partners in trade finance, securities issuance, and asset servicing.
CRYMBO has partnered with XDC Network to integrate institutional-grade compliance into the blockchain. This collaboration embeds privacy-preserving, auditable compliance directly into XDC, positioning it as the go-to platform for financial institutions.

Credefi Deploys Lending on XDC
Credefi, a hybrid lending platform bridging DeFi and traditional finance, officially launched on XDC Network in June. The integration followed Credefi’s participation in the XDC Enterprise RWA Accelerator. Their protocol enables real-world asset (RWA)-backed lending using receivables, invoices, and business collateral.
This deployment opens new financing channels for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) on XDC. Borrowers can tokenize invoices or supply chain contracts and receive liquidity directly from decentralized lenders. For investors, Credefi offers a way to access yield opportunities tied to real-world performance rather than volatile digital assets.
Credefi’s model includes borrower risk scoring, loan insurance, and traditional credit checks. These features reduce risk and bridge the trust gap between TradFi lenders and DeFi protocols. By bringing this infrastructure to XDC, Credefi adds a critical piece to the network’s RWA ecosystem. It also shows that blockchain lending can support real businesses—not just crypto-native actors.
XDC Supports Ubyx Stablecoin Settlement Network
In June, XDC Network joined the Ubyx Foundation to support the development of a unified stablecoin settlement infrastructure. Ubyx is building a framework for low-latency stablecoin payments across global financial institutions, and it selected XDC as one of its settlement layers.
XDC’s low-cost transactions, deterministic finality, and compliance-forward architecture made it an ideal choice for stablecoin settlement. The integration allows for faster, more efficient cross-border transfers with traceable identity metadata. These features are essential for central banks, commercial banks, and fintech firms experimenting with digital dollar use cases.
This collaboration reinforces XDC’s commitment to enterprise-grade infrastructure. While many blockchains compete to serve retail users or NFTs, XDC is focusing on global payment systems and B2B financial rails. The partnership with Ubyx may lead to use cases in interbank clearing, remittances, and cross-border treasury management—all areas where stablecoins are gaining traction.
