Layer 1 · Dual chain PoW and XPBFT PoS · Live since 2024
Xphere
XP
Xphere is an EVM compatible Layer 1 with a dual chain design, pairing a proof of work proof chain for security with an XPBFT proof of stake main chain for fast validation. Its native token is XP.
Xphere is a public, Ethereum compatible Layer 1 blockchain that splits work across two chains: a proof of work proof chain that anchors security and an XPBFT proof of stake main chain that validates transactions quickly. The network had its genesis in 2024 and rolled out a 2.0 mainnet upgrade in 2025, with XP as the native token. Here is how it works and what it is used for, not the price.

Xphere runs two coordinated chains. A proof of work proof chain lets participants mine to provide a base layer of security, while a main chain uses XPBFT, a practical Byzantine fault tolerance form of proof of stake, to order and finalize transactions quickly. Splitting these roles is intended to keep the security of mining while letting the main chain confirm transactions faster than a single proof of work chain would.

Dual chain design
A proof of work proof chain anchors security and a separate XPBFT proof of stake main chain handles fast transaction validation, with the two chains working together.
XPBFT consensus
The main chain uses XPBFT, a practical Byzantine fault tolerance based proof of stake protocol, to order and finalize transactions quickly.
EVM compatibility
Xphere runs the Ethereum Virtual Machine, so Solidity contracts and standard Ethereum tooling and wallets work with few changes.
XP token and mining
XP is the native token, with a supply of about 5.5 billion released through mining over a long schedule. XP pays transaction fees and is used to deploy and run smart contracts.
Ecosystem & usage
What Xphere is used for.
Xphere is used as a base layer for EVM applications that want mining based security alongside a faster proof of stake main chain.
Xphere is a public, EVM compatible Layer 1 blockchain with a dual chain design. A proof of work proof chain provides security and an XPBFT proof of stake main chain validates transactions. Its genesis was in 2024 and its native token is XP.
How does Xphere reach consensus?
Xphere uses two chains: a proof of work proof chain for base security and a main chain running XPBFT, a practical Byzantine fault tolerance form of proof of stake, to finalize transactions quickly.
What is the XP token used for?
XP is the native token of Xphere. It pays transaction fees, is used to deploy and execute smart contracts, and is awarded to participants who mine the proof chain.
Is Xphere compatible with Ethereum?
Yes. Xphere runs the Ethereum Virtual Machine, so Solidity contracts and standard Ethereum tooling and wallets work with few changes.
Can I hold XP in Zypto App?
Not yet. XP isn't in Zypto App at the moment. You can hold it in any self-custodial wallet, and you can ask us to add Xphere using the "Request Xphere" button above.
