If the submission is declined, then the reason will be posted here.
In the meantime, you can continue to improve this submission by editing normally.

Where to get help

If you need help editing or submitting your draft, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors. These venues are only for help with editing and the submission process, not to get reviews.
If you need feedback on your draft, or if the review is taking a lot of time, you can try asking for help on the talk page of a relevant WikiProject. Some WikiProjects are more active than others so a speedy reply is not guaranteed.

The xx network is a blockchain platform that combines cryptocurrency functionality and communication features. It was developed by cryptographer David Chaum, known for his pioneering work in digital currency and privacy technology dating back to the 1980s.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5]^[6]

xx coin (abbreviation: XX^[a]), (previously known as Elixxir^[7]), is the native cryptocurrency of the xx network.^[8]

The xx network integrates quantum-resistant blockchain technology with privacy-focused communication features. It is designed to protect against both current and future privacy threats, including those potentially emerging from advances in quantum computing.^[9]^[10]^[11]^[12]

History

The xx network launched in 2020, with its mainnet becoming operational in 2021.^[13]^[14] The project was founded by David Chaum, who previously developed eCash^[15] in the 1990s and conducted research in anonymous communication systems, particularly mix networks.^[16]^[17]

Technology

The xx network incorporates several technological elements in its architecture:

cMix Protocol

The network employs a mixing protocol (or mix network) called cMix, designed to protect metadata in communications and transactions.^[18]^[19]^[20]

xx consensus

The xx network uses a nominated proof-of-stake (nPoS), as its consensus mechanism similarly to the Polkadot blockhain, which allows token holders to participate in network governance and node operation.^[21]^[22]^[23]

Quantum Resistance

The network incorporates cryptographic methods intended to resist potential future attacks from quantum computers.^[24]^[25]^[26]^[27]^[28]

xx coin

The xx coin (XX) serves as the native cryptocurrency of the xx network. It is used for:

Network governance
Payment for network services
Staking and node operation
Transaction fee settlement

Applications

Several decentralized applications operate on the xx network:

xx messenger: A decentralized messaging application, using the cMix protocol aiming to offer metadata protection and quantum-resistant encryption.^[29]^[30]
Phoenixx.io: A decentralized application (dApp) that integrates Web3 functionality with private communication features.^[31]
Proxxy: A privacy-enhancement tool that acts as an intermediary between users' wallets and RPC providers to reduce metadata collection.^[32]^[33]
haven.xx.network: A decentralized social networking platform that prioritizes privacy and resistance to surveillance.^[34]^[35]

Team

The project is led by David Chaum, who serves as the founder and CEO. Chaum's previous work includes DigiCash (eCash), Elixxir, and Praxxis. The xx network team comprises experts in cryptography, distributed systems, and blockchain technology.^[36]^[37]
