About xPrivFi

xPrivFi (XPF) is a fixed-supply Layer-1 blockchain implemented from first principles in Go. The protocol emphasizes technical simplicity, predictability, auditability, and long-term stability. Every block is verified independently by full nodes using deterministic rules — without delegation, staking, governance, or trusted intermediaries.

Layer 1 — The XPF Chain

The XPF base layer is a transparent, lightweight blockchain secured by RandomHash (iPoW). Consensus follows strict rules:

• canonical block header with deterministic serialization
• difficulty derived via CP-Diff v1.0
• ~6 minute block spacing target
• a hard-capped supply of 1,000,000 XPF
• independent validation by every node

The Layer-1 chain is intentionally minimal: no smart contracts, no execution engine, no staking economics, and no delegated trust. All consensus logic is contained within the node implementation, ensuring predictable long-term behavior and easy third-party re-implementation.

Layer 2 — HexGrid Mining

HexGrid is an optional, off-chain mining UX that allows users to participate in round-based equal-chance mining. It does not modify consensus. Instead, it wraps the base PoW engine into a fun, human-scale mining experience.

• 200–890 participants required per round
• no hardware advantage — phones and desktops have equal probability
• each round selects exactly one human winner
• winner receives the normal 1 XPF block reward
• L2 logic is entirely off-chain and optional

Mining is free at launch. If XPF becomes listed on a DEX in the future, an optional Layer-2 participation fee may be introduced. This fee:

• is not part of consensus
• does not affect block rewards or supply
• exists only in the HexGrid Layer-2 application

All payouts from HexGrid rounds remain standard on-chain transactions from a controlled funding wallet. The base chain remains trustless and verifiable regardless of Layer-2 activity.

Design Philosophy

xPrivFi follows a minimal-first philosophy:

• small, auditable node implementation
• deterministic and easily checkable consensus rules
• no Layer-1 feature creep or VM bloat
• optional off-chain extensions instead of protocol complexity
• fixed emission and transparent economic design

This approach keeps the protocol predictable for researchers, implementers, and long-term holders — while allowing creativity and experimentation at Layer-2.

Current Status

The project is under active development. Consensus refinements, node hardening, wallet tooling, miner UI improvements, and explorer upgrades are all ongoing. xPrivFi makes no promises or forward-looking guarantees; development is driven by technical correctness and long-term sustainability.
