• Abstract: XinFin, in 2019, unveiled the XDC network, an enterprise-ready hybrid blockchain platform that is open-source and specializes in tokenization for real-world decentralized finance. Overseeing the XDC network is currently the XDC Foundation, a non-profit organization established to encourage the growth, enhancement, and adoption of the XDC Network through community-driven projects such as GitHub. This whitepaper discusses the real-time assessment of the XDC network's decentralization, scalability, and security aspects as well as the Nakamoto coefficient estimation that follows, which is a measure of a decentralized system's decentralization nature that quantifies the minimal number of nodes or entities needed to compromise the system. A high coefficient denotes greater decentralization, while a low number denotes increased disruption risk. The XDC network's real-time computation of the high Nakamoto coefficient demonstrates its highly decentralized character. The article also addresses the diversity of consensus and execution clients, the host distribution, the geo-distribution, and some of the outstanding issues and business considerations.

• XDC Gasless Subnet: Gasless Subnet Staking dApp for XDC Network [0.0]
  XDC Network is an enterprise-focused blockchain platform that combines the strength of public and private blockchains. Mainnet XDC can be staked to spin off a non-crypto network, accepting currency fees on the XDC network. This would allow users to stake their tokens without incurring gas fees making the staking process more efficient.

  The Lightning Network, known for its millisecond settlement speeds and low transaction fees, offers a compelling alternative to traditional payment processors. This is particularly significant for the unbanked population, which lacks access to standard financial services. Our research targets businesses looking to shift their client to client payment processes, such as B2B invoicing, remittances, and cross-border transactions, to the Lightning Network.

  This study expands the current literature by offering a first-time, data-driven analysis of the degree of decentralisation of the platform Hedera Hashgraph. Results show a considerably higher amount of released supply compared to the release schedule and a growing number of daily active accounts. Hedera Hashgraph exhibits a high centralisation of wealth and a shrinking core that acts as an intermediary for the rest of the network.

  We propose a novel framework using graph neural networks (GNNs) to learn decentralized controllers. GNNs are well-suited for the task since they are naturally distributed architectures and exhibit good scalability and transferability properties. The problems of flocking and multi-agent path planning are explored to illustrate the potential of GNNs in learning decentralized controllers.
