Abstract
This research provides a thorough assessment of the XDC Network, a delegated proof of stake (XDPoS) consensus-based blockchain technology, across its technical, security, and business dimensions. The study evaluates the network's decentralization, scalability, and security features, including its Nakamoto coefficient, validator participation, and client distribution. Additionally, it examines the developer ecosystem, including GitHub metrics, and business aspects such as transaction costs and predictability. The findings of this research will provide valuable insights into the strengths and weaknesses of the XDC Network, informing stakeholders and decision-makers about its suitability for various use cases, particularly in trade finance, asset tokenization, and enterprise blockchain solutions.
