What is Xenea?

Our Motivation

We stand at a crossroads where, due to regulatory development and technological advancement, public blockchain technology is evolving from merely serving cryptocurrencies to being applied in tokenizing real-world assets (RWA). According to a Boston Consulting Group report, the RWA market is expected to reach up to $16 trillion by 2030.

In this context, we anticipate RWA tokenization will become commonplace. NFTs can efficiently tokenize highly unique assets which were difficult to tokenize with previous technologies, and can also attach more information compared to fungible tokens.

However, current NFTs often exist on infrastructure where tokens and data are separated, potentially leading to future data loss or inconsistency in ownership. Moreover, the current mainstream consensus mechanism algorithms (Sybil resistance) make it inherently difficult to securely transfer valuable data over ultra-long periods. This could jeopardize the inheritance of sensitive RWAs for future generations.

To address these challenges, we at Xenea propose a robust foundation suitable for storing all types of data. In particular, anticipating a future where RWA tokenization becomes commonplace with the expansion of NFT use cases, we are building infrastructure guaranteeing long-term consistency of data and ownership.

To ensure the safety of this infrastructure, we are adopting a peer-review approach in developing our core architecture. In this approach, we submit our papers to the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers), one of the most authoritative associations in the field of computer science, for third-party review to verify scientific validity.

Through the development of Xenea, we aim not only to pursue technological innovation but also to usher in a new era bringing safety and permanence to digital assets, bridging humanity's heritage to the future.

Overview of Xenea

Xenea is an EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain. It is supported by our unique set of protocols which enable long-term storage and secure transfer of valuable data, which are implemented into code after undergoing IEEE peer review.

The main technical features of the Xenea blockchain are as follows:

• EVM Compatible: Full compatibility with EVM

• Decentralized Autonomous Content Storage (DACS): An architecture integrating a hash-based file system with the Xenea blockchain to ensure data permanence

• Proof of Democracy (PoD): A consensus algorithm where each wallet has an equal voting right in the consensus

EVM Interoperability

We have adopted the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) as the virtual machine for the Xenea blockchain.

EVM has become the de facto standard in the web3 world. Developers can easily build and expand applications using tools they are familiar with from other EVM-compatible networks. This interoperability allows developers to leverage Xenea's cutting-edge storage capabilities while maintaining a seamless development environment.

Furthermore, users can continue to use their familiar wallets, minimizing the effort required to transition to a new environment.

Decentralized Autonomous Content Storage (DACS)

DACS is an architecture designed to integrate distributed file systems onto a blockchain. IPFS and other hash-based file systems are linked onto the chain to create a persistent storage system. This allows NFT data to persist for very long periods of time.

The core technology of DACS is its proprietary data storage protocol, Sustainable Generation Manager (SGM), which has mechanisms for long-term data retention and loss prevention.

With SGM, data stored in storage at regular intervals is repeatedly replicated and relocated between storage devices like an amoeba. This continuous process ensures data persistence. In order to use storage efficiently, the original data is automatically deleted after each transfer.

For data requiring quick access, a mechanism called Fast Track Contents Manager (FASTD) is employed. This caches high-priority data on the DACS node for low-latency access.

We have also placed a milestone on developing our own hash file system by 2025. This system will evolve from the current read-only distributed storage to a new stage, providing functionality suitable for storing dynamic data. In doing so, our DACS will be uniquely positioned to meet diversifying storage needs and contribute to the development of the entire blockchain ecosystem.

Proof of Democracy (PoD)

With traditional blockchain networks, Proof of Work (PoW) and Proof of Stake (PoS) are used as consensus algorithms (civil resistance). However, PoW causes massive resource and energy consumption. PoS can reduce these consumption requirements, but has the disadvantage of lower security as the price of the native token on the chain decreases. These risks make value transfers insecure in the very long run.

Our proprietary technology, Proof of Democracy (PoD), eliminates the aforementioned problems of consensus algorithms and brings stable security to the chain in the very long term. Consensus formation with PoD is performed by Escrow nodes and Voting nodes (≈wallets). Voting nodes, randomly elected from Escrow nodes, vote on the validity of transactions, whereby transactions are approved when a true value reaches a specific threshold.

In order to participate in PoD, users must hold a Mining Passport NFT in their own wallets. We will distribute Mining Passport NFTs to as many users as possible through XENEA Wallet and various campaigns and partnerships to strengthen the security of the chain.

XENEA Products

XENEA Wallet

XENEA Wallet is the first product for users provided by the Xenea project.

It serves as a gateway to expand Xenea's ecosystem. By holding a mining passport NFT in XENEA Wallet, users can participate in mining through PoD and receive $XENE as rewards. PoD doesn't require collateral like PoS, and can be considered an opportunity for passive rewards in a sense. This leads to removing the barrier of preparing gas fees, which has typically been an obstacle in using public blockchains.

Moreover, XENEA Wallet eliminates the need for users to manage seed phrases or private keys, which has been common in traditional decentralized wallets. Fragments of divided private keys are stored dispersedly on network nodes, eliminating single points of failure for wallets. Users can also use familiar social logins.

This wallet will not only serve as the foundation for the Xenea project but also become an important step towards popularizing and expanding the adoption of blockchain technology.

Furthermore, XENEA Wallet updates the UX of conventional decentralized wallets. Users can log in with their commonly used social accounts and no longer need to manage seed phrases or private keys themselves. Instead, private keys are encrypted and divided into multiple fragments, which are then stored dispersedly on different nodes across the network. This eliminates single points of failure for wallets and improves security.

The core functions of the wallet are modularized, paving the way for future integration into various applications. This wallet will not only play a central role in the Xenea project but also be a significant step towards the widespread adoption and large-scale implementation of blockchain technology.

Xenea Token (XENE)

The native token of Xenea, $XENE, functions as the primary currency of the network. In addition to being used for transaction fees, it is also used as collateral to become a DACS node and for network governance.

The total supply of $XENE is 1,832,810,964 XENE. 1,201,658,964 XENE will be issued in the genesis block of the public network, and the remaining 631,152,000 XENE will be issued as block rewards through PoD mining. The amount of new $XENE issued through block rewards will account for 96.87% of the max supply in the first 10 years.

Summary

Xenea is a next-generation infrastructure providing innovative solutions to the challenges of digital asset management. By using PoD to consensus EVM-compatible layer 1 blockchains and integrating our proprietary DACS, we ensure data persistence and fair consensus building.

Our technology goes beyond current crypto assets and provides a robust foundation for storing any data. In particular, we are looking ahead to a future where tokenization of RWAs by NFTs will become commonplace, and we are building a mechanism to guarantee data and ownership consistency over the long term.

The XENEA Wallet combines ease of use with a high degree of security to facilitate the popularization of blockchain technology. By removing traditional barriers, more users can easily access blockchain technology.

Xenea uses an IEEE peer-reviewed scientific approach to its development. This allows us to build a reliable system with theoretical underpinnings and continuous innovation.

With an economic model centered around the $XENE token and a flexible design that can accommodate a wide variety of use cases, Xenea aims to become the new standard for digital asset management in the future. Through this project, we will maximize the potential of blockchain technology to help build a secure, efficient, and sustainable digital infrastructure.

More than just a technological innovation, Xenea will play a role in ensuring the security and permanence of digital assets and bridging humanity's vital information assets into the future. We will continue to develop these technologies and strive to realize a fairer and more sustainable digital society.
