Using XChains Protocol

XChains offers a suite of decentralized and permissionless services:

  1. Swapping cross-chain between assets, ex. from BTC (on the Bitcoin blockchain) to ETH (on the Ethereum blockchain).

  2. Bridging an asset on chain X to chain Y. Ex. bridge or transfer ETH on Ethereum blockchain to Arbitrum blockchain.

  3. Private Liquidity Pools (PLPs): Staking assets to your own private pool to provide liquidity for the protocol.

  4. Shared Liquidity Pools (SLPs): Staking assets to shared pools to provide liquidity for the protocol.

For all the above services, users do not need to hold (or even be aware of) the token (the native protocol token). They just need to choose from a supported User Interface (Wallets and Exchanges) to interact with XChains Protocol. For instructions, troubleshooting and support, please contact the respective User Interfaces support channels.

Utilizing 9CP Token

The token is the native asset on XChains’ own sovereign blockchain. Users who want to hold 9CP, stake it to their own private pool, and will need a wallet which can hold 9CP.

Users can swap for 9CP, from XChains Protocol directly, using any of the endorsed Wallets or Exchanges;
