What is Blocknet?

Blocknet is an open-source interoperability and decentralized trading network. It connects independent blockchains while users retain control of their wallets and projects provide services through a distributed node layer.

ASSET CONNECTION

Coin Representatives

Maintain compatible wallets and configurations so projects and trading pairs remain available across the network.

DECENTRALIZED HOSTING

Service Nodes

Host blockchain wallets and provide XBridge, XRouter and XCloud services while earning network fees.

Why BLOCK matters: BLOCK fuels protocol fees and secures the network through staking and Service Node collateral. Each Block DX taker action currently costs 0.015 BLOCK plus the sold asset's native network fee; the trade fee is paid to a randomly selected Service Node that supports both chains. Staking nodes earn block rewards, while Service Nodes earn fees from the services they operate.
