Republic is pleased to announce that it is now an institutional validator on XDC Network, operating masternodes that help secure and validate transactions on an enterprise-grade blockchain designed for global trade and finance.
Why Republic chose XDC Network
XDC Network is an enterprise-ready, open-source blockchain built for international trade and financial applications. Its hybrid architecture supports scalable, real-world use cases across global markets.
Several compelling reasons for Republic’s choice include XDC Network’s support for real-world asset (RWA) tokenisation, its infrastructure for cross-border settlement and trade finance, the layer one blockchain’s compatibility with institutional-grade decentralised applications and a vibrant ecosystem spanning trade finance, stablecoins, and digital assets.
Republic as a Validator
As a validator, Republic will operate masternodes that participate in securing the XDC Network and validating its onchain transactions.
This extends Republic’s infrastructure involvement in digital assets by supporting the underlying systems that power real-world financial applications on-chain.
“XDC is one of the few blockchain networks where the use cases are not theoretical, they are live, scaled, and institutionally backed. The trade finance track record, the validator set, the real-world asset pipeline. For Republic, joining at the infrastructure level is a statement about where we see the digital asset economy heading, and the kind of infrastructure we want backing that conviction,” said Jeffrey Vier, Head of Tokenization at Republic.
Added Shanlong James Chen, Head of Strategic Investments, XVC Tech, the Venture Capital arm of XDC Network, who oversees the blockchain’s Institutional Validator Program,
“Each additional institutional validator improves the robustness of our layer 1 protocol as well as correspondingly increases credibility and confidence in the network. This announcement at Consensus Miami is well timed. We will be unveiling more US validators in the coming weeks as XDC increases its North American footprint.”
Republic joins institutional masternode validators including HashKey Cloud and UOB Venture Management, that have been onboarded onto the XDC ecosystem in recent months.
Looking Ahead
Republic’s participation as a masternode validator reflects its continued engagement with infrastructure supporting the convergence of traditional finance and blockchain-based markets.
As XDC Network expands its institutional ecosystem, Republic looks forward to supporting its ongoing development and network resilience.
