XDC Network

XDC Network v2.6.8 “Cancun” Hard Fork Successfully Activated at Block 98,800,200. The network is operating normally, with upgraded nodes in consensus and block production continuing as expected. Our protocol and engineering teams are actively monitoring the network to ensure stability, performance, and smooth post-upgrade operations. This upgrade strengthens XDC’s core infrastructure with: • Improved EVM performance and efficiency • Enhanced protocol stability and compatibility • A stronger foundation for RWAs, trade finance, cross-border payments, and scalable dApps 🙏 Thank you to all node operators who upgraded on time. Your proactive coordination ensured a smooth and successful network upgrade. Note: Nodes still running on versions below v2.6.8 will be stuck at Block 98,800,199 and will not sync or produce blocks until upgraded.

Discussions focused on regulatory frameworks, trading infrastructure, liquidity models, and yield-bearing tokenization as real-world assets continue transitioning into institutional capital markets. ____________________________ Upcoming Events - March 2026 XDC Network teams will be present at major global finance and digital asset events throughout March 2026, including forums in Zürich, Rio de Janeiro, and New York. These engagements create opportunities to connect with institutions, regulators, and ecosystem partners shaping the future of payments, tokenization, and enterprise blockchain adoption.

XDC Network at the RWA & Stablecoins London Summit 2026 XDC Network was proud to join global financial leaders including: BlackRock, State Street, Fidelity, Franklin Templeton, JPMorgan, Citi, Barclays, DTCC, Mastercard, LSEG, Flow Traders, GSR, Ondo and more. Across policy, trading infrastructure, liquidity frameworks, and yield-bearing tokenization, discussions reflected a clear shift: Real-world asset tokenization is moving firmly into institutional capital markets. XDC Network’s leadership team contributed to key panels covering: • Digital asset regulatory frameworks • Market microstructure for tokenised assets • Institutional liquidity and secondary markets • Tokenized yield instruments As adoption accelerates, infrastructure, interoperability, and compliance remain central. XDC Network continues to focus on building blockchain rails designed for global finance. Great to engage with leaders from global institutions including asset managers, trading firms, exchanges, and regulatory bodies on the future of RWAs and stablecoins. Thank you to the organizers, fellow panelists, partners, and attendees for the meaningful discussions and collaboration.
