General FAQs
A hyper-capable network, XTblock will deliver not only a high-performance blockchain, but also the ability to decentralise artificial intelligence and bot computing. Therefore a powerful blockchain that will address the issues of low speed, high latency and limited scalability is only one of its use cases. It’s applicability goes far beyond.
As you will see in our roadmap and business model (available on this website), we are currently developing various scientific and commercial use cases to demonstrate the performance and real-world viability of this hyper-capable network. In short, the XTblock network will be applicable to every industry.
Some key milestones in the pipeline, that are intended to prove these capabilities, are various applications within the realm of decentralised finance [DeFi], decentralised AI, decentralised live video streaming, an NFT marketplace, crypto market analysis bots, crypto trading bots, and much more.
No – our platform is not based on another blockchain. It is a hyper-capable network with a super-computer architecture that will enable a high-performance blockchain, decentralised AI and bot computing, as well as potentially other significant use cases.
Mainstream blockchain adoption is low due to various factors, but we will mention two big ones in a nutshell:
Performance: Current blockchains are limited in terms of performance and not easily scalable to meet the needs of developers or enterprises.
High cost related to: Development of decentralised applications (dApps); hiring systems administrators; CapEx for expensive network infrastructure.
At the core of our tech, time-sharding is our uniquely powerful enhancement to network architecture that enables true scalability, low latency and high transaction speeds. Combined with the technique of time-sharing, it sets the stage for a whole new dimension of capability across blockchain and beyond.
Importantly, we are also powerfully enabling Distributed Bot Computing and Distributed AI Computing.
Low cost:
Our unique subscription model utilises network infrastructure from various partners. These subscriptions make access to our network very affordable. Moreover, our Platform Terminal removes the need for an expensive system administrator or team.
Performance:
XTblock’s scalability, speed and low latency give it an unfair advantage. Thanks to its supercomputer architecture, developers and enterprises can simply subscribe for higher speeds (transactions per second or TPS), or drop to lower speeds, with only a few clicks in our Platform Terminal app – without the need to reconfigure the entire network.
Quick, simple, fast:
The Platform Terminal app does away with the need for complex network configuration as seen with other platforms; dApp developers will want to (and love to) use it, because it makes editing easier, simpler and faster – a big difference from what they are currently used to.
Decentralised Bot Computing:
We are also focused on empowering specialised bots by allowing them to access the massive computational capabilities of our network.
XTblock will enable bots to compute with large data volumes by leveraging its considerable computing power using, potentially, hundreds or thousands of nodes on the decentralised network. This will allow the bots to execute even complex tasks in parallel, and in a timely manner.
This also applies to blockchain oracles, which will be able to take both on-chain and off-chain information to process it on XTblock.
Decentralised AI Computing:
Today, blockchain infrastructure is huge and uses high-performance computers (CPU/ GPU/ RAM/ Storage/ Network) which are also good for algebraic calculations and fit for computing requirements for AI; however, existing blockchain implementations only use blockchain nodes and networks for the simple purpose of block verification.
XTblock’s core premise is that the same architecture, miners and infrastructure can be used for AI computing services, like distributed problem solving (DPS), federated training and distributed functioning. This is called Distributed Artificial Intelligence or dAI for short.
So, rather than use blockchain nodes and networks for the simple purpose of block verification, which is a colossal waste of computing power, we present cutting-edge possibilities in AI through the creation of a new type of distributed architecture that runs on our hyper-capable network. It is the intersection of two technologies that are individually revolutionary, but which can change the course of business, industry and the world at large.
By solving the problems of scalability and performance, XTblock aims to realise this vision for Distributed Artificial Intelligence in a manner that is truly viable.
Stress testing (sometimes called torture testing) is a form of deliberately intense or thorough testing used to determine the stability of a given system. It involves testing beyond normal operational capacity, often to a breaking point, in order to observe the results. XTblock passed such a stress test for its network architecture in 2020.

Because XTblock is a hyper-capable network that can also be used to create a high-performance blockchain, it has the potential to replace legacy IT systems,. But supercharging blockchain, it can also take it into the mainstream for all industries. But very importantly, its capabilities also extend to Decentralised Bot and AI computing. Therefore, the industries it can have a transformational impact on include Banking, Financial Services, Insurance, Healthcare, the Government Sector, Energy, Telecoms, Media, Entertainment… the list is virtually endless.
