Getting Started with Vexidus

Vexidus is a next-generation Layer 1 blockchain built from the ground up to solve real problems: quantum vulnerability, cross-chain fragmentation, developer complexity, and bridge security. It runs a live 3-validator testnet that has processed over 936,000 transactions with zero crashes and zero manual restarts.

The Seven Pillars

Vexidus is built on seven pillars that work together as a unified system:

1. IntentVM (Patent-Pending) -- 1 intent, 1 signature, N operations. Declarative execution.
2. HyperSync Consensus -- Leader rotation with weighted selection, jailing, and reputation scoring.
3. VexBridge (Patent-Pending) -- Vaultless canonical token bridge using burn-and-mint and stateless/limbo resolution.
4. VSA v2 -- Smart accounts with Ed25519 + Dilithium3 dual-signature quantum hardening. Includes VNS (.vex name service).
5. VexForge -- Seven token standards (VSC-7, VSC-8, VSC-21, VSC-55, VSC-88, VSC-LAUNCH, VSC-REP) with protocol-level anti-rug protection and on-chain governance.
6. VexiDEX -- Native on-chain AMM with constant-product pools and LP token management.
7. ElasticState -- Intelligent 3-tier storage engine (Hot/Warm/Cold) with automatic data lifecycle management.

Current Status

• Network: Live 3-validator testnet with leader rotation, block production active (12s intervals)
• Performance: 936K transactions processed, 100% success at 500 TPS sustained, zero crashes
• Codebase: 15 Rust crates, 84+ RPC endpoints, 182 passing tests
• Frontends: 5 deployed applications (wallet, explorer, token studio, DEX, faucet)

Important: Vexidus is NOT Ethereum

Vexidus is its own L1 blockchain that is Ethereum-compatible. Key differences:

• Native addresses use the Vx prefix, not 0x. The Vx format is canonical for user-facing addresses.
• 0x only exists for EVM compatibility (MetaMask, eth_* RPC methods) and internal 32-byte system addresses.
• Signature scheme: Ed25519 (not secp256k1/ECDSA)
• Decimals: VXS has 9 decimals (not 18 like ETH)
• Transaction model: Atomic bundles (multiple operations per signature), not single operations
