REAL-WORLD ASSETS

Real assets.
Digital possibilities.

Explore how assets and trade instruments can be represented on-chain, with programmable ownership and transfer rules.

FAMILIAR TOOLS. A NEW NETWORK.

Your first connection
starts here.

Write Solidity. Use Ethereum-compatible tools. Test your integration on Apothem before deploying to mainnet.

  1. 01Choose a compatible wallet
  2. 02Get Apothem test tokens
  3. 03Follow the developer docs
Developer hub
CONNECT TO XDC
NetworkXDC Apothem
Chain ID51
CurrencyTXDC (test)
RPC endpointhttps://rpc.apothem.network

1. Copy and run

Use a Bash-compatible terminal with curl installed. This read-only request needs no wallet or test tokens.

curl --silent --show-error --max-time 15 --request POST 'https://rpc.apothem.network' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_chainId","params":[],"id":1}'

Choose a network, then copy its command.

2. Check the response

Expected example for Apothem:

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "result": "0x33"
}

0x33 is chain ID 51 in hexadecimal. A matching result means the endpoint reports Apothem; it does not measure network health.

No response or a different result? Confirm the endpoint above, then open the manual RPC checker and set its expected network to Apothem.

All frequently asked questions
What is XDC Network?+

XDC is an EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain focused on real-world assets, trade finance and payments. Its public network is complemented by enterprise subnet tooling.

Can I use my Ethereum development tools?+

XDC supports Solidity and Ethereum-compatible tooling. Start with the developer documentation and test your integration on Apothem before deploying to mainnet.

How do I start as a new user?+

Choose a supported wallet, review the risks and explore applications in the ecosystem directory. Provider availability and terms vary by location.

How do client diversity and quantum research differ?+

Client diversity addresses shared implementation risks. Post-quantum research addresses future cryptographic risks. Each effort has its own validation and adoption milestones.
