# edeXa EDX COIN

edeXa Coin (EDX): Powering the Network Economy

**EDX** is the native utility of the **edeXa Layer 1 Hybrid Blockchain**. It’s the fuel that powers transactions, secures the network, and unlocks the full potential of decentralized enterprise infrastructure.

Every action on the edeXa network from simple transfers to executing complex smart contracts consumes EDX. 

#### 🔢 Max Supply

**10,000,000,000 EDX** (fixed)

***

#### ⚙️ Core Functions of EDX

* **Transaction Fees**: EDX is required to send transactions and deploy smart contracts.
* **Computation Costs**: It powers execution of on-chain logic and automation.
* **Validator Incentives**: Validators are rewarded in EDX for securing the network via QBFT consensus.
* **Treasury Allocation**: EDX funds ecosystem growth and development through a transparent treasury mechanism.

***

#### 🌉 Cross-Chain & Ecosystem Utility

Beyond its role on edeXa’s core network, EDX is designed with **multi-chain operability** in mind:

* Can be bridged to major ecosystems (Ethereum, Polygon, BNB) via [edeXa Bridge](https://edxconnect.edexa.network).
* Plays a role in **cross-chain fees** and interoperability.
* Will be accepted across edeXa-powered dApps, both internal and partner-built.

***

#### 🗳️ Future Governance & Rewards

As edeXa continues to grow, **holding EDX** will provide the opportunity to earn **rewards** for active participation and contribution to the network:

* **Validator Rewards**: Validators earn EDX for securing the network via QBFT consensus.
* **Governance Participation**: Propose and vote on ecosystem changes, treasury initiatives, and protocol upgrades.
* **Ecosystem Growth**: Receive rewards as part of edeXa’s ongoing incentive programs to foster development and adoption.
* **Transaction Discounts**: Holders of EDX can benefit from reduced fees on enterprise and cross-chain operations.

#### 📂 **Technical Details & Repository**

The **edeXa ERC-20 Token** is implemented in Solidity and follows the widely-used **ERC-20 standard** for seamless integration with wallets, exchanges, and other smart contracts.

**Explore the full smart contract source code** and related resources on our GitHub repository:

[**edeXa Token GitHub Repository**](https://github.com/devEdexa/edexa-token)

***

#### 💡 Token Usage

The **EDX token** serves various critical functions within the **edeXa ecosystem**, including:

* **Reward System**: Businesses in the **edeXa Business Blockchain** network can earn EDX for securing the **edeXa Public Blockchain** using the **Proof of Authority (PoA)** consensus mechanism.
* **Utility in dApps**: Use EDX for accessing, interacting with, and transacting within edeXa-powered decentralized applications (dApps).

***

**EDX is the connective tissue of the edeXa Universe**, binding together smart contracts, cross-chain flows, validator incentives, and governance under a single, secure, and enterprise-ready digital asset.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://edexa-business-blockchain.gitbook.io/edexa-docs/basics/edx.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
