What Is Beldex (BDX)?
Beldex is a privacy-focused ecosystem of decentralized applications (dApps). The concept of the project was developed in 2018, and launched in the same year. The Beldex project is committed to enhancing user data protection and their confidentiality online. BDX is an ecosystem coin that facilitates confidential transactions.
Beldex's mission is to provide a privacy-enhanced environment where data can be exchanged securely. The project is focused on individual safety and true data confidentiality with systematic research to ensure the privacy of individual transactions, and thus the safety of users and the security of their funds.
BDX operates on the Beldex decentralized blockchain for performing secure and anonymous peer-to-peer (P2P) transactions, while the ecosystem supports secure and confidential dApps, among them: BChat, BelNet, Beldex Browser, the Beldex protocol, and the Beldex bridge. Initially, Beldex was developed on a PoW architecture followed by a transition to the PoS consensus model in order to increase the scalability of the BDX token, lower fees and reduce transaction times.
Who Are the Founders of Beldex?
Beldex was launched in March 2018. The company is led by Afanddy B. Hushni, an investor and crypto economist with 20 years of experience in traditional finance. Hushni is the founder and chairman of Beldex.
The co-founder is the CEO of Beldex, Mr. Kim, who has extensive experience in working with confidential systems and cryptographic protocols. The core team of the project consists of Codeman-Crypto (cc) (the CTO of Beldex), Sam (the CMO of Beldex), and Sanada Yukimura (the blockchain architect at Beldex who designed a major chunk of the network).
What Makes Beldex (BDX) Unique?
Beldex solves some of the privacy and anonymity issues in the crypto space through its features. The RingCT protocol is responsible for the confidentiality of transactions, which masks sender information while stealth addresses mask the original address of the sender/recipient. Beldex also masks other details of transactions, including the transfer amount. With Ring signatures, confidential transactions and a robust consensus algorithm, network transactions are almost impossible to trace.
To launch a masternode on the network and validate transactions on the proof-of-stake (PoS) Beldex blockchain, a user will need 10,000 BDX. By fulfilling this condition, a user acquires the right to stake BDX and verify transactions.
The ecosystem supports cross-chain anonymity and interoperability through the Beldex bridge, which bridges to the BNB Smart Chain.
In order to curb inflation of the BDX token, Beldex applies a coin burn mechanism, which burns fees from Flash transactions performed on the network. The burn mechanism also includes the BNS fees burn, which is the fees paid by users to acquire BNS names and domains. BNS names & domains are confidential, decentralized domains on the Beldex network.
Beldex offers its users a set of dApps with a focus on privacy, decentralized products that include an anonymous confidential messenger - BChat, a confidential P2P VPN - BelNet, and the confidentiality-focus Beldex Browser.
How Many Beldex (BDX) Coins Are There in Circulation?
Beldex has a max supply of 9,900,000,000 BDX with 6,679,667,729 BDX in circulation at the time of writing. The most recent BDX tokenomics is as follows:
Ecosystem Development Wallet — 26.80%; Circulation - 67.21%; Seed & VC Funds - 2.16%; Marketing Funds - 0.17%; Team - 3.33%
How Is the Beldex Network Secured?
Beldex is a privacy-focused ecosystem that has inbuilt security features. The technology anonymizes transactions, addresses, data transfers, messages and online traces.
Beldex (BDX) was designed using technologies that protect user data confidentiality. In December 2021, the Beldex blockchain moved from a Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus mechanism to Proof-of-Stake (PoS) to address scalability of the network going forward.
Currently, Beldex operates on a POS consensus algorithm that utilizes masternodes. This architecture significantly contributes to the functionality and scalability of the network. Masternodes store historical copies of the blockchain, confirm transactions, and ensure network security. The basis of masternodes are the Beldex community members. As the number of masternodes grows, the Beldex reliability indicators also increase.
