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 International.

The co-founder is the CEO of Beldex known as Kim, who has extensive experience in privacy systems and cryptographic protocols. The core team of the project consists of Codeman-Crypto (cc) (the CTO of Beldex), Ziau (the CMO of Beldex), and Sanada Yukimura (the blockchain architect at Beldex).

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 disguises addresses of senders/recipients and other details of transactions, including the transfer amount. Due to RingCT, ring signatures and the hashing algorithm, CryptoNight, 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 is already integrated with BNB Smart Chain.

In order to curb inflation of the BDX token, Beldex applies a coin burn mechanism, which also involves Flash transactions performed on the second layer of the blockchain. Beldex offers its users a set of dApps with a focus on confidentiality, decentralized products include an anonymous private messenger - BChat, a private P2P VPN - BelNet, and a private Beldex Browser.

Beldex is a privacy-based ecosystem that has inbuilt security features. The technology anonymizes transactions, addresses, data transfers, messages and online traces.

Beldex (BDX) was designed as a fork of Monero (XMR) with the integration of the Dash (DASH) privacy protocol - PrivateSend, the Zcash (ZEC) privacy feature - ViewKey, and its own custom privacy technology. In December 2021, the Beldex blockchain moved from a Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus mechanism to Proof-of-Stake (PoS) to address scalability issues.

Currently, Beldex operates on the basis of the CryptoNight algorithm (developed within the CryptoNote protocol) with masternodes that are a significant contribution to functionality and scalability. Masternodes store copies of the blockchain, confirm transactions, and ensure network security. The fundamental part of masternodes are community members, so as the number grows, the Beldex reliability indicators also increase.

You can buy BDX on several crypto exchange platforms, some of which are: KuCoin, Gate.io, MEXC, Coinsbit, KoinBX, Hotbit and HitBTC.
