Getting started

What is edeXa?+
edeXa is a hybrid blockchain platform built for businesses, governments and enterprises. It combines public and private blockchains to deliver scalable, secure and transparent solutions for process automation, data security and system integration.
How can I get started with edeXa?+
Developers can jump into the Testnet, deploy smart contracts and interact with our APIs. Businesses can contact us for tailored enterprise blockchain solutions, from supply chain to secure data exchange.
Can I build on the Testnet first?+
Yes. The edeXa Testnet is designed for experimentation. Request EDX Test Tokens from the faucet, build dApps and test your smart contracts before moving to Mainnet.
What wallets work with edeXa?+
edeXa Wallet is recommended. MetaMask and other Ethereum-compatible wallets also work by adding the edeXa RPC endpoints.

Building on edeXa (developers)

Can I build on edeXa with the tools I already use?+
Yes. edeXa is EVM-compatible, so you can write Solidity in Remix, Hardhat or Foundry, connect MetaMask to an edeXa RPC endpoint and deploy exactly the way you would on any EVM chain. Nothing new to learn to get your first contract live.
Do I have to worry about gas fees?+
No. Gas on edeXa is intentionally negligible compared to public L1s, so normal application activity does not become a cost problem. And when you do not want end users touching gas at all, you can run gasless: transactions are relayed for them.
How does gasless work on edeXa?+
Through the edeXa Relay used by EDX Connector. Your application submits the transaction, the relayer pays the network cost, and your user simply approves an action. No wallet funding, no token purchase, no seed-phrase onboarding friction. Start at edxconnector.edexa.network.
So what are the two ways to build?+
Path one is the classic Web3 path: EVM, Remix, Solidity, gas - familiar to every blockchain developer. Path two is the enterprise path: EDX Connector plus gasless relaying, so your users never see crypto at all. Same chain, same proofs, different experience.
Do my users need crypto or a wallet?+
Not with the gasless path. Users can sign in the way they already do in your product while edeXa handles keys, relaying and anchoring behind the scenes. If your audience is crypto-native, the standard wallet flow is fully supported too.
Where do I get RPC endpoints and test tokens?+
Testnet RPC details are in the developer docs, and EDX Test Tokens come from the faucet. Build and test on Testnet first, then repoint to Mainnet when you are ready - no code rewrite needed.
What can I build on edeXa?+
dApps, tokenized assets, verifiable document flows, audit trails, identity and credential systems, supply-chain traceability, DeFi primitives and connector plug-ins that push proofs from existing business software onto the chain.
Where does the developer documentation live?+
At edexa-business-blockchain.gitbook.io/edexa-docs - contract deployment, API references, SDKs, connector guides and relayer integration.

Private blockchain & your own ecosystem

Can a company run its own blockchain on edeXa?+
Yes. That is a core part of edeXa. You can operate your own permissioned network: you decide who joins, which nodes validate, what data stays internal and which proofs are published outward. It is your ecosystem, running on proven edeXa infrastructure instead of a research project.
Why choose a private blockchain instead of a public one?+
Because most enterprise data cannot be public. A private network gives you performance, confidentiality, governance and regulatory control, while still letting you anchor selected hashes publicly so external parties can verify without ever seeing the underlying data.
Do I lose public verifiability if I go private?+
No. This is the hybrid model: sensitive records stay inside your permissioned network, and cryptographic fingerprints can be anchored to the public chain. Auditors, courts, customers and regulators can verify authenticity without access to the content itself.
Can we self-host nodes?+
Yes. Larger organizations and government bodies can run their own nodes for full sovereignty over infrastructure and data residency, including deployments inside the EU or Switzerland.
How fast can a private network be running?+
Private networks are provisioned from a proven QBFT configuration rather than built from scratch, so you start from a working chain with validators, explorer visibility and API access, then layer your own contracts and connectors on top.
Can our private ecosystem include partners and suppliers?+
Yes. You can onboard partners, suppliers, subsidiaries or public authorities as members with scoped permissions, which is exactly how supply-chain traceability and multi-party approval workflows are built on edeXa.
Where can I read more about the private blockchain offering?+
See the Private Blockchain page at edexa.network/private-blockchain for architecture, control model and deployment options.

Solutions

What is Digital Assets on edeXa?+
Issuance and lifecycle management of on-chain assets: create, transfer, restrict and audit digital assets with programmable rules, so ownership and history are provable rather than claimed.
What does Tokenization cover?+
Representing real-world value - shares, receivables, certificates, credits, physical goods - as tokens with enforceable rules, transparent supply and a verifiable transfer history.
What is Digital Evidence used for?+
Anchoring files, communications and process records so their integrity and timing can be proven later. Widely relevant for law firms, compliance teams and any dispute where the question is what existed, and when.
What is an Immutable Audit Trail?+
An append-only record of who did what and when, anchored on-chain so it cannot be silently edited. It turns internal logs into evidence an external party can trust.
What does Document Verification do?+
It lets anyone confirm a document is authentic and unaltered, including inside Google Workspace through edeXa Verify & Certify, without exposing the document contents.
How is Electronic Signature different on edeXa?+
Signatures are anchored to the blockchain, so the signed document, the signers and the moment of signing remain independently verifiable years later - not just stored in one vendor's database.
What do you offer specifically for law firms?+
Digital evidence infrastructure: verifiable timestamps, tamper-evident case records and chain-of-custody trails designed for how legal work actually gets reviewed and challenged.

Technology & architecture

How does edeXa's hybrid blockchain work?+
edeXa combines permissioned private blockchains with public blockchain transparency. Sensitive data stays private while selected activity benefits from public-chain security, speed and auditability.
What's the difference between Public and Private Blockchains?+
Private blockchains offer high performance, privacy and control for businesses and governments. Public blockchains provide decentralized transparency for DeFi, NFTs and cryptocurrencies. edeXa blends both.
What makes edeXa's blockchain scalable?+
Our hybrid design lets us tune performance for enterprise needs while keeping transparent transactions. QBFT (Quorum Byzantine Fault Tolerance) delivers high throughput, security and fault tolerance.
How does edeXa ensure data integrity and security?+
Advanced cryptography protects data, decentralization removes single points of failure, and smart contracts enforce rules automatically without third parties.
What is the edeXa Universe?+
The edeXa Universe is the full enterprise ecosystem: public and private blockchains, self-hosted nodes for large organizations, and seamless API integrations.
What consensus mechanism does edeXa use?+
edeXa uses QBFT (Quorum Byzantine Fault Tolerance) for fast finality, security and reliability in enterprise-grade applications.

Security, privacy & compliance

Who controls my private keys?+
You do. edeXa is non-custodial. Your private keys are generated and stored in your wallet and never shared with edeXa or any third party.
Is my data and activity compliant with EU regulations?+
edeXa is designed with privacy-by-default principles and is based in Liechtenstein/Switzerland. We support GDPR-aligned data handling and provide tools to keep personal data off-chain where required.
Does AI have access to my private keys or personal data?+
No. AI features in the edeXa ecosystem operate on metadata, public on-chain signals or data you explicitly choose to share. Private keys and personal data are never exposed to AI systems.
How secure is the platform for enterprise use?+
edeXa uses advanced encryption, permissioned networks, decentralized node distribution and smart-contract automation. Enterprises can also run self-hosted nodes for full control.
Is edeXa only for signing?+
No. Signing is a small part of it. edeXa is a full Layer 1 business blockchain: you can deploy your own smart contracts in Remix, tokenize assets, run tokenization and digital-asset flows, anchor immutable audit trails, verify documents, issue digital identity credentials, trace supply chains, automate workflows through connectors - and if you need it, run your own private blockchain ecosystem with your own rules, members and data boundaries.

Integrations & connectors

What types of connectors can I use?+
edeXa offers APIs, SDKs and pre-built connectors for enterprise systems. The EDX Connector marketplace provides plug-ins for common business applications.
Can I integrate with legacy systems or existing enterprise software?+
Yes. edeXa's modular APIs and Smart Contract Automation tools let you connect blockchain capabilities to existing IT systems without replacing core infrastructure.
Can I embed edeXa features into my existing apps or platforms?+
Yes. Our APIs and SDKs let you embed signing, verification, tokenization and attestation features directly into your own applications.
Can multiple workflows run at the same time?+
Yes. edeXa supports parallel workflows, multi-party approvals and automated smart-contract triggers across departments or organizations.
How easy is it to approve actions or transactions?+
Approval flows are designed to feel native. Users can review, sign and approve via the edeXa Wallet, mobile-friendly interfaces or embedded widgets inside enterprise tools.
