Chain Overview

XYZ Chain specifications and configuration

Chain Overview

XYZ Chain is a Proof of Stake blockchain with WASM smart contract support.

Chain Identity

Property	Value
Chain ID	xyz-1
Binary Name	xyzd
Address Prefix	xyz
Validator Prefix	xyzvaloper
Consensus Prefix	xyzvalcons

Token Denomination

Property	Value
Base Denomination	uxyz
Display Denomination	XYZ
Decimals	6
Conversion	1 XYZ = 1,000,000 uxyz

Examples

1 XYZ        = 1,000,000 uxyz
0.5 XYZ      = 500,000 uxyz
0.000001 XYZ = 1 uxyz

All on-chain amounts are in uxyz (micro XYZ). The CLI automatically displays amounts in XYZ for readability.

Consensus

XYZ Chain uses Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT) consensus.

Property	Value
Block Time	~6 seconds
Finality	Instant (1 block)
Validators	Up to 100
BFT Threshold	2/3

Genesis Configuration

Initial Accounts

The genesis file includes three pre-configured accounts for development:

Account	Balance	Purpose
alice	1,000,000 XYZ	Development, initial validator
bob	500,000 XYZ	Faucet account
treasury	100,000,000 XYZ	Future validator rewards

Genesis Balances

{
  "accounts": [
    {
      "name": "alice",
      "coins": ["1000000000000uxyz"]
    },

Running a Node

Full Node

# Initialize node
xyzd init my-node --chain-id xyz-1

# Get genesis from an existing validator
# Contact the team for the genesis file

# Start node
xyzd start

Validator Node

Running a validator requires careful security practices. See our Validator Guide for details.

# Create validator (after syncing)
xyzd tx staking create-validator \
  --amount=1000000uxyz \
  --pubkey=$(xyzd tendermint show-validator) \
  --moniker="my-validator" \
  --commission-rate="0.10" \
  --commission-max-rate="0.20" \
  --commission-max-change-rate="0.01" \
  --min-self-delegation="1" \
  --from=my-key \
  --chain-id=xyz-testnet-1

Smart Contracts

XYZ Chain supports WASM smart contracts through the x/wasm module.

Supported Standards

Standard	Description
CW20	Fungible tokens (like ERC-20/SPL)
CW721	Non-fungible tokens (like ERC-721)
CW1	Proxy contracts
CW3	Multisig contracts

Contract Limits

Limit	Value
Max Contract Size	800 KB
Max Gas Per Block	75,000,000
Gas Multiplier	100x
