Welcome to x42 Protocol's xServer wiki page.

This page is dedicated to introducing, explaining the function, features and implementation of xServers in the xServer network. This wiki is ever evolving and all users are invited to take part in making it better, you can do so by adding a new issue under the 'Wiki Updates' label here: https://github.com/x42protocol/xServer/issues

The x42 blockchain allows for the support of several types of server. The xServer is a special type of wallet that runs on dedicated hardware to allow for the decentralization of applications (DApps), processing, data storage and validation. xServers runs not only those types of processes, it will also support the network by signing transactions, propagating network information and allowing for the server owner to both get paid and pay for hosting applications of the most diverse types. xServers are divided in three tiers, from one to three, and those all work side by side to decentralize applications the xServer network so they can be used by xCore clients.

xServer - Tier I This is the most common type of xServer, as it is the easiest one to acquire. Tier I xServer requires one thousand coins (1000 x42) to be locked on a cold wallet on the main blockchain. Along with the xCore wallet, this is the backbone of the entire x42 protocol blockchain, it is the most widespread type of xServer, and likely the tier that puts out the largest amount of processing power.

Capabilities of the Tier I xServer:

1. Cold Staking via the delegation system (xCore)
2. Hosting of decentralized applications
3. Hosting of side blockchains
4. More voting power inside the network when compared to the xCore wallet
5. Ability to test new features before they are implemented into the xCore wallet
6. Processes smart contracts (TBI)

xServer - Tier II The Tier II xServer requires twenty thousand coins to be locked (20,000 x42) on the main blockchain. This xServer provides several very useful types of services to the entire network, allowing even mobile users to use the provided servers if they pay a small fee to the service provider.

Capabilities of the Tier II xServer:

1. All capabilities of the Tier I xServer, including staking
2. Has more voting power than a Tier I
3. Allows for the network creation for xProfiles
4. Instant transactions (TBI)

xServer - Tier III The Tier III xServer requires one hundred thousand coins (100,000 x42) to be sent to the delegated wallet, a portion of those coins will be able to stake, the rest will be used to tumble funds from users. This type of xServer provides a unique and useful service to the network: anonymous instant transactions. This service will have a fee determined by the xServer owner and will allow every type of wallet to make anonymous transactions by just checking the ‘Private Transaction’ option.

Capabilities of the Tier III xServer:

1. All capabilities of the Tier I xServer, including being able to stake a portion of its funds
2. Has more network voting power than a Tier II
3. Instant and private transactions
4. Atomic swaps will be eventually added to T3 xServer (TBI)

The complete xServer network allows all users to use a Blockchain DApp Store that allows for the download, upload, rating and maintain all decentralized applications installed on your xServers and xCore wallets. It is fairly similar to the Google Play or Apple Store to allow for ease of use.
