Recently, MXC (Meta X Connect) announced a strategic investment from JDI Ventures, a DePIN investment fund under the renowned blockchain hardware manufacturer JDI Global, with this round of financing reaching up to $10 million. This announcement has received remarkable market performance.

Behind the MXC team, there is not only financial support, hardware development, and market influence from JDI Global but also technical expertise accumulated in the decentralized IoT space since its establishment in Berlin, Germany, in 2017.

The MXC team has already launched the first Layer3 zkEVM solution on Arbitrum, utilizing LPWAN technology and the MXProtocol, addressing the existing issues in low range and high power consumption, allowing for large-scale data sharing while ensuring end-to-end encryption and privacy. This solution, led by core members of the original zkSync team, aims to integrate Ethereum’s diverse dApp ecosystem and become the DePIN infrastructure of the Ethereum ecosystem.

As the concept of DePIN soars alongside Ethereum’s ecosystem, can MXC, as Ethereum’s DePIN infrastructure, successfully ride the wave and reap the benefits?

We believe that MXC has many advantages from market positioning to technical architecture and ecosystem construction.

1. Market Positioning: DePIN + Layer3

The DePIN concept is undoubtedly the most significant narrative attracting external funds in this bull market. However, there are different technical solutions for how DePIN can be implemented. From lightweight dApps to heavyweight proprietary chains, project teams must personally create a closed-loop business system, which requires high capabilities and high-quality resources. Consequently, which results in fierce competition.

However, MXC’s positioning is between the two, namely building a Layer3 serving DePIN projects in the Ethereum ecosystem, enabling DePIN projects to have scalability without the need to build a public chain and directly benefit from the thriving Ethereum ecosystem.

Although from a technical architecture perspective, Layer3 is similar to Layer2, it offers many advantages more suitable for DePIN than Layer2. For example, it provides better cross-chain interoperability, which is particularly important for DePIN projects, especially in integrating IoT technologies, as IoT devices and applications often need to exchange data across multiple platforms and networks.

Additionally, Layer3 can also support greater transaction throughput and further reduce network usage fees, ultimately bringing cost-effective transaction efficiency.

MXC’s solution through building Layer3 zkEVM on Arbitrum can address key challenges encountered when deploying blockchain for IoT applications, especially in increasing transaction throughput and reducing costs.

Industry estimates suggest that the output of the DePIN industry is expected to reach $3.5 trillion by 2028, and over the next decade, DePIN may add $10 trillion to global GDP, totaling $100 trillion in ten years.

MXC’s solution can support the ever-increasing volume of information flow generated by IoT devices continuously uploading data and make this information truly valuable within the Ethereum ecosystem.

2. Technical architecture: LPWAN + Layer3 + MXProtocol

a. LPWAN Technology

With the explosive growth of IoT devices, massive data will be generated, offering a wide range of services, which also brings challenges of high data demand and data processing.

The MXC team has adopted LPWAN technology, a communication technology designed specifically for low-power devices, capable of covering extensive geographic areas. It is highly suitable for applications requiring long battery life and extensive network coverage, such as parking spaces, garbage bins, streetlights, and other urban data. It ensures that this information is permanently open to all users for free.

The emergence of LPWAN fills the gap between wireless communication technologies in terms of low range and low power consumption. It can simultaneously achieve wide-area coverage and low-energy communication, effectively collecting and transmitting sensor data from various corners of the city.

This data subsequently flows within the MXC platform, providing comprehensive operational services for governments, businesses, and citizens, thereby promoting the development of various application scenarios such as smart cities, smart agriculture, and asset tracking.

1. Layer3 zkEVM

Based on the innovation of Arbitrum Orbit, MXC’s Layer3 zkEVM built on Arbitrum provides powerful technical support for large-scale IoT platforms to enter the blockchain.

Specifically, it integrates Ethereum’s rich dApp ecosystem and significantly enhances network scalability, security, and efficiency through zkEVM technology. It also enhances user privacy protection and encourages developers to build dedicated DePIN Layer3 and DePIN dApps.

Furthermore, MXC’s token serves as the gas token for network transactions, laying the most basic utility, enhancing the value and utility of the MXC token.

1. MXProtocol

As mentioned earlier, the explosive growth of IoT devices will generate a massive flow of information, and DePIN can make this information truly valuable.

MXC utilizes LPWAN technology to generate a huge amount of IoT information and has built MXProtocol on Layer3 zkEVM, allowing device data to be truly monetized.

MXProtocol relies on the “Proof of Participation” consensus mechanism to ensure the continuity and reliability of the LPWAN network. It also allows users to easily manage the health status of mining machines through the AXS App, further expanding the application scope of MXProtocol, including but not limited to supporting M2 Pro mining machines to mine tokens and providing a platform for data trading for various IoT devices and applications.

The ultimate goal of the M2 Pro mining machine, developed by MXC Foundation as an LPWAN device, is to provide a decentralized IoT network for everyone. The M2 Pro mining machine is equipped with a high-performance NXP Arm Cortex-A7 CPU, 256MB DDR3 RAM, and 256MB NAND FLASH storage, as well as dual SX1303 chip LoRa radios supporting multi-region frequencies and various internal sensors. In addition, the mining model of the M2 Pro mining machine has been fully transitioned to a blockchain-based mining protocol, ensuring the transparency and fairness of the mining process. Users can mine based on the filling level of the fuel tank (xMXC), with estimated daily profits ranging from $10 to $12. Through its Proof of Participation (PoP) model and on-chain mining protocol, MXC provides a decentralized and efficient mining platform for IoT devices and data communication.

Furthermore, MXC provides a fully customizable Web3 wallet through the AXS App, supporting users to manage data mining machines, monitor performance, mine, stake, and trade various cryptocurrencies and data tokens, and even support functional NFTs (F-NFTs).

The AXS App also supports bridging MXC tokens from the Ethereum mainnet to the MXC zkEVM mainnet, providing the fastest bridging experience from Layer1 to Layer3 in the Web3 ecosystem.

Summary

MXC’s adoption of LPWAN technology can support the generation and transmission of massive data.

MXC’s Layer3 zkEVM built on Arbitrum provides powerful technical support for large-scale IoT and can integrate Ethereum’s rich dApp ecosystem.
