# Welcome 👋
## About
The **X-Cash Foundation is an open-source, no-ICO blockchain project** launched in 2018 developing a privacy centered cryptocurrency inheriting from Monero and bringing new innovation in the privacy coin space.
X-Cash main features are:
* **FlexPrivacy - Private and public transactions on the same blockchain**\
Private by default, X-Cash's FlexPrivacy lets the user decide if he/she wants the transaction to be made public.
* **Delegated-Proof-of-Private-Stake - X-Cash custom consensus designed for privacy coins**\
X-Cash consensus model gets rid of the decentralized yet unsustainable PoW consensus to propose its own variation of a DPoS with DBFT consensus.
* **Sidechains - The next step in blockchain hosting**\
X-Cash will make it easy to create and host your own blockchain, while being able to profit from X-Cash's unique features.
The document was written and aggregated by the X-Cash Foundation, the X-Cash development team and contributors. If you would like to learn more about contributing please the visit our [Github](https://github.com/X-CASH-official/) organization.
