Context

X1 EcoChain is an EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain that uses a Proof-of-Authority (PoA) consensus model.

Key Features:

• EVM-compatible execution environment with support for Solidity smart contracts
• Validator-based PoA consensus associated with X1Nodes
• RPC access and developer tooling for contract deployment and network integration

The mainnet is targeted for Q2 2026.

Proposal

Enable Symbiosis-based bridging between Ethereum and X1 EcoChain for the following assets:

• USDC.Ethereum ↔ USDC.X1EcoChain
• USDT.Ethereum ↔ USDT.X1EcoChain
• wETH.Ethereum ↔ wETH.X1EcoChain The implementation will include the following steps:
• Deploy and configure Symbiosis bridging contracts on X1 EcoChain and Ethereum
• Enabling wrapping and unwrapping flows for USDC, USDT, and wETH between the two networks
• Activating the Symbiosis Relayers Network to work with the new blockchain

Key Points

• Enabling bridging for X1 EcoChain may help Symbiosis establish presence in the ecosystem ahead of broader network expansion
• As a general-purpose EVM Layer 1, X1 EcoChain may attract applications and users over time, potentially creating additional demand for cross-chain connectivity
• EVM compatibility may simplify integration and ongoing support
