Company profile
researched Aug 2026XPLA is an open-source layer-1 blockchain, referred to in its documentation as CONX Chain, that hosts decentralized applications and developer tooling. The chain is built on the Cosmos SDK with Tendermint Byzantine Fault Tolerant consensus, supports inter-blockchain communication (IBC) for connectivity with other Cosmos chains, and offers Ethereum Virtual Machine compatibility. Its tooling includes a chain SDK aimed at game developers and XPLA Vault, a staking and wallet interface. XPLA is the network's native token, used for governance and staking.
The network operates under proof-of-stake, with the top 130 validators by bonded stake participating in consensus. Validators run full nodes, propose and vote on blocks, and share transaction-fee rewards with delegators who bond tokens to them. Bonded tokens pass through unbonded, bonded and unbonding phases, with a 21-day unbonding period; redelegation between validators is possible without waiting, though the receiving validator is then barred from further redelegation for 21 days. Inflation-based minting is set at 0% per year, so staking rewards derive from gas fees.
As of late 2025 the project is transitioning its token name, symbol and chain brand identity from XPLA to CONX, positioning itself around connecting global finance (stablecoin-based payments and remittances within a regulation-aligned framework), real-world assets via RWA/STO frameworks, and an AI-generated-content ecosystem intended to attribute and reward original creators.
Business model
XPLA operates a public proof-of-stake blockchain network whose native token, XPLA, is used for staking and governance. Network activity is paid for in gas fees, which are distributed to validators and delegators as staking rewards; annual inflation minting is fixed at 0%, so rewards come from transaction fees rather than new issuance.
Latest developments
On 2 November 2025 the team proposed renaming the XPLA token, its symbol and the chain's brand identity to CONX, framed as a strategic repositioning toward a "Mainnet of Trust" combining technology and finance. The proposal officially passed on 10 November 2025, with the network adopting the CONX identity and a stated focus on connecting value across culture, finance and technology.

Market position
XPLA was built by mobile game publisher Com2uS and has been described in trade press as a blockchain gaming platform aiming to become a leading chain for gamers, providing services such as wallets and explorers plus design and technical support for developers. With the CONX transition it is repositioning as a trust-based mainnet spanning cultural content, finance and technology.
The chain combines Cosmos SDK/Tendermint architecture and IBC interoperability with EVM compatibility and a developer kit aimed specifically at game studios, and it pairs on-chain infrastructure with wallet and explorer services plus design and technical support for partners. Staking rewards are funded entirely by gas fees rather than inflation, which is fixed at 0%.
Technology
The chain is an open-source blockchain based on Tendermint BFT consensus and the Cosmos SDK, with IBC connectivity to other chains and Ethereum Virtual Machine compatibility. It provides a chain SDK targeted at game developers and XPLA Vault for staking, delegation, undelegation and redelegation. Consensus is limited to the top 130 validators by bonded stake, and the unbonding period is 21 days. Public repositories include the chain core implementation, a JavaScript SDK (xpla.js), mainnet and testnet genesis and configuration files, a wallet provider and a vault browser extension, alongside forks of CometBFT, cosmos-sdk and go-ethereum.
Go-to-market
The project distributes open-source code and developer tools through public repositories and documentation, recruits validators and delegators to secure the network, and expands through partnerships with game studios and other ecosystem partners that build titles and digital assets on the chain.
Developers building decentralized applications and blockchain games, validators and token delegators, and web3 organizations and studios seeking chain infrastructure; the stated ambition includes bringing Web2 users into Web3 through DeFi and Play-to-Own gaming experiences.
History
XPLA was built by Com2uS as a blockchain for gaming and web3 content, and in September 2022 announced one of its first web3 partnerships, with cross-platform game studio Xterio. Its documentation and website subsequently broadened the chain's scope to finance and real-world assets, and in November 2025 a governance proposal to rename the token and chain brand to CONX was submitted and passed.
