ChainCatcher news, Deutsche Telekom's subsidiary announced on Thursday that it will expand its Web3 services to the XDC Network (XDC), a blockchain focused on tokenizing RWA, trade finance, and DePIN.Deutsche Telekom MMS, dedicated to cloud and internet infrastructure, joins the network as an infrastructure provider and will operate a backup master node. This type of node does not validate transactions on the blockchain by default but will be called upon if the number of operating validator master nodes falls below the required level of 108.Dirk Röder, head of the Web3 division at Deutsche Telekom MMS, stated: "This initiative leverages our enterprise-grade infrastructure to enable secure blockchain-based applications, with a focus on the financial sector."

ChainCatcher news, blockchain infrastructure solution Ankr announced a partnership with XDC Network to integrate the XDC Network into its RPC services, which will encourage developers to use the XDC Network and related TradeFi cases.It is reported that Ankr's XDC RPC (Remote Procedure Call) is a key service that connects wallets and dApps with the XDC blockchain. They act as messengers or blockchain routers, simplifying on-chain data transfer between XDC nodes, dApps, and end users.In addition, Ankr stated that both parties in this collaboration will seek to reshape the journey of how developers build decentralized applications (dApps).

According to Chain Catcher news and Yahoo Finance, blockchain technology provider XDC Network announced that it has secured a total investment commitment of $50 million from alternative investment group LDA Capital Limited to accelerate the expansion and development of Layer 2 projects within the XDC ecosystem, promote network adoption, and enhance practical utility in the real world.It is reported that the XDC Network, launched in 2019, is a "carbon-neutral" enterprise-grade hybrid blockchain compatible with EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine), which meets the growing demand from global financial institutions, retail users, and entrepreneurs for fast, secure, and decentralized network products through the use of XDPoS technology.
