StealthEX instant crypto exchange hosted an AMA session with Electra Protocol, represented by Matko, Community Marketing Manager and Master Den, Team Coordinator.
Questions from Twitter
Q1: What inspired the creation of Electra Protocol, and how is it different from other payment-focused blockchains?
Matko: Electra Protocol was created with a simple vision — build a fast, secure, accessible Layer-1 blockchain that solves real-world problems, not just financial speculation. From day one, the project has been fully open-source and 100% volunteer-driven.
There is no company, no CEO, no central authority — just contributors from many countries who wanted to create a transparent, efficient, and truly decentralized payment-ready blockchain
Technically, Electra Protocol delivers:
- Instant settlements and very low confirmation time!
- Fees near 0.0000001 USD;
- ISO 20022-friendly data structure;
- Clean, lightweight architecture designed for real-world integrations.
Instead of competing with hype or complexity, we focused on building something stable, efficient, and long-lasting.
So, short version – our biggest AIM from day ONE is SOLVE problems in the REAL WORLD!
Q2: How decentralized is the current setup in terms of node distribution and ownership — are nodes spread globally and independently controlled?
Matko: I can say – Electra Protocol is 100% decentralized!!! Both in node distribution and ownership! And that is very important to know!
Anyone can run a node simply by downloading the wallet and connecting to the network.
There are hundreds of independent nodes operated by community members across Europe, Asia, and the Americas.
Our explorer shows all connected nodes in real time — offering full transparency.
Because we use Proof-of-Stake, decentralization is not limited by hardware:
- No mining,
- No central servers,
- No privileged nodes,
- No barriers to participation.
So again – FULL TRANSPARENCY!
Master Den: In princible, anyone who runs desktop wallet on their PC’s are becoming nodes. We have 100’s of nodes across the globe which are run by individuals. And this makes Electra Protocol more resistant against network attacks.
Matko: And unlike blockchains (such as Solana), which must be restarted when overloaded, Electra Protocol cannot be turned off.
As long as even one node is online, the network continues smoothly.
Electra Protocol uses modern ECC cryptography and a PoS design that can evolve toward quantum-safe standards when the time comes.
No blockchain is truly “quantum-proof” today — but Electra is architected for long-term upgradeability without disruption.
In short, our blockchain is super safe!
Q3: With the Lightning Network mentioned as a long-term scaling solution, what timeline can we expect for its full implementation on Electra Protocol, and how will it push the network’s capacity beyond the current 1,500 transactions per second?
Matko: Right now, our 1,500 TPS capacity is more than enough for all real-world usage.
To compare:
- Bitcoin ≈ 7 TPS;
- Ethereum ≈ 15 TPS;
- Visa ≈ 1,700 TPS — globally, and it works perfectly.
So Electra Protocol is already in the same league as Visa in throughput — but with faster confirmations.
Lightning Network support is already implemented on the protocol level, but we don’t activate it because there is no need yet. When integrations and adoption scale significantly, Lightning will be the natural next step to extend throughput massively and enable ultra-fast microtransactions. Our focus today: stability, efficiency, and real-world readiness. So in short, when the time comes and Electra Protocol will use tens of millions of people every day, we will implement Lightning Network. In my opinion, soon.
Q4: Electra Protocol ($XEP) is known for its energy-efficient Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism. Could you explain the technical architecture behind this system — how it achieves both security and scalability while maintaining minimal resource consumption?
Matko: Electra Protocol uses a custom Proof-of-Stake consensus designed for fairness and efficiency.
Instead of mining, users simply stake their coins in their wallet and secure the network — earning 3% annual rewards.
So it is an amazing deal! The community keeps our blockchain secure for rewards! Hardware requirements are extremely low: 1 million XEP is enough to start staking (around ~$200 today).
Master Den: By the way, as hardware, even a tiny raspi can run a node, which makes Electra Protocol ahead of its competitors.
Matko: A node can run on almost anything — even a Raspberry Pi.
Blocks are created via randomized selection based on stake and coin age, ensuring:
- Security,
- Efficiency,
- No elitism,
- Very low energy consumption.
We deliberately avoided complex validator architectures that increase risks and energy use.
So in short, the Electra Protocol blockchain is energy-efficient, secure, and fair.
Staking starts around 1M XEP (~$200), runs even on a Raspberry Pi, and earns 3% yearly.
No elitism, no heavy hardware — true green blockchain.
Q5: Can you outline key technical milestones on Electra Protocol’s 2025 roadmap — such as Layer-2 scaling, EVM compatibility, or new consensus optimizations?
Matko: Sure! To make this clear for everyone, the full roadmap is publicly available here.
Key milestones include:
- Major OmniXEP upgrades (indexer, APIs, wallet improvements);
- Enhanced mobile wallet with SWAP, DEX, and contract management;
- New validator node infrastructure;
- Web wallet extensions;
- Preparation for the Smart-EP ecosystem (EVM compatibility).
Very important – all development is performed by global volunteers, working completely for free!
Our north star is simple: prepare Electra Protocol for real-world integration! So we really carefully pick our objectives!
Q6: How does the team handle potential challenges like regulatory shifts, market volatility, or network congestion that could affect the project?
Matko: This is very important for SMART investors! Electra Protocol launched with no ICO, no presale, no VC funding — which means XEP is not a security coin and is fully compliant with SEC and MiCA frameworks. And this is a huge difference between Electra Protocol and 99% of blockchains in the market because this gives us a long-term regulatory advantage.
Market volatility doesn’t affect development, because:
- We have no salaries to pay;
- No treasury to protect;
- No financial dependence;
- The entire project is built by volunteers.
So simply — we as a team don’t care about volatility, and to be 100% honest – we do not care about price either! XEP is not about huge hype and millions of USD for marketing, again – real-world usage! Everyday! Everywhere! So in short, price moves up and down, but our focus stays on utility, integration, and real-world use, not speculation.
The network itself has never experienced congestion — 500 TPS with INSTANT confirmations is more than enough, and if adoption grows beyond that, Lightning Network is ready to be activated.
Q7: Looking back at everything the community has achieved — from building the technology to where you are today — what does the next chapter of Electra Protocol look like?
Matko: The first chapter (first couple years) was building the foundation — mainnet, wallets, DEX, SegWit, Taproot, OmniXEP, Wrapped XEP all without funding! Now we are in chapter TWO: integration into the real world.
That means:
- Real-world payment systems;
- Tokenization;
- Corporate integrations;
- Community or country currencies;
- Data solutions through OmniXEP, and much, much more.
Our blockchain is really limitless!
And let me tell you some huge news. We just welcomed a new team member focused on adoption, which is another huge step for our ecosystem! The next chapter is about bringing XEP technology into people’s daily lives — exactly as we planned from the beginning.
Q8: What’s the bigger vision behind Electra Protocol — what do you hope this project will bring to the world in the long run?
Matko: Electra Protocol wants blockchain to become:
- Invisible,
- Effortless,
- Useful in everyday situations.
We’re building a decentralized infrastructure that anyone can use:
- Businesses,
- Communities,
- Merchants,
- Organizations,
- local ecosystems.
Through OmniXEP, anyone can create:
- Their own currency,
- Their own payment system,
- Their own tokenized ecosystem, in minutes, at near-zero cost!
The long-term vision is simple: make blockchain practical, accessible, and beneficial for everyone — not just crypto traders.
And don’t forget RWA: Real World Assets – tokenisation.
Q9: How does Electra Protocol plan to attract developers and dapps to build on its platform, and what incentives and resources are being offered to support ecosystem growth? What is the strategy for onboarding developers and growing your ecosystem?
Matko: Let’s make this one really short – simple API, light clients, safe token/NFT system, upcoming docs + toolkits.
Developers want utility, not speculation — and XEP delivers practical use cases.
Q10: Are there any new partnerships or integrations planned to boost real-world adoption of XEP?
Master Den: We as Electra Protocol contributors are like developers of the entire blockchain in order to have an efficient, secure and transparent ecosystem. You can think of it like Bitcoin and its devs. This is what we are doing, and our power is coming from our community, which is supporting several side applications and use cases.
Some community supporters started dealing with governments, and some started negotiations with private companies and institutions. This makes us proud that we are on the right track. Applications like RWA (real world assets), stable tokens, and secure smart contract needed applications are always on the table.
Matko: Yes! Some are early-stage, some are advanced.
Electra Protocol is entering the adoption phase — and the momentum is growing.
Electra Protocol is ISO 20022 compliant!
Electra Protocol already follows an ISO 20022-compatible data structure, making it suitable for:
- Financial messaging;
- Payment integrations;
- Enterprise use cases
The chain can be extended to full ISO 20022 support without breaking decentralization.
This is why many people see Electra Protocol as a future-proof blockchain built for real-world utility.
Master Den: Yes, a few points to ISO 20022. Maybe this will clarify a few things for the users here. ISO compatibility is something always discussed. Especially, some projects label themselves as ISO20022 projects, which is not true. Electra Protocol is compatible with ISO20022, but projects/companies/institutions which are building their apps on top of a blockchain should usually tell this.
Live Questions
Q1: IMPORTANT QUESTION, on which network can I get your $XEP token?
- BSC chain
- Tron
- Ethereum
- Polygon
Or any other network, can you tell us?
Matko: XEP is COIN (not a token) on its own blockchain, Electra Protocol! Also, fees are paid in XEP.
Q2: CAN you list 1-3 killer features of your Project that make it ahead of its competitors? What is the competitive advantage your platform has that you feel most confident about?
Matko: Absolutely — here are 3 killer features that make Electra Protocol stand out:
- Real-time payments – INSTANT + ultra-low fees (0.0000001 USD).
This isn’t theoretical — this is what our mainnet delivers today.
Fast like Solana, but without downtime… and with TRUE decentralization.
- 100% decentralized & volunteer-built — no ICO, no VCs, no CEO.
- No presale.
- No seed investors.
- No controlling company.
- No one can dump on the community.
This makes Electra Protocol one of the purest and most community-driven L1 blockchains in the entire market.
- OmniXEP — Create tokens & NFTs directly in the wallet (no coding).
A Layer-2 hardcoded contract engine where anyone can mint, burn, transfer or manage tokens/NFTs in seconds.
- No smart contract exploits.
- No gas wars.
- No coding.
Everything is safe, simple, and built for real-world use.
Our biggest advantage?
- We’re not competing with meme chains or hype.
- Electra Protocol is built for real-world integration — payments, tokenization, stable currencies, business tools.
- That’s why we’re confident: Electra Protocol is built not for today’s hype — but for the world that’s coming.
Q3: A common problem is that nowadays most investors are only interested in initial profits and ignore long-term benefits! So, can you give them some reasons why they should buy and hold your tokens in the long term?
Master Den: Let’s take things first. We are builders of the ecosystem. Not sure if you are aware, but there was never an ICO or IEO with Electa Protocol. This may sound a bit weird to many of you here because today’s real blockchain technology has turned into a casino-style market for the past few years.
We are different, we are open source – like Bitcoin. For e.g. you can never ask MM or profit or investor return, etc, for Bitcoin. The same applies to us. That is where projects like Electra Protocol have to be supported much more than ever in this chaotic market. Because when you start contributing, you bring the value itself, and everybody collects the fruits.
Important note to the above:
No devs or core team members obtain free XEP. All the XEP which they own are bought by themselves, like any other community members. Weird? Yes, but this is the reality.
Q4: You say smart contracts are “hard-coded” with no admin keys or upgradeability. How do you fix critical bugs or add new opcodes in the future without a hard fork? Give a concrete historical example of how this has been handled on Electra Protocol.
Master Den: Hard-coded smart contracts are as named, hard-coded and no need for additional investigation. For sure, the core devs are checking tech upgrades and taking necessary actions, but this is also open source, which ensures trust in the community.
