Introduction
If you've explored $DEVVE, DevvStream, or ESG blockchain use cases, you've likely seen the name DevvX come up — but what exactly is it?
In this post, we’ll break down what DevvX is, why it’s different from traditional blockchains like Ethereum, and how it serves as the underlying engine of the entire Devv ecosystem.
DevvX: A Next-Generation Layer 1 Blockchain
DevvX is a high-performance, sharded Layer 1 blockchain protocol designed from the ground up for real-world scale, ultra-low energy usage, and maximum flexibility.
Developed by Tom Anderson and his team at Devvio, DevvX was built to solve the core issues holding back most blockchains:
Scalability
Cost-efficiency
Environmental impact
Developer accessibility
Key Features of DevvX
1. Unmatched Scalability
DevvX supports an architecture where independent blockchains (shards) can be spun up for each application or partner. These shards:
Operate independently
Seamlessly interact through a cross-shard transaction engine
Enable performance benchmarks of 8 million transactions per second (TPS)
Compare that to Ethereum’s 15–30 TPS and you get the idea.
2. Low-Cost Transactions
DevvX transaction fees are orders of magnitude lower than Ethereum.
In fact, DevvX costs are on the order of 1/10 millionth the cost of Ethereum per transaction.
This makes it suitable for:
Micropayments
Carbon credit tracking
Gaming transactions
Large-scale enterprise and government systems
3. Ultra-Efficient Energy Use
Blockchain critics often highlight energy consumption — especially with proof-of-work systems like Bitcoin. DevvX changes the game.
Its design uses roughly 1/3 billionth the energy of Bitcoin.
That makes DevvX one of the most environmentally friendly blockchains in the world — a key reason it’s used in ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) contexts.
4. Developer-Friendly APIs
DevvX allows developers to interact with the blockchain using traditional RESTful APIs — no need to master a new language like Solidity.
This makes it easy to:
Build dApps using familiar tools
Spin up custom chains for enterprise or public-sector use
Integrate blockchain infrastructure without blockchain headaches
How DevvX Fits in the Ecosystem
Entity = Role with DevvX Devvio = Created and continues to develop DevvX Forevver = Licensed DevvX to run $DEVVE and ESG systems DevvE = Platform token that will run on DevvX long term DevvStream = ESG company using DevvX to log carbon credit data GlassBlock = Marketplace and wallet interface on DevvX
What Will Run on DevvX?
Here are a few examples of how DevvX is being used or will be used:
$DEVVE token: payment, exchange, liquidity, verification across ESG use cases
Carbon tracking: DevvStream records project data to immutable DevvX records
Gaming ecosystems: LitCraft’s Digital Financial Ecosystem
GlassBlock.io: hosts DevvX wallet, explorer, and digital asset marketplace
Governments & enterprises: potential for RWAs, stablecoins, land registry, and more
📌 TL;DR
DevvX is the blockchain backbone of the Devv ecosystem — fast, green, scalable, and developer-friendly. It’s the infrastructure powering not only the $DEVVE token, but future ESG systems, marketplaces, and enterprise apps across the world.
