Frequently asked questions

iExec Sidechain is an EVM-compatible mainnet using xRLC as the native currency to coordinate confidential off-chain computation with on-chain settlement via the Proof-of-Contribution protocol. It powers privacy-preserving AI and analytics in Trusted Execution Environments (e.g., Intel SGX), tokenized dataset access through the iExec Data Wallet/Marketplace, low-cost oracle execution, and enterprise workflows. Performance profile: few-second block times, sub-cent gas per transaction, and practical throughput in the tens-to-low-hundreds TPS; check the iExec explorer for current figures.

iExec Sidechain is unique for its built-in confidential computing stack (TEE/Intel SGX), verifiable result delivery, and deterministic micropayments baked into the PoCo protocol, all accessible with standard EVM tooling and a 1:1 RLC↔xRLC bridge to Ethereum. Compared with general-purpose L1s, it delivers much lower gas and faster confirmations (few-second blocks, often sub-cent fees) with throughput tuned for compute orchestration rather than high-frequency DeFi; activity centers on task submissions, dataset authorizations, and oracle updates. For comparison, monitor average gas price, block time, TPS capacity, and daily transactions on the iExec sidechain explorer versus Ethereum mainnet.

iExec Sidechain uses xRLC as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain xRLC by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge.

To bridge xRLC to iExec Sidechain, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select iExec Sidechain as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.

To build on iExec Sidechain you can use thirdweb, which provides an easy way to build, monetize and scale your apps, games or agents. You can find detailed guides and documentation on https://portal.thirdweb.com to get started quickly.

To add iExec Sidechain to your wallet, you can connect your wallet and click on [Add to Wallet] button at the top of the page. Alternatively, you can add the network manually using the RPC URL and chain details and add it to your wallet's network settings.

To send xRLC on iExec Sidechain, ensure your wallet is connected to the iExec Sidechain network, enter the recipient's address, specify the amount of xRLC to send, review the gas fee, and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
