## What is the XBase Protocol?

The XBase protocol is the simplest, flexible and secure way to create digital objects on ETH. Each BASE asset is a tamper-proof digital asset, which is a powerful file format that can be cross-chained to multiple public chains.

## Why use XBase?

The XBase protocol is the simplest way to organize digital property on blockchains such as ETH. The implementation is very simple and provides maximum flexibility for statics.

## The XBase Vision

The grand vision is to build and protect the ETH blockchain as the origin of truth and digital sovereignty. Protocol provides a simple yet powerful protocol to take back control of our digital lives forever. We have all the resources at our fingertips to create the future we want. The XBase protocol is open source and free for anyone to use. All libraries, frameworks and services are released under mce and GPLv2.0 to ensure that no one can control these tools and protocols. This is our passionate work to give the world the option to finally bring instant digital objects to ETH. The way it operates today is without any changes to ETH, there are no middlemen, no leaders, and no centralized brothers. It is designed to work in harmony with other emerging protocols (such as ETHS, ETHI, etc.). Each protocol has different advantages
