cMixx is the xx network’s advanced privacy protocol designed to eliminate metadata exposure in online interactions among people, chains, and businesses.

In precomputation, after a new team of xx nodes is randomly selected, the nodes undertake a series of quantum resistant cryptographic computations to produce a template that dictates how the team must process information during mixing. The template is completely defined before the batch of messages arrives, ensuring confidentiality while dramatically increasing the speed at which information can be processed in the real time phase.

In real-time, senders query gateways and then send their data. Gateways then aggregate the data in anonymity sets. The network routes the data sets through a randomly selected team of nodes. The first team node uses the template to effectively encrypt each piece of data; the node also uses the template to change the order of data in the set. Successive team nodes repeat this process. The last node sends the anonymity set, of now encrypted data, out to a gateway. Recipients then query xx gateways to retrieve their data.

Unlike existing data transfer and communication software using legacy cryptography, cMixx is quantum-resistant, safeguarding data and content even against future quantum computing threats.

The xx network’s “mixing” process breaks the link between senders and recipients, guaranteeing total anonymity and making it impossible to track interaction patterns or identify users. Unlike traditional communication or data transfer methods that expose metadata such as IP addresses and timestamps, cMixx effectively encrypts and randomizes data traffic, preventing any form of tracing. This level of privacy is crucial for securing sensitive data.

The protocol can be seamlessly integrated as a Layer-2 privacy solution across various blockchain networks, enhancing security for decentralized applications, businesses, and other digital services. With cMixx, the xx network is building the infrastructure for secure, private, and scalable communication in the digital age.
