Learn FUNCTIONX with Real Code Examples
Updated Nov 25, 2025
Explain
FunctionX provides an EVM-compatible blockchain for deploying smart contracts and dApps.
Supports cross-chain interoperability to connect with other blockchains.
Offers high throughput with low latency for real-time applications.
Enables developers to build decentralized finance (DeFi), NFTs, and other Web3 solutions.
Focuses on a modular architecture for scalability and security.
Core Features
Smart contract support with Solidity
Cross-chain bridges for token and asset transfer
Fast consensus mechanism (PoS-based)
Integrated decentralized applications ecosystem
Staking and governance mechanisms for FX token holders
Basic Concepts Overview
FX Chain – the main blockchain network
FX Token – native cryptocurrency for transactions and staking
Validator – node participating in PoS consensus
Smart Contract – programmable contract on FX Chain
Cross-Chain Bridge – mechanism to transfer assets across blockchains

Building Workflow
Develop smart contracts using Solidity
Compile and deploy using FX SDK or Truffle
Interact with contracts via FX wallet or SDK
Test cross-chain interactions if needed
Participate in governance via FX token staking
Difficulty Use Cases
Beginner: deploy a simple token contract
Intermediate: build NFT marketplace
Advanced: develop DeFi protocols with staking and lending
Expert: implement cross-chain asset transfers
Auditor: validate security and consensus mechanisms
Comparisons
FX vs Ethereum: FX is faster with lower fees, EVM-compatible
FX vs Binance Smart Chain: FX offers cross-chain interoperability, similar speed
FX vs Solana: Solana has higher throughput, FX focuses on EVM and interoperability
FX vs Polygon: Polygon is layer-2 Ethereum, FX is independent EVM chain
FX vs Cardano: Cardano uses UTXO model; FX is EVM-based and smart contract compatible
