Beldex (BDX) is a privacy-focused blockchain project that was conceived and launched in 2018. Its stated goal is to protect user data and keep online transactions confidential.
BDX is the native coin of the Beldex ecosystem and is used for confidential transfers and access to its services. The project emphasizes research into data protection for individual safety and fund security.
Beldex builds on Monero-derived CryptoNote technology, using techniques such as ring signatures and stealth addresses to obscure senders, receivers and amounts. This is designed to keep transaction details from appearing openly on the public ledger.
The network originally ran on proof of work (PoW) and later moved to a proof of stake (PoS) model. The transition aimed to improve scalability, lower fees and shorten transaction times.

As of 2026, total supply is reported at roughly 9.9 billion BDX, with around 7.8 billion in circulation. The network is maintained by masternodes that lock 10,000 BDX as collateral, with about 3,500 active masternodes reported in September 2026.
The ecosystem includes the end-to-end encrypted messenger BChat, the decentralized VPN-like BelNet, the Beldex Browser, the BNS name service and a bridge. Masternodes also serve as the underlying infrastructure for these services.
Beldex combines transaction privacy with a broader suite of tools spanning messaging, networking and browsing. Its move to PoS was intended to improve fees and speed.
However, privacy coins face tightening regulation and delisting risk on exchanges in several jurisdictions. The large token supply and the difficulty of verifying real-world usage of its apps are also worth considering.
