# Abstract X1 EcoChain is the world’s first totally decentralized, energy-efficient, and environmentally friendly blockchain deployed on low-powered X1Nodes. By combining the benefits of the **Proof of Nodes (PoN) consensus algorithm**, low power consumption (only 3 Wh), and a scalable architecture, X1 EcoChain introduces a new paradigm of Web4 infrastructure — environmentally friendly, hacker-resistant, and entirely independent from centralized data centers. The platform offers built-in support for the ECO-20 token standard (EVM-compatible), a cross-chain bridge, a token constructor, and developer-friendly SDKs. With plug-and-play node infrastructure, anyone can join the network by running an X1Node at home.\ X1 EcoChain is a leap into the future, where blockchain evolves beyond technology into a sustainable, globally inclusive infrastructure layer for Web4. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
