Vote for Block Producers

This page describes how to vote for Block Producers when staking XPR.

Block Producers (BPs) are the backbone of the XPR Network. They are responsible for validating transactions and producing new blocks - similar to miners on Bitcoin or Ethereum. However, unlike proof-of-work systems, XPR Network uses Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS), meaning Block Producers must be elected by XPR token holders.

Only the top 21 BPs - ranked by total votes, actively produce blocks. It’s a standard requirement that all BPs operate reliable, secure infrastructure. End users should never need to worry about uptime or technical reliability. That said, voting goes far beyond just picking competent operators.

Because DPoS is a governance model, your vote helps shape the direction of the network. Block Producers you select represent you as an XPR token holder and staker. Choose BPs who not only run solid infrastructure, but also contribute meaningfully to the ecosystem through:

• Marketing and community engagement

• Business development

• Developer support and open-source contributions

• Driving adoption beyond what the core developer, Metallicus, delivers

To research and compare Block Producers, use the LINKS column to visit their websites and social media profiles. Select up to 4 BPs to support with your vote.

Note: Voting does not affect your staking rewards—it’s a governance decision, not a financial one.

Before voting, make sure you’ve staked your XPR. See the Staking + Unstaking section for a step-by-step guide.
