Pundi X (PUNDIX) is the utility token of the Pundi X ecosystem, a
blockchain-based payment infrastructure project enabling real-world cryptocurrency transactions through physical and digital solutions, including the XPOS point-of-sale device for merchants to accept crypto payments. Founded in 2017, Pundi X bridges crypto and retail by allowing users to buy, sell, and spend digital assets in physical stores via XPOS terminals, XWallet app, and other tools, with fiat on/off-ramps and compliance features. The PUNDIX token is used for gas fees on the Pundi X Chain (migrating to
Ethereum),
staking, governance, transaction discounts, and incentives in a regulated ecosystem focused on mainstream crypto adoption through retail payments.
When Did Pundi X Launch?
Pundi X was founded in 2017 and launched its PUNDIX token (originally NPXS) through an
ICO in early 2018. The project rebranded to PUNDIX in 2021 with a 1000:1 token swap, deployed the XPOS device network, and migrated to its native Pundi X Chain in 2022–2023. Key 2025 milestones include the announced shutdown of the native Pundi X Chain (effective March 2026) with full asset migration to Ethereum, AI-powered payment enhancements, and continued retail adoption, maintaining active ecosystem development by December 2025.
