# X-Chain

Exchange Chain (X-Chain):

The X-chain is used for sending and receiving funds, however, it is not used for Defi platforms. Also, note that x-chain cannot be used with MetaMask or similar wallets.

The trailing endpoint for X-Chain calls is:

```
To interact with X-Chain via the JSON-RPC endpoint:
 /ext/bc/X

To interact with other instances of the EVM via the JSON-RPC endpoint:
/ext/bc/blockchainID/rpc

(where "blockchainID" is the ID of the EVM chain)
