Beldex, Privacy, and Decentralized Crypto
Afanddy B Hushni, then chairman of Beldex International Limited, spoke with CryptoKnowMics during the World Blockchain Summit in Bangkok, in an interview posted on YouTube in December 2019. The interview covered different topics, including decentralized exchanges, cryptocurrencies that protect user privacy, and how Shariah compliance fits into the crypto industry.
Afanddy also talked about Beldex’s plans to launch its own exchange. He explained that the platform is designed with privacy in mind, making it different from Bitcoin by keeping user identities and transaction details hidden. This approach is meant to give users more anonymity in the crypto market. Beldex does not run an exchange today: its website says the company will not create a market for trading BDX, and that any exchange listing BDX operates independently of it.
The Beldex Ecosystem
Beldex (BDX) runs on a blockchain system similar to Monero: it uses the CryptoNote privacy design, so the sender, receiver and amount of each transaction are hidden by default (Beldex whitepaper). The platform allows secure, direct user exchanges without exposing their personal information. By including privacy features, Beldex aims to provide a secure space for cryptocurrency transactions, ensuring users have full control over their financial details.
Beldex in 2026
Beldex’s apps are BChat, a private messenger; BelNet, a decentralized VPN; the Beldex Browser; and the Beldex Name Service (BNS) for .bdx names (Beldex). Beldex also runs a bridge to BNB Smart Chain, where BDX exists as a BEP-20 token backed 1:1 by native BDX (whitepaper version 3.2.1, June 2026).
