What is Chia Network (XCH) and Why It's Discussed in India

Chia Network (XCH) is an established Layer-1 launched in 2021, created by the inventor of a well-known file-sharing protocol. It uses “proof of space and time,” allowing users to farm with spare storage instead of energy-intensive mining, making it more efficient than Bitcoin. XCH supports fees, farming rewards, payments, and real-world-asset plans.

However, Chia’s 21-million strategic reserve raises centralisation concerns, while XCH remains inflationary and is down about 99% from its peak, making it a higher-risk asset.

Key Considerations Before Buying Chia Network (XCH)

Heavily Faded and Inflationary

XCH remains about 99% below its 2021 peak, while ongoing farming creates new coins. Both its dramatic decline and continued supply growth are key risks to consider.

Limited Adoption and Competition

Chia’s real-world adoption remains limited, while its environmental advantage has weakened as competing blockchains became more energy-efficient. With strong competition, verify its current usage before investing.

FAQs

Yes. Even though one XCH costs more than ₹100, it is divisible, so ₹100 buys a small fraction. Open the app, search for Chia Network, tap Buy, enter the rupee amount, and confirm.

Buying and holding XCH is not taxed. Selling or swapping your tokens triggers a flat 30% tax plus 4% cess on profits, resulting in an effective tax rate of 31.2% under the Income-tax Act, 2025. Additionally, a 1% TDS is deducted from the total trade value upon transfer under Section 393(1) of the Act. Crypto losses cannot be set off against other income.

Chia is an established, technically innovative green blockchain with a novel consensus mechanism and a credible founder. But the company holds and is selling a very large reserve, XCH is down roughly 99% from its 2021 high, it is inflationary, adoption is limited, and its energy-efficiency edge matters less now, so XCH is higher-risk.

Most blockchains secure themselves by burning electricity (proof of work) or locking coins (proof of stake). Chia is different: miners set aside spare hard-drive space, filled with data in plotting. When a block is needed, the network checks these plots for a winning answer, and a separate proof of time keeps blocks secure.

Chia launched in 2021 amid intense green-crypto hype, briefly topping a billion dollars, then XCH fell around 99%. Several factors weigh on it: the company holds a very large reserve it has been selling; mining keeps creating new coins; real adoption has been slow; and its energy-efficiency edge faded as other chains cut energy use.

Enable app-based two-factor authentication rather than SMS, and use a password you have not reused elsewhere. Never share an OTP, seed phrase, or remote screen access. If you withdraw to a personal wallet, check the address and network, and send a small test amount first, because transfers cannot be reversed.
