# What is XEROM?

### Xerom is the Ether-1 side chain.

Xerom is our rapid development chain, whilst Ether-1 is the mother chain that gets all the stable/proven improvements.

### How does Xerom work with Ether-1?

Xerom provides a different monetary policy as well as a different ledger for ethoFS hashes to be stored in. This allows for a more Decentralized ethoFS ecosystem as ethoFS is no longer reliant on a single chain.
