Xai

Xai (XAI) is the native gas token of Xai, an Arbitrum Orbit blockchain designed for web3 gaming. Official documentation also describes XAI as a token for games and in-game items, and as part of validator rewards. It is distinct from other projects that happen to use the ticker XAI.

XAI pays gas fees on the Xai blockchain and can be used as a payment token for games and in-game items. Xai documentation also describes validator-node rewards and a burn of XAI used for gas. Some games can use gas-subsidy contracts, so not every player interaction necessarily requires the player to pay gas directly.

Yes. Xai is documented as an Arbitrum Orbit chain built on Arbitrum Nitro, with AnyTrust data availability. The official Xai documentation also identifies Offchain Labs as a technical supporter and the Xai Foundation as the organization overseeing the ecosystem. AnyTrust uses a Data Availability Committee, which is a specific trust assumption in the chain design.

Xai documentation sets the combined maximum supply of XAI and esXAI at 2.5 billion tokens. The same documentation distinguishes total supply from circulating supply and notes that esXAI is not transferable. Because tokens can be locked, unlocked, emitted or burned, the current circulating amount should be checked against current on-chain data rather than an older dated figure.

esXAI is Xai’s escrowed token, separate from transferable XAI. Xai’s tokenomics pages describe esXAI emissions as supporting Sentry Keys and explain that esXAI can be burned during redemption processes. The two-token setup means a quoted XAI supply figure may not include every esXAI unit, so the exact supply definition matters when comparing numbers.

Xai’s published staking guides describe staking for esXAI rather than treating every liquid XAI holding as automatically staked. The earlier v1 model tied staking to Sentry Keys and KYC, while staking pools introduced in April 2024 allowed esXAI holders to join pools. Users should check the current official staking interface and terms before relying on older instructions.

Xai governance proposals are handled through Xai Agora, and voting power can come from XAI, esXAI and staked esXAI, which the system aggregates as vXAI. The official voting guide says a delegate statement must be created before the voting period for voting power to count. Proposal status and voting requirements can change, so consult the live governance portal for a specific vote.

XAI reached its market all-time high of $1.59 on Feb 25, 2024. Xai's public mainnet launched on January 9, 2024, and the token pays gas on its Arbitrum Orbit chain. The market peak is a price observation; it is not a measure of network use or a protocol milestone.

Xai uses XAI for network gas and describes gas-fee burning in its tokenomics documentation. The Markets and historical-performance sections show available composite prices and returns, but coverage can begin later than the network’s January 9, 2024 public mainnet launch. Historical results describe past market prices only.

XAI can trade on multiple venues, and each venue may show a different last trade, spread and trading volume. FMchart combines available exchange prices into a USD composite, while another website may use one exchange or a different weighting method. Differences can also arise from timestamps, liquidity and whether a source includes the same trading pairs.
