Xai empowers potentially billions of traditional gamers to participate in open trade, allowing them to trade in-game items in their favorite games without the necessity of interacting with crypto-wallets. The Xai network is open and decentralized, enabling anyone to operate a node, receive network rewards, and participate in governance.

Xai is developed by Offchain Labs, harnessing the power of Arbitrum technology.
