Xai & esXai Emissions & Burning

The maximum total supply of Xai and esXai combined amounts to 2.5 Billion tokens.

All of the gas fees paid in the Xai ecosystem are paid in Xai and burnt.

The daily Sentry node emissions of esXai hinge on the prevailing Circulating Supply of both Xai and esXai combined. Xai supply undergoes reduction through the burning of Xai as gas within the Xai ecosystem. Xai’s supply also undergoes reduction through the burning of esXai during the redemption process (depending on user inputs - see above).

The daily emission rate of esXai remains dynamic, contingent upon the total supply of Xai and esXai combined. Upon reaching key thresholds in total supply, esXai emissions will automatically halve. Conversely, if the total supply contracts below the threshold of a halving event through burning, the emission rate of esXai can increase to accommodate demand. These dual factors interact to establish a flexible and adaptive supply mechanism. This mechanism ensures enduring ecosystem rewards for the Sentry Nodes, which solve key problems for the chain. Simultaneously, dynamic halving imposes constraints on the overall supply through negative pressure exerted on the quantity of tokens in circulation.

Once the circulating supply reaches half of the total supply, daily emissions begin to decrease. The reduction continues each time the circulating supply increases by half of the previous threshold value. The basic Emission Tranches are as follows:

≤ 1,250,000,000	1,712,328.7671232900
≤ 1,875,000,000	856,164.3835616440
≤ 2,187,500,000	428,082.1917808220
≤ 2,343,750,000	214,041.0958904110
≤ 2,421,875,000	107,020.5479452050
≤ 2,460,937,500	53,510.2739726027
≤ 2,480,468,750	26,755.1369863014

…etc. This continues on forever.

85% of esXai emissions support the essential work of Sentry nodes, ensuring the network's integrity. A remaining 15% is allocated to a gas subsidy node which is used to help create a gasless experience for players, thereby decreasing friction on chain and likely increasing transaction volume.
