In the last XAI Key airdrop event, Xai keys brought players generous returns of up to 600U (1500), an astonishing number that undoubtedly left many people looking forward to Xai keys.
And now, exciting news comes again, Xai keys will be released at 10:00 this morning! Brothers, it's time to dive in.
I. In-depth analysis of the Xai key staking ecosystem
Participant classification
Currently, participants in the Xai staking ecosystem are mainly divided into two categories: those who purchase node Xai keys and complete KYC certification; and those who hold esXAI. esXAI, as a special token, can be obtained by purchasing XAI and converting it into esXAI.
Core concept of staking pools
Role of the pool: The staking pool acts like a small community within a larger community, or a guild in an online game. It plays an important role in the Xai staking ecosystem, facilitating cooperation among community members and solving a series of key issues.
Creating a pool: Only users who purchase node Xai keys and complete KYC certification are qualified to create a staking pool. When creating a staking pool, at least one Xai key must be deposited. The pool creator also needs to set three parameters to determine the distribution ratio of esXAI output, including the creator (team) ratio, the reward ratio for users depositing Xai keys, and the reward ratio for staking esXAI users.
Relationship between Xai keys, pools, and esXAI: The amount of esXAI produced by the staking pool directly depends on the number of Xai keys deposited in it. When users deposit Xai keys into the staking pool, the output corresponding to those Xai keys will contribute to the pool. Therefore, the more Xai keys in the pool, the more esXAI produced.
In the first phase of the staking ecosystem, users need to run nodes personally after purchasing Xai keys to obtain esXAI rewards. However, after depositing Xai keys into the staking pool, users can avoid the need to run nodes themselves while still being able to run their own nodes to back up the pool's nodes. This means that users have entrusted the operation of their Xai keys to the staking pool, with the pool's creators responsible for the maintenance of the nodes.
Current version of pool level analysis
When 1 Xai key is deposited into the pool, the amount of esXAI the pool can hold increases by 20000.
A pool can accommodate a maximum of 1000 Xai keys, so the maximum amount of esXAI that a pool can hold is 20 million.
The highest level diamond pool requires 8 million esXAI to deposit, and it is relatively difficult to achieve 7 times acceleration in the short term. Currently, most pools will be at the silver pool, which is 1.5 times acceleration.
Example of yield calculation
Assume there is a 3X pool containing 750 Xai keys, with a total staked amount of esXAI reaching 1 million. The pool distribution is as follows: pool owner - 5%; Xai key earning ratio - 80%; esXAI earning ratio - 15%.
The daily output of this pool is calculated as follows: Each Xai key can average 7 assertions every 30 days. Since the pool is a 3X pool, each Xai key can make 21 assertions in 30 days. There are a total of 750 Xai keys in the pool, so each pool makes 15750 assertions in 30 days. Currently, the reward for each assertion is 33 esXAI. Therefore, the pool's output in 30 days is: 73750*33 = 519750 esXAI, and the daily output is 519750/30 = 17325 esXAI. After determining the pool's daily output, we can derive the daily earnings for the “pool owner, Xai key holders, and esXAI stakers”:
Pool owner: Pool daily output * pool owner - 5% = 17325 x 5% = 866.25 esXAI.
Xai key holders: Pool daily output * Xai key earning ratio - 80% = 17325 x 80% = 13860 esXAI.
esXAI stakers: Pool daily output * esXAI earning ratio - 15% = 17325 x 15% = 2598.75 esXAI.
III. Precautions and investment strategies
Pool's online status
When depositing Xai keys and staking esXAI, it is crucial to pay attention to the pool's online status. If the pool is offline during assertions, the entire pool's earnings will be lost. Therefore, whether choosing a pool or creating one, this should be taken into consideration.
Other earnings
During the recent XAI Q&A session, the project's core contributors pointed out that although the potential earnings and decision-making power of Xai staking pools partially depend on third-party game companies, this mechanism provides additional airdrop opportunities for Xai key holders and esXAI stakers. This setup can be compared to Binance's Launchpad, where all games on the XAI game chain may offer airdrops to Xai key holders and esXAI stakers.
Staking release waiting period
Whether staking Xai keys or esXAI, releasing the stake requires a 7-day waiting period to take effect. After staking, if you immediately choose to release, you will see a 'CLAIM' button grayed out. After the 7-day waiting period ends, the 'CLAIM' button will become clickable. If you do not click 'CLAIM' after 7 days, the assets will remain staked and continue to generate earnings.
In summary, the release of Xai keys has brought new opportunities for investors. The last airdrop has demonstrated its immense potential, and this release is even more exciting.
