Trading Agent Economics

Trading Agent backers keep a % of the total generated profit on that specific Trading Agent.

Each Trading Agent represents a share of the trader’s underlying trading account (their “fund”). NAV moves as the trader’s P&L moves. If the trader’s account grows +10%, the NAV per Trading Agent rises 10%. If the account loses 5%, NAV falls 5%. This is the baseline value, excluding any fee considerations.

Xi promotes profit sharing to align everyone's incentives.

A % of new profits go to the trader, and the rest remains with investors and retail traders. This is charged only when the trader makes a net positive return above the previous high (long), or when the trader makes a net negative return above the previous high (short).

There is a 30% standard performance fee in Markets and Trading. However, Xi lowers this fee to 20% for those users who invest directly through the Launchpad, to encourage long-term engagement.

Fee Type	Default Rate	Launchpad Rate
Performance Fee	30%	30% 20%

To reduce volatility, Launchpad participants are subject to a 3-month lock-up period. However, positions can be exited earlier by paying an additional 3% early exit fee.

Condition	Duration	Description
Lockup Period	3 Months	Funds are locked for 3 months
Early Exit Option	Before 3 Months	Early exit by paying a 3% fee

In summary, Xi doesn't charge fees for investors and charges a 10% fee via the Exchange.

Role (Exchange)	Share of Profit
Investors (Participants of the Agent)	70%
Trader (Operator)	20%
Platform	10%

Role (Launchpad)	Share of Profit
Copy Traders (Buyers/Sellers)	80%
Trader (Operator)	20%
Platform	0%

And, how does the ecosystem encourage new Launchpad listings?

Xi pays additional rebates for Seed Capital participants.

Seed Capital refers to the first $5,000 in assets under management (AUM) raised by a trader. To incentivize early adoption, Launchpad participants receive a 5% rebate of the trading fee with multipliers based on the stage (tranche) in which they invest.

Note, this applies only to Trading Agents in the Seed phase.

Tranche	Capital Raised	Rebate Multiplier	Proportional Share (5%)
1	$0 → $1,000	5×	33.3%
2	$1,000 → $2,000	4×	26.7%
3	$2,000 → $3,000	3×	20.0%
4	$3,000 → $4,000	2×	13.3%
5	$4,000 → $5,000	1×	6.7%

Do other retail traders' decisions affect me?

No. Negative P&L is passed through one-for-one to investor balances. If an individual account falls below the maintenance margin, only that position is liquidated; other investors and the trader remain unaffected.

Note that every mirrored trade triggers a 1% volume fee. You can check how the whole ecosystem benefits from them by accessing the Fees page.
