Staking Real Yield Flow

Staking $XI gives you rewards from every platform's transaction.

We’ve covered many aspects of staking in the $XI Token section. This section provides a consolidated view of how staking yields are generated and distributed, emphasizing the sustainability of “real yield.”

When we say “real yield”, we mean staking rewards that come from actual revenue (trading fees) rather than purely inflationary token issuance. Xi’s staking combines token emissions (temporary) with fee sharing (permanent) to deliver an attractive yet sustainable yield.

Xi jump-starts staking with a 100 million $XI emissions pool (5 % of supply) released over 24 months. Rewards are front-loaded—roughly 4.17 M $XI per month at launch—so early participants enjoy outsized APYs. Longer locks earn a bonus yield. As the pool runs down, emissions taper, and by year two, staking income is designed to rely mainly on fee sharing rather than fresh token issuance.

From day one, 10 % of every platform fee flows to stakers: 0.1 % of each Agent trade (1 % fee × 10 %) plus any platform share of performance or exit fees. Collected fees are auto-swapped into $XI on-market and distributed continuously—essentially a dividend that scales with volume. As trading grows, fee sharing overtakes emissions, making staking yield a direct, self-balancing function of Xi’s performance.

Finally, multiple burn loops—25 % of every transaction for the first two years, perpetual buy-back burns on trading fees, and AI-credit burns—steadily shrink supply. When tokens vanish, each staker’s percentage of total supply rises, protecting yield from dilution and aligning long-term holders with the ecosystem’s growth.

Let's see how Buyback and Burn Mechanisms work next.
