Xai is a cryptocurrency that operates on the Arbitrum platform. It utilises a tri-layer architecture combining Ethereum's security, Arbitrum's scalability, and its own Layer 3 innovations, specifically focused on enhancing gaming experiences. The aim is to enable players to own and trade in-game assets, ensuring secure and efficient transactions and governance within the gaming ecosystem.
Xai works through a Layer-3 blockchain built on the Arbitrum platform, leveraging Ethereum's foundational security. It employs Arbitrum's roll-up technology for scalability, facilitating faster and more cost-effective transactions. The Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism is used, and the platform supports smart contracts, allowing seamless transactions without intermediaries. Moreover, Xai incorporates AI tools to enhance security and generate NFTs.
Xai can be used within a decentralised gaming ecosystem for in-game item trading, gaming governance, and DeFi applications. Its integration into gaming allows for real-world applications in games like “Final Form” and “Chains of the Eternals.” Xai's focus on low fees and fast transactions also opens avenues for broader DeFi applications beyond gaming.
Xai was founded by Ex Populus, working in collaboration with Offchain Labs. Its development journey included significant milestones like achieving high TPS rates and surpassing a million wallet addresses. Xai has been involved in campaigns like the “Xai Odyssey,” distributing substantial player rewards. Despite listing on major exchanges like Binance, its market presence has seen volatility, attributed partly to confusion with token scams.
