Assets (XE & XUSD)

Dual-asset model — XE emissions for providers, XUSD for compute and voting.

XE supports two native assets with distinct economic roles.

XE

Emission reward — minted when compute leases are settled. The XE reward equals the XUSD cost of the lease.

XUSD

  • Lease payment — consumers pay XUSD for compute
  • Voting weight — XUSD balance determines delegation weight for consensus
  • Faucet — testnet accounts can claim 100 XUSD per 24 hours

Asset Encoding

8-byte field, left-aligned UTF-8, zero-padded:

"XE"   → 58 45 00 00 00 00 00 00
"XUSD" → 58 55 53 44 00 00 00 00

Cost Formula

Placeholder rates for compute leasing:

perHourMilli = vCPUs × 20 + ceil(memoryMB / 1024) × 10 + diskGB × 1
hours        = ceil(duration / 3600)
costMilli    = perHourMilli × hours
cost         = ceil(costMilli / 1000)     // minimum 1
ResourceRate
vCPU20 milli-XUSD/hour
Memory10 milli-XUSD/GB/hour
Disk1 milli-XUSD/GB/hour

Stake = cost / 5 (minimum 1). XE emission at settlement = cost.
