Back to collectionThe official bridge opens with matching balances and unsettled questions
The foundation had compared several uses for the 20 million redeemed XAI tokens, and the cross-chain plan had reached deployment. The official bridge was deployed: every XAI token locked on the original chain was matched by an equal amount minted on the other chain, with a cap of 20 million tokens. The cross-chain plan on paper now had traceable lock and mint records, and players had an address by which to identify the official asset.

The foundation had compared several uses for the 20 million redeemed XAI tokens, and the cross-chain plan had reached deployment. A-Zhen was responsible for making the sole official entry point clear to players. The Night Watchman would check whether the accounts on both sides of the bridge matched.
The official bridge was deployed: every XAI token locked on the original chain was matched by an equal amount minted on the other chain, with a cap of 20 million tokens. A-Zhen pinned the sole official contract address and applied for a label on the other chain's block explorer. After dipping and rebounding, XAI showed an intraday range of 58% and was quoted at $0.00985, up 24.7% from the previous close. People in the group still asked when they would break even. The Night Watchman checked the balances on both chains and replied only, “They match.”
The cross-chain plan on paper now had traceable lock and mint records, and players had an address by which to identify the official asset. The sharp price move did not settle anyone's personal cost basis. A-Zhen's next steps were to await the explorer label and keep explaining how to check the bridge; the trading pool's configuration still had to be put into effect.
