Back to collectionA Staking Timetable, and Two Paths to Explain
The Lunar New Year airdrop’s posting window had just closed, and the community’s attention turned to staking. XAI repeatedly contested the 1.3 level, with buy walls stacked across the depth chart. The timetable gave the Night Watchman a basis for planning what to do with his esXAI, but he noticed people in the group treating redemption as a required step before staking.

The Lunar New Year airdrop’s posting window had just closed, and the community’s attention turned to staking. Node operators already held esXAI, but they did not yet know how it would fit into the new rules or whether redemption would be delayed.
XAI repeatedly contested the 1.3 level, with buy walls stacked across the depth chart. Officials published a diagram of the staking tiers, said the first version would launch next week and the second in March, and added that redemption from esXAI to XAI would also open next week. Support staff kept correcting the same confusion: users would stake esXAI, not XAI, and staking and redemption were separate actions.
The timetable gave the Night Watchman a basis for planning what to do with his esXAI, but he noticed people in the group treating redemption as a required step before staking. He decided to explain the two paths separately, then wait for the instructions that would accompany launch. Neither the buy walls nor the timetable could make that choice for anyone.
