Back to collectionA staking FAQ meets operators’ unsettled calculations
It was Saturday, just after an adjustment to the disputed staking V1 tiers, and operators were still asking how staking affected rewards. Officials published a long FAQ explaining, point by point, what staking was, how it worked, and what it was for. The FAQ gave the group a shared account of the rules, so members could question the same provision instead of working from different assumptions.

It was Saturday, just after an adjustment to the disputed staking V1 tiers, and operators were still asking how staking affected rewards. XAI traded around USD 1.35, with unusually deep order books for a token listed less than two months earlier.
Officials published a long FAQ explaining, point by point, what staking was, how it worked, and what it was for. The same questions had been coming up repeatedly. Reading the section on rewards, the Night Watchman saw someone in the group take a better chance of winning to mean a fixed increase in daily rewards. He raised the misunderstanding and pointed out that actual wins and claim costs still mattered.
The FAQ gave the group a shared account of the rules, so members could question the same provision instead of working from different assumptions. The Night Watchman decided to keep recording his wins and costs to see whether the explanation matched the experience of running a node. Dissatisfaction with the new distribution remained.
