On the first weekend after the new staking thresholds were announced, pool owners were still explaining tier drops while ordinary node participants recalculated whether keeping watch was worthwhile. Saturday trading grew quiet, and the rebound increasingly seemed to be over.
Trading volume shrank quickly. In the node group, someone set out their own daily esXAI rewards over the past six months in one line: 80 at first, 40 after the halving, and 20 now. They did not present a personal experience as the network average. Instead, they asked the pool owner when staying in the same pool might bring it up to the new threshold.
Those figures brought the rule changes into one person’s daily accounts. Unable to promise a date for reaching the threshold, the owner planned to explain the current stake and the remaining gap so members could decide whether to wait or move. The questioner held off adding more stake and would check the next actual reward settlement.
