Reward probability is not a payout timetable

A key holder reported receiving no rewards since the pool rollout and asked whether a low challenge-winning probability explained the experience. In a directly linked response to the participant's documentation question, a Xai administrator described a default probability of 1%, increased by staking esXAI to reach a higher tier. The participant then asked for documentation to emphasize probability rather than an expectation of rewards every few days or 7 days. The exchange was authored on June 16 UTC, although its local display shows June 17.

This is an explanation of reward mechanics, not a reconciliation of the participant's node activity or a guaranteed yield. A waiting-time estimate also needs the number of eligible challenges and the applicable selection rules; the stated percentage alone cannot establish a payout interval. The messages do not verify continuous uptime, error-free logs or a final decision to move into another pool. For pool comparison, reward frequency, reward size, eligibility and available capacity remain separate inputs.
