The roadmap had just proposed new uses for XAI and esXAI, along with liquid staking. The community still faced a long wait to withdraw its stake and a penalty for leaving early. The Night Watchman wanted to know which barrier mattered most to people.
XAI was at 0.22. A poll in the Chinese language group closed after asking why people would no longer buy XAI to stake. Forty-seven percent chose the lockup periods of 15 to 180 days and the penalty; 38 percent chose the token's lack of use in games. The Night Watchman forwarded the results to the narrator without adding a word.
The answers put the difficulty of leaving beside the lack of a use case. The narrator had meant to write only about the price, but decided to record the two concerns separately for the roadmap discussion: which one could liquid staking address, and how would in-game uses take shape? The announcement had supplied neither a date nor a method.
