Back to collectionWhat if value returned to the community?
The post-election rally had passed XAI by; it stood at 0.172. In the early hours, the narrator posted an open question on X beginning with “What if”: what if node holders and XAI stakers received an airdrop, and what if the foundation used its share of revenue from several of its games to buy back XAI, returning as much value as possible to the community? Buybacks and airdrops remained questions, not approved plans.

The post-election rally had passed XAI by; it stood at 0.172. The narrator of the chronicle watched a community asking how token value might flow back to holders while also waiting for games and developer tools to find more concrete uses.
In the early hours, the narrator posted an open question on X beginning with “What if”: what if node holders and XAI stakers received an airdrop, and what if the foundation used its share of revenue from several of its games to buy back XAI, returning as much value as possible to the community? The post ended by asking what people thought. The group debated it at length. Some estimated the staking yield the foundation’s long-idle token holdings might produce. Others pointed to newly connected liquid staking, which required no 180-day lock and offered an annualized yield above that of most official pools. Still others questioned the appeal of an exchange staking yield of 0.73% a year. During the day, the official account reported more than two million connected players on Xai connect and 2,000 developers preparing to deploy on the network. That evening it announced a partnership with Moddio: the community could use its editor to make social games and use XAI as a common in-game credential. Wallet login was upgraded too, allowing users to open an account directly with an email address or social account.
Buybacks and airdrops remained questions, not approved plans. The discussion also showed that members cared about different things: where yields would come from, how long funds would be locked, and why anyone should participate. The two scale figures and the Moddio tool made the game and developer path more concrete, but they could not immediately explain how the token would capture value or lift that day’s price. The narrator recorded a day of one proposal, two figures and one tool; what came next depended on whether the idea became a workable plan for discussion and whether people used the new entry points.
