Back to collectionA staking proposal for the foundation’s idle XAI
Bitcoin hovered near USD 99,000, and the community watched for USD 100,000 while still asking whether the foundation had staked the XAI on its books. Gauntlet proposed spreading the foundation’s long idle XAI across staking pools to strengthen the network, with all returns flowing back to the community. The proposal gave an unanswered question a concrete option to debate, but it was not a foundation decision.

Bitcoin hovered near USD 99,000, and the community watched for USD 100,000 while still asking whether the foundation had staked the XAI on its books. Gauntlet brought that question into the ecosystem forum.
Gauntlet proposed spreading the foundation’s long idle XAI across staking pools to strengthen the network, with all returns flowing back to the community. Under the proposal, the funds could be withdrawn at any time and custody would remain with the foundation. Some welcomed a use for the idle tokens; others wanted the distribution of returns spelled out first.
The proposal gave an unanswered question a concrete option to debate, but it was not a foundation decision. The community still needed a formal response and an explanation of how the pools would handle the stake. Excitement over a price threshold could answer neither question.
