Five Days of Waiting, One Meeting to Answer

March began with XIP-1 still short of a voting launch. Operators had to explain the safety concerns to members who had prepared their eligibility under the earlier schedule and were now repeatedly checking the governance page.

XAI opened the month at $0.088, and the vote again failed to start as expected. Officials said only that they were taking a few more steps to ensure a safe and fair process, with an update no later than the next community meeting. People in the chat counted five days of waiting and pressed an operator to say what those steps were. The operator did not promise a new start time on the technical team's behalf, but treated the meeting as the next point for questions.

The statement set a deadline for an update, though it gave no voting date. The chat now had a shared occasion on which to seek an answer. The Night Watchman suggested listing eligibility questions separately from safety questions so both could be raised at the meeting. Whether the meeting would clarify the remaining steps was still unknown.
