Investor Minting Announced While XIP-1 Needs Weeks

Background: Raijin had just opened early access, while supporters of XIP-1 were still waiting for an execution plan. The community was discussing player rewards and buybacks alongside concerns about supply. Today the Foundation had to explain two announcements people would inevitably compare.

Today: The first announcement said the remaining investor tokens would be minted soon. This allocation had been set at the token generation event and delayed as far as possible. Minting would not change XAI's maximum supply, but would likely trigger the next halving of esXAI emissions; token unlocking would still follow the investment agreements. The second announcement restated XIP-1's implementation points: the DAO's first phase was in effect, later proposals would use the governance portal, 25 million XAI would go to Genesis participants, 25 million to Raijin rewards, and 100 million to ecosystem growth, with a buyback plan alongside them. A permissioned gas scheme, the US market, and governance through Agora were also on the list. The Foundation asked the community for several more weeks of preparation. A season of community activities also began that day: connect an X account and complete tasks for points, with the season ending on April 30.

Impact and next steps: Placed side by side, the announcements clarified the upcoming mint while asking people to wait for spending and buyback preparations. The chat quickly weighed that sequence against supply concerns. The narrator thought disclosure made questions possible, but it also made the order hard to ignore. The Night Watchman planned to track investor unlocking, the possible emissions halving, and proposal delivery separately. The team still owed the community concrete progress after those weeks.
