Back to collectionBuybacks, Unlocks, and Conflicting Key Terms
XIP-1 had approved monthly buybacks, yet node holders were also thinking about token unlocks, key emissions, and returns that remained unclear. Someone said the foundation had already bought back a substantial amount and would keep doing so. The disagreement remained, but attention shifted from who sounded more optimistic to which claims needed a clear basis.

XIP-1 had approved monthly buybacks, yet node holders were also thinking about token unlocks, key emissions, and returns that remained unclear. The community’s dispute was whether these accounts could be made to fit together.
Someone said the foundation had already bought back a substantial amount and would keep doing so. Another member immediately asked why the price was still going nowhere if tokens were being unlocked on one side and bought back on the other. Meanwhile, the group received opposite answers in the same week on whether keys produced esXAI for only three or four years or for life. The Night Watchman asked people to pursue the buyback claim, the price question, and the emission term separately, rather than treating one answer as proof of another.
The disagreement remained, but attention shifted from who sounded more optimistic to which claims needed a clear basis. The Night Watchman intended to keep seeking one consistent answer on the key term. No one had worked out how buybacks and unlocks offset each other or what that meant for the price.
