Back to collectionA USD 300 Million Reward Tally Meets a Weary Community
The arguments over redemption and airdrops had not settled, and many were asking what past rewards had meant for them. XAI reached $0.039, and the group's response was almost numb. The total made the scale of distribution visible, but it did not answer each person's questions about eligibility, waiting and what they had actually received.

The arguments over redemption and airdrops had not settled, and many were asking what past rewards had meant for them. The official account chose to publish a cumulative tally stretching back to launch, bringing the scale of long-running distribution into view.
XAI reached $0.039, and the group's response was almost numb. The official account said that since January 2024, node rewards and airdrops together had distributed XAI worth more than USD 300 million, with more still to come. It ended with two different notes: “We see those who have stayed with us,” followed by “We have also taken note of those who have not truly stayed with us.”
The total made the scale of distribution visible, but it did not answer each person's questions about eligibility, waiting and what they had actually received. Some also heard the second line as a division between insiders and outsiders. The Night Watchman planned to listen for which line troubled people, then clarify the distribution rules he could explain.
