vaultCORE Vault

The CORE Vault is the reward engine of the X1 ecosystem. XP earned from XDEX, Degen, Wallet, and Social actions is redeemed for XNT from the CORE Vault every cycle.

The vault ensures:

  • Rewards are sustainable

  • XNT emissions are predictable

  • XP maintains real economic value

  • No inflation or runaway farming

  • Long-term alignment between user actions and protocol health


🚰 How the Vault Is Funded

The CORE Vault receives XNT from three sources:


1. Protocol Fees (Automatic Funding)

A small percentage of revenue from the X1 ecosystem continuously feeds into the vault.

  • 5% of XDEX trading fees

  • 5% of Degen graduation fees

  • 5% of wallet swap routing fees

This creates a self-sustaining XP economy as usage grows.


2. Manual Top-Ups (Team-Controlled)

The X1 Team may add additional XNT at any time to support:

  • Growth periods

  • Marketing pushes

  • Seasonal boosts

  • Special events

  • Degen festivals / Skull Wars

These deposits keep the vault healthy and flexible.


3. Initial Bootstrapping Deposit

At launch, the X1 team deposits a large initial amount (ex: 200,000 XNT) to ensure:

  • Early users are rewarded fairly

  • The XP system starts strong

  • XP always has real redemption value


⏱ Cycle-Based Emission Policy

Time is divided into cycles (daily or fixed block intervals).

At eachcycle:

  1. The vault releases a fixed amount of XNT:

  1. All XP earned during the cycle is summed.

  2. The XP → XNT conversion rate is calculated.

  3. Users receive XNT proportionally to the XP they earned.

This model delivers predictable, non-inflationary emissions.


🔄 XP → XNT Conversion Policy

At the end of each cycle:

Users receive:

Behavioral Effects:

  • High activity → XP becomes less valuable that cycle

  • Low activity → XP becomes more valuable

  • Farming becomes pointless

  • Rewards always match vault output

  • Vault emissions are stable


🛡 Sustainability & Anti-Gaming

The vault model prevents:

  • Inflation

  • XP hoarding exploits

  • Unbounded emissions

  • “Farm at low-activity, redeem at high-activity” attacks

XP only pays out based on the cycle it is earned in, ensuring rewards always match current vault conditions, not user timing.


📊 Transparency

The following should be visible in the CORE dashboard:

  • Vault balance

  • Cycle budget

  • Last cycle’s conversion rate

  • Total XP minted

  • Total XNT emitted historically

  • Estimated vault runway

This builds trust and helps users understand the system.


🎯 Summary

The CORE Vault:

  • Receives XNT from protocol fees + top-ups

  • Emits XNT at a fixed-per-cycle budget

  • Converts XP → XNT dynamically each cycle

  • Keeps rewards aligned with real economic activity

  • Makes the XP system sustainable, fair, and hard to game

The vault is the foundation that backs the entire CORE XP economy.


📍 Where to Put This Page in GitBook

Your navigation should be:

Why here?

  • Users learn what XP is

  • How it works

  • The categories

  • The rates

  • Then the CORE Vault explains how XP turns into XNT

  • Followed by the detailed XP pages.

This is the perfect logical flow.
