The CORE XP system distributes XNT rewards on a daily cycle, while the X1 team funds the rewards on a weekly cycle.
This structure keeps emissions predictable, fair, and sustainable for the long term.
🗓 Overview
CORE uses two timeframes:
Schedule Layer
Frequency
Purpose
Cycle
Daily (24 hours)
XP → XNT conversion & rewards
Vault Funding
Weekly
X1 team deposits XNT that funds the week’s cycles
The result is a clean and balanced system:
Users receive rewards every day
The vault is replenished once per week
Emissions remain stable and predictable
📅 Daily Cycle (24 Hours)
Every day at 00:00 UTC, a new cycle begins.
Each cycle represents a 24-hour reward window where all XP earned contributes to that day’s rewards.
Daily Cycle Timeline
Time (UTC)
Action
0:00
Cycle starts — daily budget assigned
Throughout the day
Users earn XP from all CORE activities
23:59
Cycle closes — total XP is calculated
After close
XP is converted to XNT using the daily budget
Immediately after
Next Cycle begins
💰 Daily Reward Budget
The vault assigns a fixed daily XNT budget to each cycle.
Example:
This daily budget is all that can be paid out for XP earned that day.
It guarantees:
Predictable emissions
A sustainable reward system
No inflation or runaway grants
🔄 XP → XNT Conversion Each Day
At the end of the cycle:
Users receive:
Meaning:
High activity days → slightly lower XNT per XP
Low activity days → higher XNT per XP
Farming is pointless because rate adjusts dynamically
The system self-balances without manual intervention
🗓 Weekly Vault Funding
Once per week, the X1 team deposits XNT into the CORE Vault.
This deposit determines the budget for the next 7 daily cycles.
Example:
Why weekly funding?
Simple to manage
Easy to adjust as the ecosystem grows
Keeps emissions stable
Avoids daily funding burdens
Allows predictable planning for the X1 team
📊 How Cycles and Funding Fit Together
Each cycle converts XP independently, ensuring fair reward distribution.
🧠 Why This Model Works So Well
✔ Predictable
Users know rewards update every day, and emissions follow weekly planning.
✔ Sustainable
Daily caps and weekly deposits prevent inflation.
✔ Easy to Understand
Simple structure for both users and developers.
✔ Dynamic
Conversion rates adjust automatically based on real activity.
✔ Resistant to Gaming
Users cannot “game the rate” across days or accumulate cheap XP for later conversion.
💡 For Developers
