XE and XUSD, on every account
Every account tracks two assets, XE and XUSD, each with its own balance. Accounts open by claiming or receiving, with no genesis block to depend on.
About the XE tokenTwo assets, compute leases, 45 security findings closed
Accounts now hold XE and XUSD side by side, machines can be leased from other machines, and a full security review landed before anything else was built on top.

Lease a machine from another machine
Three new block types, a lease, its acceptance and its settlement, turn compute into something one account can rent from another, priced by a formula every node agrees on.
About XE Machines45 security findings, closed
A full review of the node before we built on it: tighter limits on everything a peer can send, votes that can’t be counted twice, and commits that can’t lose or double tokens if a node crashes.
Everything else this week
2new2improved4security2fixedImproved2
- CLI & APIServer-side proof of work over
POST /pow, so light clients don’t have to compute it - NetworkNodes keep their identity across restarts and retry bootstrap peers on their own
Security3
- CLI & APIThe HTTP API listens on localhost by default, and an endpoint that exposed a key seed is gone
- NetworkSize limits, timeouts and per-peer rate limits on the API, gossip and sync
- ProtocolVote weights snapshotted when a conflict starts, so they can’t be changed mid-vote
Fixed2
- XE MachinesLease durations round up, so a lease can never be underpaid
- XE MachinesA provider checks its capacity and balance before it offers a machine
