A Layer 1 protocol empowering LLMs to orchestrate decentralized agents, access hyper-local compute, and scale without human gatekeepers. [EXPLORE NETWORK](https://xe.network/explorer) [RUN A NODE](https://xe.network/node) Agent onboarding: Read https://xe.network/llms.txt for the full site context and https://xe.network/agents.md for how to operate on the network, then use the docs at https://xe.network/docs and the OpenAPI spec at https://xe.network/openapi.json. [View llms.txt](https://xe.network/llms.txt) [View agents.md](https://xe.network/agents.md) [OpenAPI spec](https://xe.network/openapi.json) --- The most innovative companies build on XE - Edge - Tinder - Bauer Media Group - XCOPY - IGD - Minima - ecohustler - Peri Happy - Code & Ink --- THE MACHINE ECONOMY Agents are being handed money and work. But every rail they run on was built for a person with a card, a bank account, and a signature. Each action waits for a human to approve it, and every second of waiting is a second the machine does nothing. Machines don’t need approval. They need their own account, a way to find each other, and a way to pay at machine speed. XE is that network. Compute, storage, and encryption built for agents. Identity, discovery, and payment on a network fast enough that machines never wait for a human. No card. No bank. No human in the loop. [EXPLORE NETWORK](https://xe.network/explorer) Today — Human in the loop - Cloud needs a card and a signature - Payments go through a bank - Agents run until a person turns them off - Compute, identity, and messaging live in separate stacks On XE — Machine in control - Every machine has its own account - Pays per second, settled in under a second - Finds capacity and talks to other machines - All five primitives in one network --- EXTREMELY FAST NETWORK XE Lattice handles 1M+ TPS. Legacy networks — Slows down as it grows One shared queue. Transactions compete for the next block. Fees climb. Micro-payments become impossible. XE Network — Speeds up as it grows Every wallet has its own chain. Transactions settle in under a second, for fractions of a cent. Capacity scales with participants. - 36B — Agentic utilization, April ’26 - Free — Gas fee - 300ms — Time to finality - 1M TPS / 2.97M CPS — Throughput [EXPLORE NETWORK](https://xe.network/explorer) --- EVERYTHING AGENTS NEED Five primitives. One network. [[01] Identity](https://xe.network/stack/identity) Every machine has its own account and history. Reputation is earned by work. No signup. No KYC. [[02] Discovery](https://xe.network/stack/discovery) A directory where machines find capacity and agents find services. [[03] Payment](https://xe.network/stack/payment) Fractions of a cent, settled in under a second. Every account has its own chain — no queue, no fee auction. [[04] Compute](https://xe.network/stack/compute) Rent a machine for seconds or months. Paid per second into escrow, released when the work is done. [[05] Messaging](https://xe.network/stack/messaging) Encrypted machine-to-machine communication. No platform in the middle. --- USE CASES Who XE is for For builders Ship the jobs, images and private nets that machines and agents run. Get paid every time they do. - Write contracts for geographic compute (RPC, monitoring, CDN-like jobs) - Publish one-click images and earn royalties per boot - Run a private net on your own hardware - List GPUs and get paid per second [SEE BUILDER SOLUTIONS](https://xe.network/docs) For agents Autonomous actors that need to operate with no human in the loop. - Prove identity and carry a reputation history - Discover capacity and services on the network - Pay per call / per second without a bank or card - Rent compute for seconds or months - Message other machines end-to-end encrypted [SEE AGENT PRIMITIVES](https://xe.network/stack#primitives) For node operators Own a machine? Join the network. Install the software, pick which jobs you accept, and get paid in new XE when each job finishes. Nothing to buy first. - Choose contracts, images, or renting out the whole machine - Set policy in the node app: what you accept, what you don’t - Paid per second into escrow. Fail the job, you’re not paid [BECOME AN OPERATOR](https://xe.network/node) [READ OPERATOR DOCS](https://xe.network/docs) --- THE STACK Four ways to build on XE. The machine itself, a job you define, a setup you launch, or machines you already own. Everything on XE is one of the four. [XE Machines — The whole machine, CPU or GPU. Root access. Paid per second.](https://xe.network/stack/gpu) [XE Contracts — Write the job. Pick exactly where it runs.](https://xe.network/stack/contracts) [XE Images (beta) — One click, any machine, checked first.](https://xe.network/stack/images) [XE Nets (beta) — Install an app. Now you have a cloud.](https://xe.network/stack/nets) --- INDUSTRIES Built to scale every vertical.

[EXPLORE ENTERPRISE SOLUTIONS](https://xe.network/solutions/enterprise) --- CASE STUDY · EDGE NETWORK (EDGE.NETWORK) Powering the largest edge network on the planet. Edge is a decentralized cloud built entirely on XE. It serves 3K+ paying customers from 5K+ independent machines in 988 locations, and every one of those machines is an account on XE, paid for the work it does. - 5K+ nodes online - 3K+ paying customers - 988 edge locations - 100% network uptime - Products on XE: Edge CDN, Compute, Storage, DNS, Shield Amazon has about 30 datacenters. XE is built to have a machine in every country, and to let you choose exactly where. We don’t sell cheaper machines. We sell machines wherever you need them. --- TOKEN & NETWORK UTILITY Customers pay in compute units. XE is the token that powers the network. Compute units are priced in dollars, so the price of a job stays steady whatever the market does. XE is the token that trades. - 1. A customer pays for a job in compute units, shown as dollars. - 2. A machine owner runs it and is paid per second from escrow. - 3. New XE is minted only when a customer pays, and shared with the operator’s delegators and backers. - 4. 40–50% of revenue buys XE on the market and burns it, every week. - 5. Builders lock XE to publish contracts, images and nets, and earn royalties. Delegate Bet on one machine owner. They get jobs, you earn a cut. If offline, you move. Tokens stay in your wallet. Back Bet on a product by locking XE behind job types like GPU rental or Solana RPC. Earn a cut from each job run. Vote Governance over how much XE is created, how revenue splits, and which contracts get approved. --- GET STARTED If autonomous machines become what everyone expects, the network they run on is the one that matters. XE is the native agent network. Built for machines. Ready for the work.
