XE Token
The currency of machine work.
New XE is minted only when customers pay for work, and 40–50% of revenue buys it back and burns it every week. Its supply follows real use, not a schedule.
XE is the token of the first Agent-Native Network. It pays the machines that do the work, it’s what holders lock to back them, and it’s how the network is run.
Customers never need it. They pay for compute in compute units, priced in dollars, so the price of a job holds whatever the market does. XE works underneath: when a customer pays for a job, new XE is minted for the machine that did it.
Then the other half of the loop runs. Every week, 40–50% of the network’s revenue buys XE on the open market and burns it, so supply follows real use of the network, not a calendar.
New XE exists only because a customer paid for a job. No work, no new XE.
40–50% of the network’s revenue buys XE on the open market and burns it, for good.
Holders decide how much XE is minted, how revenue splits, and which contracts go live.
Most tokens run on a calendar.

XE powers the network.
Jobs are priced in compute units, so a price holds whatever the market does. XE is the token that trades: machine owners are paid in it, revenue buys it back and burns it, and holders delegate, back and vote with it.

Minted for work.
Burned every week.
Two things change how much XE exists, and both start with a customer paying for real work. There’s no release schedule behind either.
Three ways to earn
with the XE you hold.
XE isn’t a ticket to use the network. It’s how you take part in what the network earns, and in how it’s run.
Back one machine owner. They get more jobs, and you earn a share of what they’re paid. If they go offline, move. Your XE never leaves your wallet.
Lock XE behind a product, like GPU rental or Solana RPC, and earn a share of every job it runs.
Decide how much XE is minted for work, how revenue is split, and which contracts, images and nets are approved.
How governance works
You pay in dollars.
XE works underneath.
Jobs are priced in compute units, and compute units are priced in dollars. The price of a job stays where it was quoted, whatever XE does on the market.
An agent with a budget never has to buy a token, watch a price or hold anything it doesn’t use. It pays for work, and the network pays the machine.

Nothing about XE’s supply depends on taking someone’s word for it. Here is where to look.
Straight answers.
The hard questions about the XE token, answered plainly.
What is the XE token?
XE is the token of the XE network, the first Agent-Native Network. Machine owners are paid in XE for the work their machines do, holders lock it to back operators and products, and it’s how the network is governed.
Do customers need to hold XE?
No. Customers pay for compute in dollars, through compute units. XE is for the people who run, back and build the network.
Isn’t minting new XE inflationary?
New XE is minted only when a customer pays for work, and every week 40–50% of revenue buys XE back and burns it. Supply grows with work done and shrinks with revenue earned. Both move with real use of the network, not with a schedule.
Where does the money for the buyback come from?
From revenue: what customers pay for work on the network. Every week, 40–50% of it buys XE on the open market.
Is bought-back XE burned or kept?
Burned. It’s removed from supply permanently, on chain, where anyone can check it.
What happens if usage drops?
Less work means less new XE. Minting is paid for by customers, so a quiet network doesn’t print tokens.
How do I earn XE?
Run a node and get paid for the work your machine does. Delegate to an operator, back a product, or publish contracts, images and nets and earn every time they run.
Who decides how the token works?
XE holders. They vote on how much XE is minted for work, how revenue is split, and which contracts, images and nets are approved.
I hold EDGE. What happens to it?
EDGE migrates to XE one for one.
