Assets (XE & XUSD)

XE supports two native assets with distinct economic roles.

XE

Emission reward — minted when compute leases are settled. The XE reward equals the XUSD cost of the lease.

XUSD

• Lease payment — consumers pay XUSD for compute
• Voting weight — XUSD balance determines delegation weight for consensus
• Faucet — testnet accounts can claim 100 XUSD per 24 hours

Asset Encoding

8-byte field, left-aligned UTF-8, zero-padded:

"XE"   → 58 45 00 00 00 00 00 00
"XUSD" → 58 55 53 44 00 00 00 00

Cost Formula

Placeholder rates for compute leasing:

perHourMilli = vCPUs × 20 + ceil(memoryMB / 1024) × 10 + diskGB × 1
hours        = ceil(duration / 3600)
costMilli    = perHourMilli × hours
cost         = ceil(costMilli / 1000)     // minimum 1

Stake = cost / 5 (minimum 1). XE emission at settlement = cost.
