01
What XCORE is
XCORE is a trading asset: a token meant to be bought and sold on Raydium. That primary goal is Decided. The design described here, Option D, is Under consideration.
A fair-math launch
XCORE starts on a one-way bonding curve. Anyone can buy; the price follows a published formula.
Reflections in wXNT
After launch, a 1–2% tax on XCORE trades is swapped into wXNT and shared with holders.
Staking boost
Holders who stake also share Foundation XNT from X1 staking, about 80,000 XNT a day.
Option D is different from the live simulated sale on /buy (Option A, a flat bundle) and from the no-tax curve variant on /curve. See /design for the comparison.
02
How the launch works
XCORE launches on a one-way bonding curve priced in USDC. You send USDC to the curve and receive XCORE. There is no sell-back to the curve.
| Curve sold | Curve price | What $100 buys |
|---|---|---|
| 0% | $0.000945 | 105,811 XCORE |
| 25% | $0.001431 | 69,853 XCORE |
| 50% | $0.002419 | 41,334 XCORE |
| 75% | $0.004937 | 20,254 XCORE |
| 100% (graduation) | $0.01512 | Curve closed |
Early buyers pay less: that is math, not a promise. The same $100 buys fewer XCORE as more of the curve sells. It says nothing about the price XCORE trades at on Raydium later.
- Total supply

- USDC into the Raydium LP
- $720,000 20% of the raise, seeded with the 47.6M LP XCORE at $0.01512
- Project treasury (retained)
- $2,880,000 80% of the raise · use and custody: open
- LP tokens
- Burned nobody can withdraw the pool’s liquidity
- Tax during the curve
- None the tax starts at graduation
Pool depth. The Raydium pool opens with about 47.6M XCORE + $720k USDC. That is a thin pool, so trades after graduation will move the price a lot. The curve itself runs 16× from start to end.
03
Reflections: a 1–2% tax paid out in wXNT
After graduation, every XCORE trade pays a 1–2% trading tax (the exact rate is open). The tax is swapped into wXNT on Solana and reflected pro rata to XCORE holders, paid in wXNT.
- wXNT buy pressure. Every swap of the tax into wXNT is a wXNT buy on the market, for as long as XCORE trades.
- Pro rata. Your share of each payout is your XCORE ÷ all reflection-eligible XCORE. The Raydium pool and contract addresses are excluded, so with the example split the eligible supply is 1,000,000,000 − 47,619,047.62 = 952,380,952.38 XCORE.
- Depends on volume. Reflections pool = tax rate × trading volume. No trades, no reflections.
Open engineering decision: Token-2022 transfer fees hit every transfer, wallet-to-wallet included. Taxing only trades needs a transfer hook or router logic. Which one is used is not decided.
04
Staking boost: Foundation XNT for stakers
Holders who stake XCORE also share Foundation XNT from X1 staking inflation: about 80,000 XNT per day, paid as wXNT, split pro rata among stakers only.
Reflections
- wXNT reflections from the 1–2% tax
- No Foundation XNT
- Free to trade any time
Reflections + staking boost
- wXNT reflections (staked XCORE still counts)
- A share of ~80,000 XNT/day, paid as wXNT
- Lockup open: none, 7 days or 30 days
Both kinds of rewards, reflections and the staking boost, are payouts in wXNT. The more XCORE is staked in total, the smaller each staker’s share of the 80,000 XNT. The Foundation amount is a policy choice and can change.

Worked example
Example inputs, not a forecast
- You hold
- 1,000,000 XCORE all of it staked
- Share of supply staked
- 30% of the 952,380,952.38 eligible XCORE = 285,714,285.71
- Daily XCORE trading volume
- $1,000,000 illustration only
- Trading tax
- 2% top of the open 1–2% range
- Foundation XNT
- 80,000 XNT/day to stakers
- Tax pool
2% × $1,000,000 = $20,000 per dayswapped into wXNT at market - Eligible XCORE
1,000,000,000 − 47,619,047.62 = 952,380,952.38Raydium pool excluded - Your reflections
$20,000 × 1,000,000 ÷ 952,380,952.38 = $21 per day0.105% of the pool, paid in wXNT - Total staked
30% × 952,380,952.38 = 285,714,285.71 XCOREexample - Your staking boost
80,000 × 1,000,000 ÷ 285,714,285.71 = 280 XNT per daypaid as wXNT
Same holder, not staked: the same 0.105% of the tax pool, and 0 Foundation XNT. At a 1% tax the pool halves to $10,000/day, so the same 0.105% share is $10.50/day. If volume is lower, reflections are lower; if more XCORE is staked, each staker’s XNT share is smaller. No XNT price is assumed, so the staking boost is shown in XNT only.
06
What wXNT and X1 are
X1 and XNT
X1 is a blockchain. XNT is its native token, used for gas and staking. Staking creates new XNT for stakers (staking inflation); the Foundation’s share is the source of the staking boost.
wXNT
wXNT is wrapped XNT on Solana (Token-2022). It trades on Raydium and is the asset every XCORE payout is made in: tax reflections and the staking boost alike.
07
Risks
- Price can fall
- The curve price only rises during the launch, because there is no sell path. After graduation XCORE trades on Raydium, where the price is set by the market and can fall below the curve price, sharply.
- Reflections depend on volume
- Reflections are a share of trading tax. If XCORE trades little, reflections are small; with no trades there are none. The $1,000,000/day figure is an illustration.
- Foundation XNT can change
- The ~80,000 XNT/day staking boost is a Foundation policy choice, not a fixed obligation. It can be reduced, changed or stopped, and each staker’s share shrinks as more XCORE is staked.
- Smart-contract risk
- The curve, the tax logic, the staking contract, Token-2022 programs and the wXNT bridge can all have bugs or operational failures.
- Lockups
- If a staking lockup is chosen (7 or 30 days), staked XCORE can’t be sold during the lockup.
- Regulatory
- A staking reward from Foundation revenue and tax reflections both need counsel review in the Cayman Islands and beyond. Whether US persons may take part is undecided.
- Simulation
- This site makes no on-chain transactions. Option D is under consideration and may change or not launch.
