Independent coverage of X1 blockchain, the SVM layer 1 built by X1 Labs — XNT price, staking, validators, tokenized stocks and the wider ecosystem.
X1 Labs CEO Jack Levin says 85,000,000 XNT will be permanently burned to celebrate Solana's Alpenglow upgrade, which cut target finality from about 12.8 seconds to 150 milliseconds, roughly 85 times faster. The XNT goes to the incinerator address, taking total supply below one billion. We are waiting for the transaction.
Jack Levin told validators the Foundation delegation minimum is moving to current P85 levels, and Nick Pettas set it at 20,000 XNT from Tuesday, October 27. 345 of the 457 validators getting delegation today are below that line. Here are the numbers, the debate and why the stake race is only starting.
XDEX has rebuilt app.xdex.xyz: an all-black design, a price chart next to the swap box, and a new Portfolio page with XP, Valistake, TWAP and limit orders, liquidity and farms in one place. Founder Jason told X1 Report why he did it and how the new site got so fast.
X1 Labs has launched X1 Identity at id.x1.xyz, an official name service for .x1 names. Prices run from 100 XNT for one letter to 1 XNT for five or more, names are permanent NFTs with optional custom art, subdomains can be sold on their own, and support is coming to the newest X1 Wallet.
X1 Prism has a new Limit Orders page that turns every open XDEX limit order into a live order book, refreshed every 30 seconds. It shows buy and sell walls, the price to beat to fill first, fill odds by distance and the full history: 2,459 closed orders, 51% of them filled.
X1 Labs has resumed the v4.0 feature gate rollout, one gate per epoch. Five are live: a 1 XNT stake floor for vote accounts, p-token, create-with-prefund and two alt_bn128 upgrades for zk verifiers, with BLS12-381 syscalls scheduled for October 17. We verified each on-chain: a token TransferChecked fell from about 6,200 compute units to about 110.
X1 Labs core developer Leo Belyaev has posted a W2 intents litepaper to the X1 Builders Telegram. Users would sign an outcome with one Touch ID, such as “deliver 5 USDC, paid from my SOL”, and solvers would compete to deliver it while the W2 program checks the result. The three-stage plan, use cases and open questions.
X1 Labs core developer Leo Belyaev has posted a W2 x402 litepaper to the X1 Builders Telegram. It describes how the passkey smart wallet would pay over HTTP with one Touch ID, give AI agents spending limits enforced on-chain, let users pay gas in USDC and bring an x402 facilitator to X1.
X1 founder Jack Levin has described a plan for XCORE, a token that would launch on Solana and pay its holders in wXNT, in his X1 Report interview. “None of the numbers are solid,” he said. Nothing is live: the design sits in a public simulator. How the sale, the XCORE/wXNT pool, the fee share and the XEN claim would work, and what it could do for wXNT liquidity.
X1's Bootstrap Bonus closes at 00:00 UTC on 1 November 2026. Nick Pettas of X1 Labs says the bonus will be airdropped shortly after to each vote account's authorized withdrawer, with nothing to claim. About 179,000 XNT has been earned so far by 554 validators. What counts, what to check and how much is left to earn.
X1 mainnet went live on October 6, 2025. One year on, validators have their testnet airdrop, investors have their first vesting unlock, the Bootstrap Bonus is due in November and the P85 of validator self-stake has climbed to 11,709.72 XNT. Here is the state of the network and what year one built.
X1 has paid the remaining 90% of its incentivized testnet rewards: 5,393,104 XNT, including the 6% staked yield, sent to 467 validator addresses on October 6, 2026. The Bootstrap Bonus follows next month, the investor unlock is next, and LP fees in the XNT/USDC.x pool are climbing.
GeckoTerminal, CoinGecko's DEX tracker, now lists X1 as its own network with 106 XDEX pools. Jack Levin announced it with one line: "You better pump some volume, guys." What the page shows, why listings matter for visibility, and which trackers are still to come.
The remaining 90% of X1's incentivized testnet rewards, 5,060,527 XNT plus a 6% staked yield of 332,487 XNT, 5,393,014 XNT in total, is on course to be airdropped to validators, most likely around the investor unlock, though no payout date has been confirmed. What it means for thin XNT liquidity, the 5,000 XNT Capybara self-stake floor, and operators who started on mainnet.
Jack Levin turned wXNT on today alongside Apple stock, opening X1's own coin to Solana for the first time at 1,000,000 XNT a day with no per-transfer limit. It is not a gas token, it is locked XNT that Solana programs can hold. It arrives as XNT's entire dollar order book on X1 sits at $6,517, where a $2,300 buy costs 113% in price impact.
A new X1 protocol pays liquidity providers in tokenized stocks. Deposit XNT and USDC.x, and the trading, deposit and withdrawal fees your pool earns are converted into TSLA.X, NVDA.X, GOOGL.X and SPCX.X and paid out daily - with sponsors able to fund the rewards. The first payouts have already cleared on mainnet.
All nine tokenized stocks X1 Labs prepared are now open on the Warp bridge: Meta, the S&P 500, Alphabet, AMD, Coinbase, Palantir and SpaceX join Tesla and NVIDIA. Jack Levin on X: "SPCX, META, TSLA, COIN, PLTR, NVDA, AMD, SPY stonks are on #X1."
Jack Levin says TSLAx is joined by NVDAx and “more stonks are coming.” The chain is more specific than the tweet: nine xStock mints now exist on X1 mainnet, seven of them with zero supply. We traced NVDA.X from mint creation to bridge-in — and why there is still no XNT pair, or anyone collecting the fees from one.
Jack Levin's hacked X account is back online. Levin emailed Nikita Bier, X's head of product and an old contact, who pushed the recovery through, and the account posted again within the hour.
XDEX limit and TWAP orders never touch a public order book: tokens wait in an on-chain vault, an executor fills them against XDEX pools, and the proceeds stay there until you withdraw. We tested both on X1 mainnet.
XDEX has opened four yield farms, and the target is liquidity depth. Providers are now scored twice — once for depositing, again for staking the LP token — with a Depth Boost steering capital into the books the whole ecosystem trades through.
Four days after Jack Levin said stocks would trade on X1, TSLA.X is live on mainnet with a working pool. We traced the bridge, the backing, the early pricing, and what happens when dividends and stock splits arrive.
Who X1 Labs is, what the SEC filings show, why the $300M valuation is not an XNT price, and how to read every field on the vesting dashboard before October 6.
Tachyon rebases onto Agave v4.0.3. A rolling restart is enough — but removed flags will stop your node, and the blockstore change has no clean downgrade.
XDEX founder Jason announced multi-hop and cross-DEX routing today. We read the chain: a router program four days old, 20 routed swaps, a six-hop trade executed as one instruction, and a 0.5% fee. The reason it matters is in the pool graph — 725 tokens on XDEX share only 1,189 direct pairs, 0.45% of what is possible, and three hops takes that to 99%.
A 6 September X Space and a 8 September Telegram message put a destination behind the memecoins and airdrops: bring tokenized stock trading onto X1 itself. But Robinhood's stock tokens are Jersey debt securities with no rights in the underlying, and Backpack's are redeemable claims on shares held in an SPV — and that difference decides what a bridge to X1 is actually worth wrapping.
Two days old, 15,253 swaps and shipping daily: nine Uniswap v4 reflection hooks mined one per tokenized equity, an LP app quoting 771% boosted APY, and a live route into X1. We read the PoolManager's Initialize events and its storage directly — 28 pool keys created, 13 actually funded, about ten indexed anywhere — and worked out why the main ETH pair is deliberately left untaxed, why the staking app creates positions rather than pools, and how reflections and the booster are two separate mechanisms.
FortiSwap now bridges Robinhood Chain into X1, and the config gives it away: every other EVM chain routes from USDC, but Robinhood Chain routes from native ETH plus one alternate asset — Jack Levin's two-day-old 69ELEVEN. We verified the chain ID, the token contract and all twelve of its pools, including the six tokenized-stock pools that make good on his “largest amont of stonk pools” line. They exist. They hold $207.
Jack Levin says X1 is “turning up BTC and ETH” — and the bridge config confirms it. cbBTC and Wormhole-wrapped ETH are live on the Warp Bridge at 0.25%, minting as cbBTC.X and ETH.X on X1. We verified the mints, the 5-of-7 guardian flow, and the caps, which turn out to be dollar-normalised at roughly $10,000 a day per asset. Why the two deepest books in crypto matter more to X1 than wSOL did.
Jack Levin announced wSOL is live on the Warp Bridge. Solana's deepest non-stablecoin asset now crosses into X1 as WSOL.X, mint JDqX4vau2P5zJmLpuNitvR6vMURr9kYjex6oZQXz3Ja8 — the first corridor on the bridge priced as a percentage rather than a flat fee, and the first way onto X1 that does not require selling into dollars first.
X1 Labs core developer Nick Pettas has published the v4.0 roadmap: twelve feature gates, activated roughly one per epoch. p-token cuts a token transfer from 4,645 compute units to 76, stake program v5 imposes a 1 XNT minimum that would have blocked 43% of X1's existing stake accounts, and BLS12-381 syscalls lay the groundwork for Alpenglow-class consensus.
FortiBlox has launched FortiSwap at app.fortiblox.com — a DEX aggregator, a cross-chain bridge reaching fourteen networks, six on-chain order types and a card on-ramp that ranks Coinbase, Stripe, Transak and MoonPay by what you actually receive. Every route into X1 ends the same way: USDC becomes USDC.x.
The first SIMD-0525 reduction took effect at epoch 1020, moving Solana's measured slot time from 414ms to 366ms. X1 has produced blocks at that rate since October 2025. Two SVM sister chains with identical inflation schedules and comparable validator sets — and X1's 29,134 TPS record turns out to be a week-long plateau, not a spike.
Jack Levin announced Project Custard in his Jack's Office Telegram topic on August 19: a working Token-2022 confidential transfer demo on X1 mainnet that hides transfer amounts. X1 Report pulled every signature from the public RPC and decoded them — the 169-byte transfer instruction carries ElGamal ciphertext and zero-knowledge proofs, and the amount it moved appears in none of its bytes.
On August 15 the official X1 Telegram community was consolidated into a single topic-based group called X1 World — fourteen threads covering validators, XDEX, the bridge, price, memes and Jack's Office. Inside the restructuring, the community Jack Levin built from XEN across 13 chains, and Cyberdyne, the builders' room where an AI agent called Theo is open to anyone shipping on X1.
RipperSwap, the new multi-hop DEX and launchpad aggregator from Ripper Pool and X1 Console creator BlackBeard, routes trades across XDex and Degen with up to 8 hops in a single atomic transaction — and ships with a token screener whose audit panel reads straight from the X1 RPC.
X1 Labs has cleared Tachyon v3.1.14 for mainnet, a stability release that moves the accounts index fully into memory, tightens RPC behavior, and fixes X1's circulating-supply reporting. Validators are asked to upgrade once delinquent stake is below 5%.
xDEX founder Jason told the project's Telegram community on July 5 that limit order functionality is set to launch next week, a move that would push X1's primary DEX beyond swaps and toward full order-book trading.
X1 co-founder Jack Levin held his first official Twitch AMA, fielding community questions on XEN Prime, the October 6 XNT unlock, XNM staking, XDEX Terminal, and why X1 is betting on opportunity over any single narrative.
XEN Prime launches on X1 as the scarce mirror of abundant XEN. A 10-million hard cap, pro-rata burn seasons, and an underfill mechanic that permanently destroys unissued supply. The only way in is through fire.
X1 Labs quietly replaced x1.xyz with a fully rebuilt site that functions as a product launch document — confirming USDC.X stablecoin yield paid in XNT, an X1 Games portal with four titles, perpetuals and prediction markets, and a greyed-out Moon Party button nobody is ignoring.
XNT trades at $0.7215 on XDEX with 94.5% of supply staked. Market cap sits at $761.8M with the official X1 Bridge providing two-way Solana connectivity.
XDEX, the primary DEX on X1, is adding new trading pairs as liquidity deepens and volume grows across the ecosystem.
X1's network health remains rock-solid with skip rates under 0.5% and delinquent validators at just 0.17%.
Degen has facilitated 71 token launches on X1, with 28 graduating to full XDEX trading pairs.
X1 has processed over 85 billion total transactions, with daily throughput regularly exceeding 1 million.
In his second conversation with Owl of Atena, X1 founder Jack Levin explains the 85 million XNT burn and the plan to burn every quarter, what Solana's Alpenglow changed, why Capybara targets delegation farmers, a new slippage-free exchange counter for XNT, and a revised XCORE plan built on free claims and a bonding curve. The XCORE ideas are still experiments and can change.
Jack Levin wired 2,000 servers in a week as Google's 21st employee, built the image host that carried early Twitter, mined Bitcoin at a dollar, gave away XEN and founded X1. In a long interview with Owl of Atena he talks about his career, his investors, why he forked Solana, and how he decides what not to build.
SpaceX took 24 years to let the public in. What the tokenization supercycle means for private markets, in plain English: who is locked out and why, what changes when a private share or loan becomes a token, what already trades on Solana, the lesson of May 2026, and the seven conditions for mass adoption.
What the tokenization supercycle means for stocks, in plain English: markets that never close, settlement in seconds, access from anywhere and shares as building blocks. Why Solana became the home of tokenized equities, the three kinds of tokenized stock, the seven conditions for mass adoption, and how xStocks now travel to X1.
A Solana validator pays about 1.6 SOL a day, roughly $190, just to vote. On X1, which runs the same SVM, that bill is zero by design. What Solana's MEV and fee income really costs to reach, what an X1 validator earns on the new 5,000 XNT delegation threshold, and whether Alpenglow changes the math.
GOOGL traded 3.4% higher on X1 than on Solana this morning, and Coinbase 8.9% lower. The day before, the SEC said tokenized stocks can trade in on-chain AMM pools. Why tokenized stocks beat CFDs, why the SVM and X1's near-zero fees suit them, how AI agents fit in, all nine X1 stock prices and contract addresses, and an honest look at who can earn from the gap.
X1 runs the same SVM as Solana, so a Solana program deploys with a change of RPC. A basic transfer costs about a thousand times less, a large program costs about $1 in rent, and oracles, lending, perps, concentrated liquidity and order books are all still missing. Here are the Solana projects with the most to gain, and the honest risks.
XNT pays X1's fees and secures the chain. What it does, why market cap and FDV differ by 76x, and why a 92% staking ratio is not what it sounds like.
Our X1 project review directory lists 83 projects. Why we built it for developers and users, how the scoring resists manipulation, and why we will not publish it.
Base leads on agent transaction volume, Solana on capital, Sui on architecture. But X1 settles a signature for $0.00000088 — 420x cheaper than Solana at live prices. We measured it directly. Here is why cost stopped being the bottleneck, and what actually decides which chain the machine economy runs on.
A deep-dive scenario analysis examining X1's dynamic P85 staking threshold, the October validator unlock, investor vesting mechanics, and three possible paths for XNT through 2027. The ratchet is already turning.
X1 Foundation delegation now requires 3,000 XNT minimum self-stake. New formula rewards self-stake above the network average, with dynamic Ripper Pool filtering currently at 3,976.68 XNT.
X1 VAULT, announced by Jozef from xen.pub on October 19, writes files of up to 100 MB straight into X1 accounts. One deposit, no renewals, optional password encryption, a market for saved files, NFTs that show each file in your wallet and a reward pool for the biggest savers. Here is how it works and what it costs.
X1 Privacy lets anyone wrap XNT or USDC.x into a confidential token, send it with the amount encrypted on-chain and unwrap it one for one. We read the whitepaper, used the app and checked the reserves on-chain: what it hides, what stays public, the 0.39% fee, the upgrade key and early usage.
Degen Skulls were minted on Solana, and 342 now live on X1. There they skip the Degen launchpad's graduation fee, add up to 50% to a holder's stake weight and earn XNT every week. How the NFT that came in with X1 Labs' acquisition of XDEX became a cross-chain identity, and why it may matter more when XNT launches on Solana.
Jack Levin confirmed at 3:06 AM that X1's prediction market will relaunch once oracle security is done properly. The on-chain record explains the delay: four Vero contracts moved 308,745 transactions, and the price feed behind every settlement was a single admin key that ran for 31 hours.
X1 Vault encrypts files client-side with a key derived from your wallet signature, then stores them on IPFS — so the server holding your data cannot read it. Here is how the key derivation works, why it is built for agents first, and how Solaris Prime and Kryptark use it for storage.
X1NS turns wallet addresses into readable names like alice.x1.

Degen launches tokens on X1 with 100% locked liquidity, a constant-product bonding curve and automatic migration to XDEX at 1,000 XNT raised. Verified mechanics: 10 XNT creation fee, Token-2022, 1% trade fee, 79.31% of supply sold on curve.
X1 Games is the gaming portal for X1 Blockchain — five titles, on-chain match settlement, tournaments, and a developer program paying studios to ship. Here is how X1 Points actually work, what the XP is and is not worth, and an honest read on the beta.
A complete 2026 guide to running an X1 validator: hardware and real costs, the official Tachyon build step by step, the X1 Console fast track, monitoring and troubleshooting, Foundation delegation thresholds, and how to keep the node current through v4.0.3.
Registering an X1NS domain takes two minutes and costs 4 XNT for most names. Pricing tiers, the three namespaces, and the primary-domain step people skip.
Resolve any .x1 name to its owner, reverse-lookup an address, or check availability — via browser, REST API, the TypeScript SDK, or straight off-chain.
Creating a token on X1 costs 10 XNT and one transaction. How the bonding curve works, what 100% LP lock really guarantees, and how Degen compares to pump.fun.
pXNT is X1's liquid staking token — stake XNT via X1 Wallet or the delegation portal, receive pXNT that earns validator yield automatically, and put it to work across X1 DeFi.
X1 Wallet is live on Chrome for desktop users. Mobile users can connect Backpack to X1 mainnet using a custom RPC. Here's how to set up both, get your first XNT, and start using the X1 ecosystem.
