The network runs on a coin called **X**, and its role must be understood precisely.

  • Base unit **metaX** (18 decimals), displayed **XCoin**, symbol **X**1 X = 10¹⁸ metaX. Addresses look like **xc1…**.
  • Total supply 1 billion X (A0), 500 million X (A1/A2). 0% inflation: validators are paid from a reward_reserve that releases slowly — 4.7565 X per block, i.e. 500M X over 10 years — into fee_collector, so total supply never changes.
  • Block time 3 seconds; with x/gov live, upgrades ship through software-upgrade (no data wipes).

⚠️ These are testnet coins with no monetary value. There is no token sale, no mainnet, and no investment on offer — the numbers exist to make a test network work. If XChain draws you, let it draw you by the mission and the code: right now there is nothing to buy, only something to build.
