Token economics

The ERC-20 $XDEFI token was designed by Delphi Digital ($AXS, $YGG, $PERP) and powers the broader XDEFI Wallet ecosystem. Token holders will be able to stake their tokens, receive swap fee rebates, claim staking rewards and participate in governance systems.

$XDEFI will also be leveraged in the Play to (L)earn initiative scheduled to start in Q1 2022, which will incentivise users to learn how to safely use non-custodial wallets and discover new DeFi products.

Use of funds

We will use the IDO proceeds to continue to invest in the XDEFI Wallet experience. Our short term product priorities include plans to:

Deepen our existing integrations with LUNA, RUNE and our 7 other supported chains
Integrate SOL, AVAX and FTM
Launch the XDEFI Wallet mobile app, web app and cross-chain API
Launch a multichain DEX aggregator within the wallet.

To achieve these results, we intend to continue to grow the XDEFI Wallet team by recruiting top talent from across the industry.

In addition, US$1M from the IDO will be used as a grant to contribute to the xchain.js development. Xchain.js is an open-source cross-chain library.

Note: The $XDEFI IDO was not open to persons or legal entities located in a jurisdiction where the holding of, or the use of, Cryptocurrency violates applicable law or regulations.
