Question 1

What is XPLA?

Accepted Answer

XPLA is the native staking token of CONX Chain. Holders can use it to delegate to validators, participate in on-chain governance, and pay the gas fees required for on-chain transactions; these uses connect the token to network security, governance decisions, and transaction processing respectively. Here, “native” means that XPLA is an asset used at the network protocol layer, rather than an ordinary token deployed independently by an application. Current documentation calls the network CONX Chain and describes XPLA as its native staking token.

Question 2

How can XPLA participate in the network?

Accepted Answer

Holders can delegate XPLA to a validator to increase that validator's staking weight without operating a validator node themselves. Validators participate in operating the blockchain; delegators participate in staking indirectly through their chosen validator and may receive rewards distributed by that validator. Delegation does not mean selling tokens to the validator: the tokens remain associated with the delegator's staking position, but reward outcomes are affected by the validator's commission and actual operational performance. Therefore, both commission and operational status affect a delegator's actual returns when selecting a validator.

Question 3

Can staked XPLA be traded immediately?

Accepted Answer

No. Delegated XPLA cannot be used as a freely transferable balance; after undelegation is initiated, tokens undergo an unbonding period that is normally 21 days, and become available again only after it ends. The purpose of the unbonding period is to prevent staking weight from disappearing immediately during network operation. According to the current description, the position does not generate staking rewards while it is being undelegated; therefore, undelegation affects both liquidity and subsequent reward eligibility.

Question 4

Where do XPLA staking rewards come from?

Accepted Answer

XPLA staking rewards are linked to gas fees collected by the network, rather than relying on current inflationary issuance. Users must include sufficient gas when submitting transactions; gas fees in each block enter the reward pool and are then distributed by validators to their delegators. The amount ultimately received by a delegator depends not only on the amount delegated, but also on validator commission and reward-distribution outcomes. Since transactions with insufficient gas are not processed, gas is both a transaction-processing cost and a prerequisite for reward funds to enter the system.

Question 5

Is XPLA currently continuously issued through inflation?

Accepted Answer

Under the current parameters, XPLA has a fixed annual inflation rate of 0%, so the protocol does not continuously issue additional XPLA at a positive inflation rate to supplement staking rewards. The current reward mechanism should be understood together with the funding source of transaction gas fees entering the reward pool. The mint module remains the protocol module responsible for creating new XPLA, but “the existence of a mint module” does not mean that issuance is currently occurring at positive annual inflation. The available materials also do not provide a maximum supply from which one can derive such a conclusion, so zero inflation must not be described as a fixed total-supply cap.

Question 6

What role does XPLA play in governance?

Accepted Answer

XPLA can be used for on-chain governance on CONX Chain: holders can express their views on governance proposals, and proposals can pass only after meeting approval conditions such as the quorum specified in the rules. Holding tokens does not mean every proposal takes effect automatically. Governance is not the same process as staking or paying gas fees. The former handles collective decisions on network rules or parameters, while the latter two serve network security and transaction execution respectively; one asset serving multiple functions does not mean those functions confer the same eligibility or outcomes.

Question 7

How are XPLA transaction fees determined?

Accepted Answer

On CONX Chain, gas is the sole fee applicable to all transactions. It covers the computational cost of validating and processing transactions; a transaction must include sufficient gas to be processed. Validators can set a minimum gas fee. Gas estimated by wallets is often above the minimum to increase the likelihood of completing a transaction, and unused gas is not refunded; transactions are not ordered by bidding on gas amounts, but processed in order of receipt. Thus, for users, gas both determines whether a transaction can be processed and constitutes the actual network cost paid.
