Question 1

What is SXT, and what problem does SXT Chain aim to solve?

Accepted Answer

SXT is the native utility token of Space and Time (SXT Chain). The network aims to enable smart contracts and applications to use verifiable data-query and computation results, rather than merely receive an unproven external data conclusion. In this structure, data and computation results need to be verifiable; SXT is used to pay for network services and provide economic coordination for mechanisms that participate in network security and verification. It does not represent corporate equity or a traditional account balance.

Question 2

Which services do SXT network fees correspond to?

Accepted Answer

SXT can be used to pay for network services such as querying data, writing data, and performing verifiable computation. When users request these services, the fees pay for data, computation, and verification resources, rather than being charges generated simply by holding tokens. Final costs vary with the type and scale of services requested: more data, writes, or computation work generally require more network resources. Using fees to pay for network services also does not mean every fee necessarily flows to one type of participant in the same way or proportion.

Question 3

Why must validators stake SXT, and when are they at risk?

Accepted Answer

Validators stake SXT as economic collateral to participate in data commitments and network consensus. Staking gives validators assets that can be constrained when they submit or sign results: if their behavior fails to meet protocol requirements, the consequence is not only reputational and may also involve their staked SXT. Official materials list risks including validator downtime, signing invalid commitments, or attempting to manipulate data, which may lead to slashing. In other words, the verification process aims to combine the technical requirement that results be verifiable with an economic cost for violating that requirement; staking is not a risk-free source of yield.

Question 4

How does delegated SXT staking work, and what conditions do delegators bear?

Accepted Answer

Holders who do not run nodes can delegate SXT to active validators, with validators performing node duties; delegators participate in the relevant validator reward distribution according to their delegated share. In this way, delegators and validators that actually run infrastructure take on different roles. Actual outcomes are affected by validator performance and commissions, and undelegation must follow the protocol cooldown period. Therefore, before delegating, users should consider not only whether rewards exist, but also whether the validator remains active, its commission arrangement, and the time cost of funds not being immediately withdrawable.

Question 5

What role do zero-knowledge proofs play in Space and Time's verifiable computation?

Accepted Answer

Zero-knowledge proofs allow a verifier to confirm that a computation result follows established rules without requiring every verifier to disclose or repeat the entire computation process. Space and Time uses them to prove that query results are consistent with the relevant data commitments. For smart contracts, the key is not only obtaining external or historical data, but being able to verify the relationship between that result and committed data. This explains the difference between what SXT Chain calls “verifiable queries and computation” and ordinary data interfaces that only return results.

Question 6

How are SXT supply allocations and team and investor unlocks structured?

Accepted Answer

The total supply of SXT is 5 billion tokens, of which community allocations account for 51.7%, the team accounts for 22.4%, and investors account for 25.9%. These percentages describe the allocation of each category within total supply and should not be directly equated with the amount tradable on any given date. Team and investor tokens have a 15% unlock milestone in month 12, followed by linear unlocking over four years. Therefore, these two categories do not enter circulation all at once; only the portion released over time gradually increases the amount that can be used.

Question 7

How can I identify and transfer the correct SXT on Ethereum and Base?

Accepted Answer

Official documentation lists the corresponding SXT token addresses on Ethereum mainnet and Base mainnet. They are token representations on different networks; when transferring, depositing, or interacting with contracts, the wallet network, the network supported by the recipient, and the selected contract address must all match. The correct approach is to first find the address for the target network in official documentation, then verify the network name and full address in the wallet or service interface. Do not identify an asset only by the “SXT” ticker or icon, as this may mistake a same-named asset or a representation on another network for the target token.

Question 8

How do network use, staking, and unlocks affect the understanding of SXT?

Accepted Answer

Demand for using SXT may be related to demand for services such as queries, data writes, and verifiable computation: a scenario for paying the corresponding network fees arises only when users need these services. Validator staking and delegation affect how some SXT participates in the network. However, these relationships do not constitute a price commitment. Service usage does not necessarily translate into sustained net buying, and staked assets may become available again once exit conditions are met; supply unlocks, validator performance, and market liquidity can also affect participant behavior.
