What is XION?
XION is a blockchain platform designed for universal accessibility through chain abstraction. By employing its Generalized Abstraction layer, XION uniquely integrates sophisticated blockchain functionalities—such as accounts, signatures, and interoperability—directly at the protocol level. This methodology enables users to interact with blockchain applications without the necessity of understanding the underlying technology. XION serves as the native utility token and is used for various purposes, including: * Network Usage Fees: Transactions on the XION network incur fees, which are creatively used to offset the minting of new tokens. This system implies that increased network usage may lead to a deflationary token model due to the offsetting of fees. * Proof of Stake Security: As a proof-of-stake network, XION depends on validators for maintaining its security. Holders of the $XION token can delegate their tokens to validators or stake their tokens to operate their own validator nodes. Moreover, the XION network calculates inflation based solely on staked tokens rather than the total token supply, significantly reducing overall inflation and resulting in more sustainable network economics. * Governance: Holders of the $XION token can actively engage in network governance by proposing and voting on various initiatives. * Medium of Exchange & Collateral: Within the ecosystem, $XION can be used as native liquidity and collateral. Additionally, it facilitates peer-to-peer transactions across applications and accounts in the XION ecosystem.
