# XO — Value Anchor

XO is the Value Anchor of the NEXON narrative and, today, the Staking Principal Token: settled every 12 hours, with all three reward streams paid in XO.

XO carries a long-term positioning and a precise current function under one name.

In the NEXON narrative, XO is the **Value Anchor**: the side associated with staking, participation, governance and long-term value. In the current mechanism, XO is the **Staking Principal Token** used inside the Staking Platform.

The second sentence defines what happens now; the first explains why that function matters to the ecosystem.

## Name and narrative role <a href="#name-and-narrative-role" id="name-and-narrative-role"></a>

`X` stands for cross-domain connection and possibility. `O` stands for the closed loop and settled value. Together, XO names an asset that **durable participation can be organised around.**

"Value Anchor" describes the ecosystem role: XO carries the long-cycle half of the two-asset model, and EXON carries active circulation.

## The current mechanical role <a href="#the-current-mechanical-role" id="the-current-mechanical-role"></a>

XO supply is 1 billion, trading freely on the NEX secondary market. When a deposit is staked, everything beyond the 28% fuel portion is swapped into XO and staked; earning starts on staking.

**Settlement every 12 hours, 0.3% – 1.0% each time, at 08:00 and 20:00 Beijing time.** 1,000 USDT staked earns 6 – 20 USDT a day. The longer the term, the higher the bonus — set by term alone, never by amount:

| Term                        |     30 days |       90 days |      180 days |      360 days |    540 days |
| --------------------------- | ----------: | ------------: | ------------: | ------------: | ----------: |
| Bonus                       |        base |          +10% |          +20% |          +30% |        +50% |
| 1,000 USDT staked · per day | 6 – 20 USDT | 6.6 – 22 USDT | 7.2 – 24 USDT | 7.8 – 26 USDT | 9 – 30 USDT |
| Cumulative lock             |  1,200 days |    1,170 days |    1,080 days |      900 days |    540 days |

Static rewards, referral rewards and leadership bonuses are **all paid in XO**, settled in the same cycle as static rewards. Rewards can be withdrawn at any time; once 100 USDT has accrued it can be staked as a new order, and the principal keeps compounding.

Day 31 is the exit window of the 30-day term: principal plus 30 days of rewards, no penalty. Miss the window and the order renews automatically, 90 → 180 → 360 → 540 days. Open a 540-day term directly and the bonus is +50% with a cumulative lock of only 540 days. Minimum order 100 USDT.

## Governance and wider rights (Roadmap) <a href="#governance-and-wider-rights" id="governance-and-wider-rights"></a>

Governance is one of the functions of XO (Roadmap). The rules for proposals, voting and execution are published together with the governance framework, and at minimum they spell out:

* what is in scope and what is not;
* eligibility, thresholds and delegation;
* proposal, quorum, voting and execution flow;
* conflicts of interest and concentration of holdings;
* emergency actions, appeals and parameter changes.

Rights based on XO in the Marketplace, the card or the Social App are defined by that product's terms: what the right is, what funds it, who is eligible, how long it lasts, how it changes.

## Relationship to the product ecosystem <a href="#relationship-to-the-product-ecosystem" id="relationship-to-the-product-ecosystem"></a>

The Wallet shows XO positions, terms, settlement history and withdrawal status; PayFi can explain or simulate a staking order; the Social App provides participation context. **None of these interfaces creates a second reward mechanism or changes the confirmed calculation.**

## XO in three sentences <a href="#xo-in-three-sentences" id="xo-in-three-sentences"></a>

1. **Narrative**: XO is NEXON's Value Anchor, carrying long-term ecosystem value.
2. **Current mechanism**: XO is the Staking Principal Token, settled every 12 hours at 0.3% – 1.0%, with all three reward streams paid in XO, trading freely on NEX.
3. **Opening with each entry point**: governance and wider ecosystem rights, as their rules are published (Roadmap).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://nexon-3.gitbook.io/nexon-docs/part-v-economics/05-tokenomics/xo.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
