XR One Network guide

Participate in building and securing the decentralized XR One Network

A growing number of ecosystems are building their own blockchain network in order to gain market share and allow for infinite scalability, and XR One is leading the pack. DappRadar PRO members can enjoy premium benefits through a major discount on node sales. 

XR One describes itself as a Layer-3 Orbit chain, built by Salwater Labs. The network receives support from Offchain Labs and Arbitrum, both supporting the XR Foundation. The network envisions to power unique PVP and AI-enhanced video games. Moreover, these digital experiences integrated with XR One leverage the XR token for player rewards, marketplace fees, governance and more. 

XR One Network and Hero Nodes explained

XR One is an Orbit network on top of Arbitrum, which means it benefits from EVM compatibility, low gas fees, account abstraction, network security and XR as a gas token. Furthermore, the network can further expand its decentralization through Hero Nodes. These community-operated and governed nodes expand the network, increase decentralization and better align XR One with the general views from blockchain enthusiasts. 

Benefits for node operators

  • As the owner of a node, you earn a linearly distributed amount of tokens for each time period, better known as epoch. Within the tokenomics the team has set 15% apart for node operators. This will be distributed over 30 months. 
  • Node operators also earn rewards through transaction fees collected from games and apps running on the network. Rewards grow as the network grows. 
  • Node holders can receive airdrops from projects launching on XR One.
  • In addition, Node holders can govern the XR One Network, have a say in its future, and build their own reputation within the ecosystem. 

XR One has the ambition to reward node operators in more ways as well. For example, they want to distribute rewards based on computational demands. Other future features may include AI processing or graphics rendering through GPU hardware, for which node operators will obviously be compensated.

There’s a total of 15,000 nodes available for sale, and prices go up as more nodes are sold. Node holders generate rewards paid in XR tokens. In addition, XR tokens will be airdropped to node holders and partner communities, which include KIP, Rivalz, ETH Lizards, KAP and MON. Rewards increase as the community purchases more Hero Nodes, with rewards reaching up to 1% of the XR token supply.

XR One Hero Node Sale FAQ

What is a node sale? 

Through a node sale, a project will allow others to contribute to the network by running a node. While supply and type of nodes vary per project, these node sales have become a common method to decentralize a network and raise funds for future development. 

What do you get when buying a node? 

Users that contribute funds during the Hero Node sale will mint an NFT or NFTs to represent their ownership over a Hero Node. You will need a node NFT to operate future computer software, and only when holding the NFT can you receive rewards. 

Can I buy a node and sell with profit? 

No, right now the XR One Node Sale comes with a 13-month lock up period. That means you can’t sell the NFTs for a year. However, after that time period you can sell and give node NFTs to other willing participants in the network.
