Xai was developed to enable real economies and open trade in the next generation of video games. With Xai, potentially billions of traditional gamers can own and trade valuable in-game items in their favorite games for the first time, without the need to use crypto-wallets.
Xai is a gaming-optimized Layer 2 mainnet built with Arbitrum Orbit, using XAI as the native gas token. It powers on-chain game economies—minting and trading in-game assets, real-time gameplay logic, and gasless or subsidized player transactions—plus seamless bridging to and from Ethereum/Arbitrum for liquidity and asset portability.
Xai’s edge comes from Arbitrum AnyTrust DA for ultra-low fees and sub-second block times, EVM compatibility, and walletless onboarding with meta-transactions tailored for games, plus community-operated Sentry Nodes that share in network fees. Security is anchored to Ethereum while providing dedicated blockspace for games to avoid L2 congestion. For quick comparison: average fees are typically under $0.01 per transaction, blocks confirm in under a second, practical throughput reaches hundreds of TPS (with ~4,000+ TPS headroom from Arbitrum), and daily activity often spans hundreds of thousands to millions of transactions during major launches.
Xai uses XAI as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain XAI by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge.
To bridge XAI to Xai, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select Xai as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
To build on Xai you can use thirdweb, which provides an easy way to build, monetize and scale your apps, games or agents. You can find detailed guides and documentation on https://portal.thirdweb.com to get started quickly.
To add Xai to your wallet, you can connect your wallet and click on [Add to Wallet] button at the top of the page. Alternatively, you can add the network manually using the RPC URL and chain details and add it to your wallet's network settings.
To send XAI on Xai, ensure your wallet is connected to the Xai network, enter the recipient's address, specify the amount of XAI to send, review the gas fee, and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
