2) Submit Staking Portal Form and Create your XID

Before you can begin staking, you must submit an XIO Staking Portal Form. It is important you enter the information as carefully as possible.

During this process, you will be given a unique XIO Citizen Identifier (XID). This XID will be emailed to you after completion of the form and used to identify your social interactions and impact for each startup.

3) Review Email and Complete Necessary Tasks

The email you receive will have a list of instructions on what you need to do to whitelist your XID. Each startup comes up with these tasks individually.

You may also see bonus rewards at the bottom of the email to earn XIO. These are optional, additional tasks you can do to receive additional XIO based on your efforts alone!

If you did not receive an email, make sure to check your spam.

4) Stake Your XIO!

At any point in time (but before December 15th) you can Stake your XIO. Remember, if you don’t complete the tasks, your XID will not be whitelisted.

To Stake, you simply send your XIO (any amount you want) to the designated ETH Address as identified in the email.

You may notice that we are experimenting with ENS (.ETH) Domains. If you are not comfortable or familiar with ENS, you can send your XIO directly to the long character ETH address provided.

Disclaimer

By participating in any XIO Staking, you understand that the XIO Foundation is not responsible for any tokens sent to or from invalid addresses. The address you are sending from will be the same exact address you receive your XIO + 1UP tokens in return. The responsibility for reward payouts falls solely on the individual startups, not the XIO Foundation.

What the Future Holds

If at any point in this XIO Staking process you feel this system is a little time consuming, confusing, or non-efficient; it’s because you are right.

In the startup world, there is a common term called Minimal Viable Product (MVP). This refers to the bare-bones testing ground of getting a product into the world with as little amount of time, energy, and resources as possible to test the validity of an idea.

This is our MVP. This is our Rome on Day 1. This is XIO v0.0001.

It will only get better from here and we could not be more appreciative of those of you jumping through hoopla hoops with us. You are an early adopter and we love it.

In the future, this entire process will be decentralized, automated, and simplified through the XIO Dapp. Here is a little glimpse of what to get excited about.
