Fueling Xahau's operations is its native token, Xahau XRP (XRP+), designed to incentivize validators and empower smart contracts. XRP+ functions as the network's utility token, facilitating transactions and network services. With a supply determined through various amendments, including burned XRP from the XRPL and monthly balance adjustments, the ecosystem's vitality is maintained.
The initial distribution of 600 million Xahau XRP, divided among validators and stakeholders, underscores the commitment to a vibrant and thriving ecosystem.
This momentous unveiling reflects developers' dedication to reshaping the landscape of XRP Ledger. Xahau's integration of smart contracts within the XRPL ecosystem can pave the way for a new era of efficiency, security and innovation.
