A Structured Guide

Becoming a Collaborator

Role Overview: Collaborators passively contribute to the ecosystem by delegating their influence (likely via staking $XCX tokens) to AI Luminaries (AILs) managed by validators. This allows earning rewards without direct involvement in AIL operations.

Steps to Become a Collaborator:

  1. **Acquire XCXTokens∗∗:PurchaseorearnXCXTokens∗∗:PurchaseorearnXCX through contributions, staking, or ecosystem participation.

  2. Choose a Validator:

    • Access the Influencer Validation System dashboard.

    • Evaluate validators based on performance metrics (e.g., uptime, rewards history, commission rates).

  3. Delegate Influence:

    • Stake $XCX tokens to a selected validator. This delegates voting/validation power to them.

  4. Earn Rewards:

    • Receive a share of rewards generated by the AIL’s activities (e.g., revenue from content, ads, or interactions).

    • Rewards are distributed proportionally to your staked amount, minus validator fees.

Key Considerations:

  • Risk: Potential slashing (penalties) if a validator acts maliciously or underperforms (exact mechanics depend on Xeleb’s implementation).

  • Flexibility: Unstake/redelegate tokens to other validators at any time.


Becoming a Validator

Role Overview: Validators actively maintain the network by validating AIL activities, optimizing performance, and ensuring ecosystem integrity. This role requires technical expertise and upfront investment.

Steps to Become a Validator (Anticipated):

  1. Meet Technical Requirements:

    • Run a node with sufficient hardware (CPU, RAM, storage).

    • Maintain high uptime (e.g., 99%+).

  2. Stake $XCX Tokens:

    • Lock a minimum amount of $XCX as collateral (to deter malicious behavior).

  3. Register as a Validator:

    • Submit an application via Xeleb’s governance portal (details TBA).

  4. Validate AIL Activities:

    • Verify AIL outputs (e.g., content, transactions) and participate in consensus.

    • Optimize AIL performance (e.g., fine-tuning models, resolving disputes).

  5. Earn Rewards:

    • Receive fees from collaborators’ delegated stakes.

    • Earn additional $XCX from block rewards or ecosystem revenue.

Key Considerations:

  • Slashing: Penalties for downtime, double-signing, or malicious acts.

  • Reputation: Performance metrics (e.g., accuracy, speed) will affect delegator trust.

  • Governance: Validators may vote on protocol upgrades or policy changes.

Security & Decentralization

  • Anti-Sybil Measures: Validators may need identity verification or high staking thresholds.

  • Governance: Collaborators influence decisions indirectly via delegated stakes; validators have direct voting power.

  • Transparency: Validator performance metrics (e.g., uptime, rewards) are publicly auditable.


Next Steps

  • For Collaborators: Start delegating $XCX through the AI Influencer Validation System.

  • For Validators: Await program launch details (monitor Xeleb’s announcements for staking requirements and tools).

Stay Updated:

  • Join Xeleb’s community channels (Discord, Telegram) for validator program updates.

  • Participate in testnets or early-access phases to prepare.

By participating as a collaborator or validator, you help secure the Xeleb ecosystem while earning rewards. Collaborators enable network growth passively, while validators drive its technical and operational excellence. 🚀
