Influencer Validation

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.

Comparison: Collaborator vs. Validator

Aspect	Collaborator	Validator
Role	Passive (delegate stake)	Active (network maintenance)
Technical Skill	Minimal	High (node operation, AI/blockchain expertise)
Risk	Slashing if validator misbehaves	Slashing + operational risks
Rewards	Proportional to stake, minus validator fee	Fees + block rewards + governance influence
Requirements	$XCX tokens	$XCX stake + technical infrastructure

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. 🚀
