XEN Crypto is a social mining project that aims to build a community of like-minded individuals. The XEN token is the native cryptocurrency of the XEN Crypto ecosystem, which operates on the Ethereum blockchain using the ERC20 token standard. XEN Crypto is unique in its approach as it operates on a Proof-of-Participation (PoP) protocol, differentiating it from Proof-of-Stake (PoS) or Proof-of-Work (PoW) tokens. This means that ownership rights are granted to those who participate in the creation of XEN and hold their coins through self-custody. XEN Crypto aims to maintain transparency and equitable treatment of all participants by eliminating pre-minting, admin keys, and origin (OA) wallets.

XEN Crypto operates on the Ethereum blockchain as an ERC-20 token, secured through Proof-of-Stake. This mechanism uses validators to confirm transactions, with validators staking 32 ETH to participate in consensus and validating transactions. The supply of XEN is created solely through the minting of coins by individuals participating in the Proof-of-Participation (PoP) protocol, with no initial supply of coins available for the cryptocurrency. XEN Crypto provides users with similar functionality to an ERC20 token, allowing them to trade other cryptocurrencies and NFTs. It aims to achieve maximum liquidity through widespread adoption.

XEN Crypto aims to provide users with a platform for social mining, fostering a community of like-minded individuals. Users can mint XEN tokens using compatible wallets, and the tokens can be used to trade other cryptocurrencies and NFTs. XEN Crypto also aims to connect to various ecosystems to create liquidity pools and limit orders. The tokenomics of XEN are disinflationary due to the naturally sloping adoption curve, which follows a logarithmic pattern, making it increasingly difficult to mint more tokens as more participants join. This ensures that its tokenomics remain disinflationary, even though XEN does not have a cap.

XEN Crypto was launched in October 2022 by the Fair Crypto Foundation. The creator of XEN Crypto is Jack Levin, who is reportedly a former Google executive. After the Ethereum Merge, XEN used nearly 50% of Ethereum's block size at one point, dominating the burn leaderboard and causing a rise in ETH gas prices. This led to a decline in ETH supply for a period of time. Since its launch, XEN Crypto has been made available on various platforms and has been made available on various other chains.
