Cross Power (xP): The Engine Behind zkCross Participation

In most DeFi ecosystems, participation resets every time you close the tab.

You trade, stake, test, and bridge and that contribution fades into a ledger that only counts transactions, not users. zkCross Network introduces Cross Power (xP) as a rewards system that remembers what platforms often ignore: you were here, and your presence mattered.

Cross Power (xP) is not a token for speculation. It is the participation currency of the zkCross Network, designed to record, reward, and elevate every interaction made across the ecosystem. From staking to governance, from testing to liquidity routing, xP turns regular DeFi usage into something cumulative. It lives within the infrastructure not as an afterthought but as a layer that grows with you.

This rewards system is already active across Stellar and Partisia through the zkCross Frontier Program. Whenever you trade, bridge, stake, or show up on zkCross, xP begins to track that path.

The Core of xP: A System That Measures Intent

xP operates as a minted-on-use rewards mechanism. Each time you take part in the zkCross ecosystem, whether by executing swaps, connecting a wallet, or staking, you generate xP tokens via a built-in multiplier system. There are no dashboards to refresh or portals to manually claim from. xP runs quietly in the background, tallying what traditional ledgers overlook.

It distinguishes between users who just visit and those who engage. It rewards interaction, not token holding. And because xP has no supply cap, it scales with real usage, minted and burned dynamically depending on how the network evolves.

While $CROSSAI remains the core asset with a finite supply, xP is structured for flexibility. You do not need to own xP to benefit from it; you earn it by showing up.

One Program, All Connected

The zkCross Frontier Program is the canvas for xP accumulation. Currently deployed across two chains, Stellar and Partisia, it brings together distinct user environments into one connected system.

• On Stellar, xP is tied to swaps, fiat onboarding, and token routing via zkCrossDEX.
• On Partisia, it tracks wallet connections, bridge usage, and other liquidity interactions (staking will be supported in a future phase).

Even tools like MetaMask Snaps, Koala Wallet, or PartiWallet contribute to your xP score simply by being used. xP functions as a chain-agnostic layer that follows your actions across environments. Whether you’re bridging on one chain or trading on another, your xP grows. Passive involvement, like participating in a demo, joining a TG quiz, or giving feedback, will also be included in future updates.

Start earning xP

There are multiple ways to accumulate xP, each designed to flow with natural DeFi interaction. You earn without needing to alter your path or complete quests only. Examples include:

• Performing on-chain or cross-chain swaps
• Bridging across chains
• Staking $CROSSAI and providing liquidity to DEX pools or bridges
• Interacting with connected wallets across zkCrossDEX
• Participating in demo days, submitting feedback, or completing community tasks

Each action carries an xP multiplier. For instance, if you stake 100,000 $CROSSAI at 12% APY and the multiplier is 2x, you receive 24,000 xP over the year, credited as a reflection of your presence and value to the network.

This process is seamless. There is no unlock required, no snapshot window, no form to fill. The interaction is the entry point.

What xP Unlocks: From Recognition to Utility

xP is not about collecting badges. It is designed to have functional value inside zkCross Network:

• Discount NFTs: Redeem xP to mint fee-saving NFTs (Voyager, Explorer, Conqueror, Pioneer, Navigator), valid across zkCross tools.
• Merchandise & Access: Use xP to access branded drops, exclusive events, or private developer streams.
• Governance: Submit and vote on proposals by paying a governance tax in xP, ensuring that signal leads discussion.
• Deflation Mechanics: xP used in governance or minting is periodically burned to balance supply growth with system stability.

Soon, xP tiers will be integrated into wallets. Frontier campaigns will scale rewards by xP, not just volume. Visibility will belong to users who actually engage, not those who arrived late but loud.
