Participate in the Xandeum ecosystem.

Xandeum participation spans builders, storage operators, stakers, XAND holders, liquidity providers, and community members. The strongest path depends on whether you want to build, operate, govern, or follow the network.

Overview

Pick a role before picking a link.

Start by choosing the role. Governance, staking, pNode operation, delegation, and updates each lead to a different next step.

The Xandeum ecosystem includes several participation paths, and each supports a different part of the network. Use this page to understand what each action does, where it leads, and which official resource to verify before committing funds or infrastructure.

  • Use official pages before taking financial action.
  • Check current eligibility, dates, and program terms.
  • Rewards and access paths can change as the network evolves.

What it means

Ways to engage with the network.

Each path shows what the role supports, why it matters, and which official page should come next.

Stakers

Stake SOL for xandSOL

The xandSOL path is for users who want to participate through liquid staking around Solana while staying connected to the Xandeum ecosystem.

Open xandSOL
Governance

Stake XAND in the DAO

XAND holders can use the DAO access page to reach official governance and staking resources, review proposal context, and participate with the right wallet when actions are available.

Open DAO
Operators

Run a pNode

pNode operators provide the storage infrastructure that Xandeum depends on. Start with the setup guide, then review STOINC and XFDP to understand reward and delegation context.

Rewards

Understand STOINC

STOINC connects real storage usage to wSOL reward pools. It is the clearest place to understand how pNode infrastructure can participate in usage-based economics.

STOINC
Delegation

Review XFDP

The Xandeum Foundation Delegation Program explains foundation delegation mechanics for licensed pNode operators and the criteria used for ongoing participation.

Community

Follow updates and liquidity context

Blog updates collect current announcements, liquidity context, reward changes, DAO changes, and operator notes in a format that is easier to audit over time.

System view

How this connects to the ecosystem.

The ecosystem view connects builders, operators, and governance back to one storage network.

Builders create storage demand

Applications that use Xandeum storage are what make the infrastructure useful. Developer adoption is the long-term driver behind the network.

Operators supply capacity

pNodes provide storage and service quality. STOINC and XFDP are designed around useful, reliable infrastructure rather than abstract participation alone.

Governance shapes the system

XAND holders and DAO participants help steer decisions, staking, and governance context around the network as it evolves.

Community

Support liquidity, staking, and governance participation.

  • Stake SOL for xandSOL
  • Stake XAND in DAO
  • Provide liquidity

Helps the token and governance layer stay active around the storage network.

Builders

Create applications that need larger, verifiable data storage.

  • Read the docs
  • Use file systems
  • Build storage-enabled dApps

Turns Xandeum storage into useful applications and real network demand.

Read docs
Operators

Run infrastructure that stores, serves, and verifies data.

  • Run a pNode
  • Run a validator
  • Review XFDP

Adds storage capacity, reliability, and eligible operator support paths.

Operator guide

All paths support the storage network from a different angle.

Builders create demand, operators provide infrastructure, and the community supports liquidity and governance. STOINC and XFDP are operator-focused programs.
