The token rewards long-term delegators to the node and funds projects across the Radix ecosystem — its on-ledger [resource metadata](https://dashboard.radixdlt.com/resource/resource_rdx1tkkzy2zg4na22kskk00q50v0kghw89akeh84u60xczxsr0ynes80d5) describes it simply as “Supporting and funding various Radix projects.” _Not to be confused with **MetaXSeed Games ($MXS)**, an unrelated gaming token on Ethereum/Avalanche. Despite the similar name, the Radix $XSE token described here has no connection to that project._ ## Status The node is **active**. Read directly from the ledger on 6 August 2026 at epoch 332574, [XSEED STAKING](https://dashboard.radixdlt.com/validator/validator_rdx1svm98ppmxzft82lykaeudwp3z562dlqk692ws5us5a8lr78ux3v8kr) is registered, accepts delegated stake, holds **100,236,442.14 XRD** — rank 13 of the 188 registered validators by stake — and has recorded **100% uptime over both the trailing week and the trailing month**. It charges a 9.8% validator fee. Its stake units are `resource_rdx1tka…ygjr9dp` and its unstake claim NFTs `resource_rdx1n2v…9a65phv`. This page previously described the project as dormant, on the strength of the figures shown by its own website. That was an error worth naming, because the failure is instructive: [xseedstaking.com](https://www.xseedstaking.com/) renders a live-stats panel reporting **“0 M+” total staked and “1%” uptime** for a node that has not missed a proposal in a month. The site's own dashboard is broken, not the node. A project's website — whether it loads, and whatever numbers it prints — is not evidence about a validator's operational state; the consensus manager is. That rule cuts in both directions, and here it cut against a page that had trusted the presentation layer. What is genuinely stale is the site's editorial content, which has not been substantively revised since 2024, and the [radixdltstaking.com](https://www.radixdltstaking.com/) domain the operation used to run under — still the host of the $XSE icon recorded in the token's on-ledger metadata, and now redirecting to the current domain. ## The halt, and the node's position in it Radix mainnet produced no rounds between **21:19:48.939 UTC on 31 August 2026**, when validators holding more than two thirds of stake [broke liveness deliberately](/contents/history/hyperlane-asset-drain-2026), and 11:35:28.96 UTC on 11 September, when enough of the set was back online running [babylon-node v1.4.0.0, “Eagle Ray”](https://github.com/radixdlt/babylon-node/releases/tag/v1.4.0.0) for consensus to certify a round. The reading below was taken twenty-nine minutes before that. Read from [StakeSafe](/ecosystem/stakesafe)'s [Radix Network Dashboard](https://validators.stakesafe.net) at **11:05 UTC on 11 September 2026**, XSEED STAKING reads **v1.4.0.0** and reads online, at a 9.80% fee and 100.00% recent uptime. Of the forty-one validators carrying Eagle Ray at that reading it is the largest, and because the twelve validators above it all read offline it is also the highest-ranked node on the dashboard that is both upgraded and up. That position is a consequence of how the restart is being run rather than a distinction the operator claimed. The twelve larger validators are [upgraded and deliberately offline](/ecosystem/stakesafe#sweep407-offline-by-design), waiting to boot together once enough of the tail is back, so XSEED heads the upgraded-and-online list by being in the part of the set that is coming back first. Its stake read **98,684,205 XRD**, rank 13 of the hundred validators in the active set, 1.55 million XRD below the 100,236,442.14 XRD this page read from the ledger on 6 August; that movement happened before the stop, because no stake moved during it. Those figures could not be confirmed at the time the way the rest of this page was, and the reason is worth stating: with the network halted the [Gateway](https://mainnet.radixdlt.com/status/gateway-status) refuses state queries outright, answering HTTP 500 at a sync delay of more than ten days, so there is no consensus manager to ask. This page's own rule, that a validator's operational state is evidenced by the ledger and not by a website, has a corollary it did not need until now: while the ledger is stopped, the only live evidence is a third party probing the nodes directly. ## Confirmed from the ledger (12 September 2026) The dashboard reading above can now be checked against the thing it was standing in for. Read from [`/state/validators/list`](https://mainnet.radixdlt.com/state/validators/list) at **15:08 UTC on 12 September 2026**, epoch 340,227, XSEED STAKING is registered, accepts delegated stake, and holds **98,704,580.39 XRD** in its stake vault – rank **13 of the 186 registered validators**, and 20,375 XRD above the figure StakeSafe’s dashboard showed during the halt. The vault’s `last_changed_at_state_version` is 557,940,249, a state committed the same day, so stake is moving again. The substitution held, in other words, and it is worth saying which way. A third party probing the nodes directly is evidence about a validator when the ledger cannot be asked; it is not better evidence than the ledger, and here it was 0.02% low. The rule this page states above survives unchanged: the consensus manager is what settles a validator’s operational state, and everything else is a stand-in for it. ## Token $XSE is a native Radix fungible resource (`resource_rdx1tkk…es80d5`) with 18 decimal places and a **fixed total supply of 10,000,000**. Verified on-ledger on 6 August 2026: its mint, burn, freeze and recall authorities are every one set to `deny_all` and the rule set is **locked**, so no further tokens can ever be created, none can be destroyed, and no authority can later be granted — the supply is immutable in the strong sense rather than merely unused. Withdraw and deposit are `allow_all`, so the token transfers freely. Distribution follows a schedule published by the operator and weighted toward staking rewards, with smaller allocations reserved for long-term delegator bonuses, marketing, team and future projects. ## Staking and Distribution Delegators earn $XSE by staking XRD to the XSEED STAKING validator through the [Radix Wallet](/contents/tech/core-protocols/radix-wallet). Per the operator's published terms, roughly **1 $XSE is distributed for every 20 XRD staked**, subject to a minimum staking period of one month, and the distribution is **capped at 5,000,000 $XSE** — half the fixed supply. XRD rewards accrue from validator emissions in the ordinary way; the $XSE distribution is an additional incentive layered on top by the node operator and is not a protocol feature. ## External Links - [XSEED Staking – Official Website](https://www.xseedstaking.com/) - [XSEED STAKING – Radix Dashboard (validator)](https://dashboard.radixdlt.com/validator/validator_rdx1svm98ppmxzft82lykaeudwp3z562dlqk692ws5us5a8lr78ux3v8kr) - [$XSE – Radix Dashboard (resource)](https://dashboard.radixdlt.com/resource/resource_rdx1tkkzy2zg4na22kskk00q50v0kghw89akeh84u60xczxsr0ynes80d5) - [XSEED Society – Telegram](https://t.me/XSEED_SOCIETY) - [XSEED on X](https://x.com/xseed_radix)
