Nim Network X Blockmesh - The First XENO Cycle Distribution
Today marks a major milestone for the XENO community: Cycle Distribution #1, one of the largest-scale AI token distributions in crypto to date. This event moves us closer to our vision of establishing genuine community ownership of XENO—particularly for those who have actively contributed to our evolving framework and ecosystem.
Cycle 1 Targeting Data Contributors to Unlock Data Access at Scale
The first XENO cycle is dedicated to those who fuel our AI models with fresh data: the Blockmesh node data contributors. Together with Blockmesh, we created a set of criteria to reward data contributors according to two main parameters:
- Data Contributions: Each contributor’s direct role in collecting more than 20 million data points during this cycle.
- Interactions and Feedback: The level of engagement with our current Xenobot agent through direct interactions and feedback made by real humans.
Tiered Rewards for Contributors
To ensure fairness and simplicity, we’ve established a tier system:
- Tier 1: Top 5,000 contributors can claim 500 $XENO each
- Tier 2: Contributors ranked from 5,000 to 15,000 can claim 100 $XENO each
- Tier 3: Contributors ranked from 15,000 to 35,000 can claim 25 $XENO each
Important Notes
- Adjustable Distribution: The tier system and the total amount of $XENO distributed are not fixed. They can be adjusted based on the volume of contributed data and the number of active contributors.
- Ongoing Opportunities: Anyone not included in this cycle remains eligible for future cycles. We’re committed to including as many contributors as possible.
- Community-Centric: We view data contributors as essential members of the XENO community. Demonstrated loyalty and active engagement may be rewarded in upcoming cycles.
Why We Focus on Data
The X-Box framework is a “data-first” fine-tuning solution. It relies on high-quality, large-scale datasets to power the creation of better AI agents. By partnering with Blockmesh, we gain unparalleled access to vast amounts of real-time data, which is crucial for training models that remain current, contextually relevant, and highly effective.
Advantages of Blockmesh Data Streams
-
Freshness of Data: AI models need up-to-date information to remain relevant. Traditional real-time data solutions often rely on expensive, limited APIs—such as X API, which costs $5k/month for just 1 million tweets. Publicly available open-source datasets (like RoBERTa or UpToVote) can be months or years out of date. Blockmesh solves this with timely, large-scale data gathering.
-
Scale: In addition to freshness, high-quality model training requires vast amounts of data. Collecting 10k labeled examples typically demands 2–10x more raw data—all of which must be thoroughly filtered. Blockmesh makes it possible for us to quickly gather millions of data points, expediting and improving the fine-tuning process.
Looking Ahead: Future XENO Cycles
This first distribution is only the beginning. As XENO continues to evolve, we’ll expand eligibility for future cycle distributions to include:
- Open-source contributors
- AI developers
- Data experts
- Broader communities like Nim Network and Blockmesh
Our commitment is to grow the XENO ecosystem in a way that benefits everyone who helps build it—by contributing data, development, or community support.
