XAI
The Xai Blockchain, developed by Offchain Labs and overseen by the Xai Foundation, was custom-developed to address the needs of web3 gaming at scale. Tailored specifically for gaming, this blockchain offers traditional gamers an abstracted wallet and account experience, provides developers with increased gas and contract limits, and establishes a fully decentralized ecosystem that fosters trust and transparency for all participants. By leveraging Ethereum's robust security measures, the XAI chain cements its resilience against potential hacks and other vulnerabilities
Connect your wallet to XAI
Throughout this guide, we will assume that you are using the Metamask wallet since it is the one most people use, the process of setting up a wallet should be very similar regardless of the wallet you choose
The first step is to open Metamask and select the network icon dropdown menu
When the pop-up appears, click Add Network
The Add a network page will open. Add the following details:
Once you're finished, click Save
You are now connected to the XAI chain
Bridge to XAI
Tokens can be bridged to XAI using the official Arbitrum bridge.
You will need a fraction of ETH to pay for bridging fees from Arbitrum to XAI
Gas on the Xai chain is paid in XAI - therefore, we recommend bridging it as the first token so you can process transactions
Any ERC-20 tokens compatible with Arbitrum can be bridged to XAI - you must input and add the contract address of the token before initiating the bridging process
Visit the Arbitrum Bridge and connect your wallet. Ensure your wallet is set up for Arbitrum. You will see the screen below:
2. Input the amount of XAI (or any other token) you want to transfer to XAI and click Move funds to XAI
3. Confirm the transaction in your wallet
4. The transaction will show as pending on the next page
The bridging transfer should take approximately 1 minute, but it may take longer during periods of high traffic
