Stake XNT with the LUX8 X1 Validator

X1 runs the Solana Virtual Machine, so staking works exactly like Solana: you delegate from your own wallet and your XNT never changes hands. LUX8 operates an X1 validator on the same infrastructure as its Solana nodes. Commission and total stake below are live, pulled from our public data feed.

Live figures fetched from lux8.net/data.json, the same feed used on the homepage. X1 is a young network — rewards depend on inflation and total stake, so no fixed APY is promised here.

Verify Before You Delegate

Never take a validator's word for it — check the on-chain identity yourself. This is the LUX8 vote account on X1 mainnet:

Compare it against every other operator on the X1 validator list, which shows commission, stake and vote performance for the whole network.

Why Delegate to LUX8

Non-custodial by design

Delegating creates a stake account owned by your wallet. LUX8 can never move, spend or withdraw your XNT — it only votes and produces blocks on your behalf.

Same operations as mainnet Solana

X1 is an SVM chain, so it runs on the same tooling, monitoring and failover practice LUX8 uses for its Solana validators — not a side experiment.

Transparent, live numbers

Commission and total delegated stake are published live on this page. No stale marketing figures and no promised yield.

Decentralisation matters

Stake spread across independent operators makes X1 harder to disrupt. LUX8 is an independent operator, not part of a large staking conglomerate.

How to Stake XNT on X1

01

Hold XNT in your own wallet

X1 uses Solana-compatible wallets. Keep a small amount of XNT unstaked to cover transaction fees.

02

Open the X1 Stake Manager

Go to x1.stake-manager.net and connect your wallet. The app is non-custodial: it builds the transaction, your wallet signs it.

03

Pick the LUX8 validator

Select the validator with vote account 6AXWpc…PWnDn, or open its page directly from the link at the top of this guide, then enter the amount to delegate.

04

Confirm and wait for the next epoch

Your wallet signs the delegation; a stake account is created under your control. Stake activates at the next epoch boundary and starts earning from then on.

X1 Staking FAQ

What is X1 and what is XNT?

X1 (formerly Xolana) is a Solana Virtual Machine chain, so it uses the same validator and delegation model as Solana: validators run vote accounts and holders delegate to them from their own wallets. XNT is the native token, used for staking and fees.

How do I stake XNT with LUX8?

Open x1.stake-manager.net, connect the wallet holding your XNT, choose the LUX8 validator, enter an amount and confirm. A stake account is created that stays under your control; delegation activates from the next epoch.

Is staking XNT on X1 non-custodial?

Yes. The stake account belongs to your wallet. LUX8 never holds, moves or withdraws your XNT. You can deactivate and withdraw at any time, subject to the network's cooldown period.

How do I choose an X1 validator?

Check commission, vote reliability and how much stake the operator already holds. Spreading delegation across independent operators rather than concentrating it in the largest ones keeps the validator set decentralised. Compare every operator on the X1 validator list.

When do rewards start?

Stake activates at the next epoch boundary and earns from then on, following the same warm-up rules as Solana. Rewards depend on network inflation, total stake and validator performance, which is why this page shows live figures instead of a promised yield.

Can I stake on other networks with LUX8?

Yes — LUX8 also validates on Solana, NEAR, Monad and Kusama. Each network has its own staking guide.
