FAQ

1. What is XStar?

XStar is an omnichain identity protocol with proof of humanity on blockchain and omnichain naming services. By using an adaptive humanity scoring system integrated into blockchain names, it verifies real human identities on blockchain against AI duplications and sybil attacks.

1.1 XStar consists of the following components:

1. XID: A universal blockchain identity (XID Passport),designed to W3C standards, it integrates with XStar’s other components, XNAME, XHS and tokenomics.

2. XNAME: An omnichain naming service that not only resolves blockchain wallet addresses but also integrates with the XID Passport

3. XHS: An adaptive humanity scoring system that verifies users through biometric data, social network analysis, and physical event participation.

4. Points: On-chain loyalty points redeemable for future tokens and other XStar ecosystem benefits.

5. $XNAME: The native token used for staking to earn bonus Points and launching new top-level domains on XNAME.

2. Why should we have XID (XStar ID)?

Imagine having a single digital passport that opens doors across the entire blockchain universe. That's what XID offers—a universal identity that simplifies and secures your on-chain interactions . With XHS, XID verifies your personhood, ensuring your privacy is safeguarded. The magic doesn't stop there; biometric verification transforms XID into your unique on-chain ID, making your digital presence authentic and secure.

Designed to W3C standards, XID guarantees compatibility and reliability across various platforms. Plus, with XNAME, you can choose a unique, personalized name, making your digital identity truly yours. The possibilities are endless—whether it's Universal Basic Income, social network, gaming, and more, XID is your key to a revolutionary digital experience.

3. What is XHS?

XHS (Adaptive Humanity Scoring System) verifies user identities through biometric data, social graph analysis, and offline event participation, ensuring privacy with Zero-Knowledge Proofs. Based on the results, users are assigned different XHS levels, with higher levels granting increased benefits and rewards within the XStar ecosystem, such as higher Points reward ratios, more access to ecosystem applications, and greater community governance rights.

3.1 What’s the benefit for keeping a higher XHS Rank?

The XHS (Adaptive Humanity Scoring System) rank is divided into four levels and affects the number of XNAME tokens users can redeem with their Points. The higher the XHS level, the more XNAME tokens can be obtained through Points redemption:

• XHS in the top 5%: Points can be redeemed for XNAME tokens at a rate of 1.5 times the base amount.

• XHS in the top 25%: Points can be redeemed for XNAME tokens at a rate of 1.25 times the base amount.

• XHS in the top 25% - 50%: Points can be redeemed for XNAME tokens at the base rate.

• XHS below 50%: Points can be redeemed for XNAME tokens at a rate of 0.5 times the base amount.

XHS Rank	XHS Badge	Point Multiplier
Top 5%	Gold	1.5
Top 25%	Silver	1.25
Top 25% - 50%	Bronze	1
Below 50%	Base	0.5

3.2 How does XHS ensure privacy?

User control of biometric and non-biometric information. With universal 3D FaceVectors provided as a secure format for sharing 3D facial data without containing any image data, ensuring optimal privacy for applications where data protection is paramount.

3.3 How can I increase my XHS?

Here are five different ways to increase XHS: Account Connect, Activity Score, Referral, Bio Connect, and Offline Events. Please joined at https://xname.app/xhs.

Social Connect	X.com & Discord & Telegram & Farcaster & Email: 50 XHS.
Referral	10 XHS for each referral, up to a maximum of 200.
Bio Connect	First facial verification: 2000 XHS; Subsequent: 2000 + (n-1) x 200 XHS (n = 1, 2, 3,...); Scores reset every 6 months; re-verification needed.
Activity Score	X and Discord scores are updated periodically. Refer to the table below.
Offline Events	Depends on the attendees number of the event.

4. What is XNAME?

XNAME provides unique, human-readable domain names for cross-chain identities, simplifying user experience and enhancing identity recognition. We’re using cross-chain messaging protocols Axelar & LayerZero to provide secured experience for our users. XID users can select a unique XNAME to be their universal XID passport name

4.1 How does XNAME work?

XNAME is a decentralized naming system that connects to decentralized identities (DIDs), allowing users to create a human-readable name for their wallet addresses across different blockchain networks. This name can include personal information, reputation scores, and social connections. To set up your XNAME, choose a unique suffix, set it as your primary name on your preferred network, and sync it across all supported blockchains. XNAME simplifies transactions and interactions across various applications, including social networks, gaming, DeFi, DAOs, and NFT marketplaces, by providing a unified identity that can be easily resolved on any supported network.

4.2 What is the benefit of using XNAME compared to other naming services?

1. Multi-chain registration: XNAME allows you to register your domain name on multiple blockchain networks. You can choose a suitable suffix on any supported chain, without necessarily paying high gas fees on the Ethereum mainnet. This flexibility enables you to select a Layer 2 solution that fits your needs and budget.

2. Cross-chain resolution: Once you register your name on one chain, it can be resolved and used on other supported chains without the need to repeat the registration process. This feature provides a seamless experience across different blockchain networks.

3. Humanity proof with your blockchain identity: XNAME serves as a passport for your human identity in the blockchain ecosystem. With a single XNAME, others can easily query your associated wallet address and check your XHS(adaptive humanity score). This unique feature sets XNAME apart from other naming service providers.

5. How can I increase my XStar Points?

XStar Points is an on-chain loyalty membership system.
