Introduction

The Native Staking Protocol is your key to generating passive income within the CrossFi ecosystem. It enables holders of the XFI token not only to store their assets but also to actively participate in the network, earning rewards and enhancing its security. In the CrossFi ecosystem, staking is implemented through the MPX token, which is used for delegation and participation in consensus. Thanks to the integration of EVM and Cosmos, it is now possible to use XFI as a staking asset: XFI is locked on the EVM side, after which the system automatically issues an equivalent amount of MPX and delegates it to a validator.

Why is this important for you? Staking XFI offers several advantages. First, it incentivizes holders to retain their tokens rather than sell them, thereby reducing market selling pressure and potentially supporting an increase in the XFI price over time. Second, by delegating tokens through the Native Staking Protocol, you help the network become more decentralized, increasing the overall share of independent validators. Control over staking shifts to the community instead of remaining solely in the hands of the CrossFi team, making the network more reliable and resilient. Finally, you receive rewards in XFI – the primary token of the network – effectively turning your assets into a source of stable income.

Why Stake XFI?

Generate steady rewards by participating in network consensus without active trading or complex strategies.

  • Earn XFI rewards for every block your validator creates
  • Benefit from compound interest through reinvestment
  • Minimum stake of just 50 XFI to get started

Protocol Fundamentals and CrossFi Architecture

The CrossFi ecosystem consists of two interconnected modules:

  • EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) — responsible for executing smart contracts (similar to Ethereum within CrossFi)
  • Cosmos SDK — ensures network consensus, high transaction speed, and validator management (the basis of the L1 network)

Each CrossFi user has two linked addresses: an EVM address (in the 0x… format, used, for example, in MetaMask) and a corresponding Cosmos address (in the mx1… format). This linked pair (often referred to as a twin address) combines the functionality of both modules for simple and efficient staking.

Roles of XFI and MPX Tokens

TokenPurposeCharacteristics
XFIPrimary liquid token for trading and rewards• Limited issuance
• Freely traded on exchanges
• Generated as validator rewards
MPXUtility token for Cosmos staking• Fixed value at $0.04
• Not traded publicly
• Issued automatically for delegation

MPX Issuance Formula

The amount of MPX issued for delegation is calculated as:

MPX = (Number of XFI × Current XFI Price in USD) / $0.04

Examples:

  • If XFI = 0.08,then1XFIyields2MPX(0.08, then 1 XFI yields 2 MPX (0.08 / $0.04 = 2)
  • If XFI = 0.40,then1XFIyields10MPX(0.40, then 1 XFI yields 10 MPX (0.40 / $0.04 = 10)

📥 Lock Your XFI

Begin your staking journey by locking a minimum of 50 XFI tokens.

  • Choose your staking amount (min. 50 XFI)
  • Select a validator or use a referral link
  • Confirm transaction via MetaMask
  • XFI gets locked, equivalent MPX is issued and delegated

Result: Your tokens start earning rewards immediately!


Twin Colossus Program

The Twin Colossus Program is a CrossFi initiative designed to redistribute MPX tokens in favor of independent validators and enhance overall network decentralization.

Program Phases

Token Burn for Balance

CrossFi preemptively burns a portion of its own MPX (e.g., 2 billion tokens) to balance stake ratios before the program starts.

Impact for Users

By staking XFI through validator referral links during Twin Colossus, you:

  • Support decentralization by helping independent validators
  • Improve network stability through increased competition
  • Potentially benefit from better staking conditions and lower fees

Security and Protection

Infrastructure Security

🔐 Smart Contract Security

  • Audited smart contracts
  • Wallet confirmation required
  • Automatic retry/revert on errors
  • Assets locked securely during staking

✅ Validator Selection

  • Nearly 100% uptime requirement
  • Significant personal stake required
  • Low fees for better returns
  • No slashing history

Slashing Protection

In the rare event of validator misconduct (which results in a 5% slashing penalty), the protocol:

  1. Automatically detects the slashing incident
  2. Re-stakes remaining MPX to a more reliable validator
  3. Compensates the 5% loss from CrossFi Treasury
  4. Notifies users about the incident and re-staking
  5. Restores full profitability in the next reward cycle

User Experience

The staking interface provides comprehensive information at a glance:
