[Proposal] XARB — A Community-Driven Arbitrage Token Backed by Real Yield

TL;DR

I propose launching $XARB, a token that captures and redistributes arbitrage profits generated between Xian and other networks (e.g., Solana). The token will be powered by a live, profitable bot and aims to provide real yield to holders while improving market efficiency on the Xian network.

I request:

  • 100,000 XIAN grant (bounty, operational, and vested team allocation)
  • 40,000 XIAN for arbitrage bot capital
  • 30,000 XIAN for strategically managed liquidity

Background

I’ve been part of the Xian community since the early Landem days. Recently, with the bridge to Solana up and running, I deployed an automated arbitrage bot that takes advantage of price discrepancies involving the Xian token.

The bot has proven to be profitable, while also serving an important function: keeping Xian’s price consistent across ecosystems.

This led to an idea: why not turn this into something that benefits the entire community?

What Is XARB?

$XARB is a token that:

  • Represents community ownership in an arbitrage-powered yield strategy
  • Receives value from arbitrage buybacks and burns
  • Distributes rewards to holders and ecosystem contributors
  • Is partially funded and endorsed by the core team

Requested Funding Breakdown (Total: 170,000 XIAN)

Category Amount (XIAN) Purpose
Team Allocation 100,000 40.000 with no lock-up, 60.000 yearly vested
Bot Capital 40,000 Used directly as arbitrage capital for cross-chain trades. Will be property of the XIAN DAO
Liquidity Bootstrap 30,000 Initial liquidity for $XARB/XIAN pool (added strategically)

How XARB Works

  • Live Arbitrage Bot: Already deployed, generating yield by exploiting price differences.
  • Buybacks & Rewards: Profits go toward regular $XARB buybacks and holder incentives.
  • LP Management: Liquidity added progressively to maximize price discovery and volume.
  • Airdrops: Randomized airdrops to prevent farming, aimed at top users of the Xian ecosystem.

Why This Matters for Xian

  • Efficient Cross-Chain Pricing: Arbitrage helps stabilize and sync Xian prices across networks.
  • Community Growth: Meme-ready, fair token with organic yield is a strong narrative for user acquisition.
  • Real Yield: A token that delivers value based on actual economic activity (not inflation).
  • Transparent: The arbitrage wallet will be fully visible and labeled on explorer.

Timeline

  • Week 1–2: Receive DAO approval, initial branding push
  • Month 1: Token generation, LP setup, bot capital deployed, rewards system live
  • Q2–Q4: Gradual LP expansion, randomized airdrops, transparent updates

Call to Action

I am asking the DAO to:
Approve a 100,000 XIAN grant to kickstart XARB
Allocate 40,000 XIAN as bot capital
Allocate 30,000 XIAN to bootstrap $XARB liquidity

I believe this is a high-leverage opportunity to:

  • Empower a long-time community builder
  • Launch a sustainable, self-funding token with real utility
  • Generate value and volume for Xian

Let’s build something that puts Xian at the center of the next wave of DeFi.

Discussion & feedback welcome.
Final vote to follow pending community input.

Thanks for putting together this detailed proposal.

I love the potential that this product has to deliver value back to $XARB holders as a function of market activity, growth and volatility.

I like it! Everything that involves the community is great and I think it makes total sense to have a token for this. I will happily support building this.
