What XION is
XION is a proof-of-stake Layer-1 blockchain, currently ranked 541st by market capitalization among the assets we track. XION is its own settlement layer. Smart contracts run on top of it, fees are paid in XION, and the security model rests on validators bonding the token rather than burning energy to mine it.
XION (XION) is a digital asset designed to facilitate transactions within the XION platform, focusing on providing a seamless payment experience. It aims to bridge the gap between traditional finance and blockchain technology.
How consensus and the token economy connect
Validators propose and attest to blocks; honest behavior earns rewards, dishonest behavior burns the stake. That feedback loop is what lets XION finalize transactions without miners.
Background & fundamentals
The project publishes a whitepaper documenting its original design, which is worth reading before sizing any position in XION. In sector terms it is most often filed under Smart Contracts and Layer 1 (L1).
Where XION sits in the market
Trading around $0.1338, XION carries a market capitalization of $4.77M. Around $3.00M changes hands across exchanges in a typical 24-hour window. That is a turnover of about 62.78% of the float — unusually high, the kind of churn that accompanies major news or speculative spikes.
Almost the entire XION supply is already in circulation (~100.0% of the 200M cap), so future dilution is effectively off the table. XION remains -92% beneath its all-time high of $1.73, the kind of gap that historically takes a full cycle or a fresh catalyst to close. Measured from its all-time low of $0.0899, XION is up +49%.
What the price history shows
Across timeframes, XION shows 24-hour +14.65%, 7-day +19.91%.
Volatility profile
Recent action puts XION in the Extreme-volatility band — it is in a high-volatility regime — these are the conditions where outsized gains and losses both become more likely.
How to evaluate XION
The honest checklist for XION is short:
- Real usage — active addresses, fees paid, and total value locked — does on-chain demand justify the valuation?
- Staking economics — the share of XION staked, the yield, and unlock/queue dynamics that govern liquid supply.
- Ecosystem depth — how many applications and how much liquidity have chosen XION over competing Layer-1s.
