- $XNET is used to reward the node operators and validators who are creating and securing the network by their participation. $XNET are also the only way to create $XNETD, by burning of the former.
- $XNETD is the on-chain payment/accounting system for data on the XNET network. Burning $XNETD is the only way to pay for XNET data/voice services.

For users to use the network, $XNET need to be burned to create $XNETD, which are time and region-bound token. $XNETD have among other things different value depending on the different metrics (including demand) of the region they are burned to be used in. This ensures that people will keep buying and burning $XNET over time.
MNOs can also buy connectivity or data from the network in FIAT. 40% of this amount will be used to buy & burn $XNET, effectively distributing the revenue to holders.

Individuals or professionals can purchase a node or become validators and build/secure this network. The specificities of this DeWi network (full-voice service, limited purchasing to specific regions & strong centralization) allow the protocol to link itself more easily to legacy telecom operators and thereby bring in more demand for its service.
Over time, the goal of the protocol is to expand the network and reach currently badly covered regions (partly through its foundation pool).

$XNET are emitted and allocated across the network to reward actors or incentivize different pools (see Deep Dive section).
To each region and demand zone, XNET assigns a demand price, ie cost in $XNETD to put data on the network. This price in $XNETD is proportional to the rewards paid for connectivity mining in that zone. In short, the more demand there is, the more reward there will be for nodes; and also the more valuable the data can be for legacy MNOs to buy.

XNET receives money from legacy Mobile Network Operators wishing to purchase data/connectivity from the XNET network for themselves or their customers. In fine, XNET intends to become an MNO as well and have users pay them to use the network.
$XNET are mined by node operators and validators who build and secure the network and they are distributed to different pools (see Deep Dive section).
To use the network, $XNET needs to be burned, which creates deflationary pressure on the token.
