XCAD Network is an innovative platform that aims to create a monetization model along with an NFT marketplace that can help both the content creator and viewers.
XCAD Network allows the YouTube content creator to mint their token as they hit milestones. They can use this token to reward their viewers. Creators can also mint unique NFTs that they can sell to their audience via fiat on-ramps. They will earn a passive income every time their NFT is traded.
Viewers can earn creator tokens and use them to trade, as well as stake in liquidity pools. They can trade their YouTuber NFTs. Creator token holders can also vote on the creator’s future content, video ideas, and other key decisions involving their channel.
The platform’s native token, XCAD, was initially launched on Ethereum as an ERC-20 asset and later migrated to Zilliqa. Apart from acting as a base currency, the token has multiple utilities in the XCAD Network. The token will be used for governance, staking, liquidity pools, and empowering content creators. It is currently available on Uniswap, QuickSwap, KuCoin, Gate.io, Pancakeswap, AscendEX, Hoo, and ZT platforms.
In addition, XCAD users will find themselves able to stake the XCAD tokens they own. They can also provide liquidity on the liquidity pool and can stake the LP tokens in the XCAD LP farm.
In this article, we will explain how you can stake your XCAD tokens and earn attractive rewards.
Altcoin Buzz has published a number of staking guides: Tezos (XTZ), Polkadot (DOT), Binance Coin (BNB), Solana (SOL), Graph ($GRT), and Near ($NEAR).
