Signatures

Post-quantum from the first block.

Every block is signed with Ed25519 and Dilithium3. Both must verify.

Native protocols

No arbitrary bytecode.

Contracts are 23 typed primitives the protocol defines. That rules out reentrancy and storage collisions.

Real-world assets

Alexandria

Every token is bound by hash to its legal document, with its own holder whitelist.

AI agents

ARI

A spend limit, a daily cap and a kill switch on every agent.

Groth16 proofs

Zero-knowledge

Prove a claim without showing the data behind it.

Markets

Swap

A constant-product DEX, with conditional orders.

New tokens

Launchpad

Launches on a bonding curve.

On-chain votes

Governance

A proposal passes on quorum and a majority of the stake cast.

Security

Audited by CertiK.

CertiK’s Skynet score and grade for the Xeris protocol
88 AA

CertiK reviewed three modules: consensus, cryptography, and contracts and networking. We closed every finding in code or with a written rationale, except dependency upgrades and the fee-model redesign CertiK advised, both deferred. The review is ongoing.

XRS

Emission capped at 500 million.

Mining, staking and attestation rewards all come from one fixed budget.
