00:00:14,230 --> 00:00:19,184
[HOST] Welcome to X1 Report, your source for the latest in blockchain news. Today, we're covering

2
00:00:19,184 --> 00:00:24,028
the resumption of feature gates on the X1 network, focusing on the activation of p-token

3
00:00:24,028 --> 00:00:25,899
and its impact on token transfers.

4
00:00:26,149 --> 00:00:32,175
[ANALYST] Nick Pettas of X1 Labs announced that the v4.0 feature gates are being activated one per

5
00:00:32,175 --> 00:00:36,283
epoch, with the first three gates now live as of October 15.

6
00:00:36,533 --> 00:00:41,911
[HOST] The first gate, vote_min_stake_1_xnt, requires at least 1 XNT of active stake for votes to

7
00:00:41,911 --> 00:00:46,453
count, ensuring that free vote transactions are tied to some level of stake.

8
00:00:46,703 --> 00:00:53,794
[ANALYST] The second gate, SIMD-0266, replaces the SPL Token program with p-token, significantly

9
00:00:53,794 --> 00:01:00,639
reducing compute usage. For example, a TransferChecked operation now uses about 110

10
00:01:00,639 --> 00:01:03,855
compute units compared to 6,200 before.

11
00:01:04,105 --> 00:01:09,272
[HOST] The third gate, SIMD-0312, allows creating an account where XNT already sits, simplifying

12
00:01:09,272 --> 00:01:14,323
the process and eliminating the need for separate transfer, allocate, and assign steps.

13
00:01:14,573 --> 00:01:21,654
[ANALYST] Each gate is recorded on the X1 mainnet as a feature account, with the activation times

14
00:01:21,654 --> 00:01:28,653
noted. The next steps include changes to BN254 syscalls, BLS12-381 syscalls, and more.

15
00:01:28,903 --> 00:01:34,584
[HOST] Among these, the Stake program v5 raises the minimum stake delegation to 1 XNT, affecting

16
00:01:34,584 --> 00:01:37,010
new delegations but not existing ones.

17
00:01:37,260 --> 00:01:41,969
[ANALYST] Developers are also advised to test their programs on the testnet for the syscall

18
00:01:41,969 --> 00:01:46,620
parameter address restrictions, which tighten the rules on where syscall and CPI

19
00:01:46,620 --> 00:01:47,841
parameters may point.

20
00:01:48,091 --> 00:01:52,783
[HOST] The delayed commission updates will take effect one full epoch later, giving delegators

21
00:01:52,783 --> 00:01:54,939
more stability in validator commissions.

22
00:01:55,189 --> 00:02:00,637
[ANALYST] Pettas has stated that each remaining step will be activated one per epoch, with the last

23
00:02:00,637 --> 00:02:05,963
gate potentially landing about eight epochs after FG 03, a little over a week from now.

24
00:02:06,213 --> 00:02:11,331
[HOST] For more details on these changes and their implications, check out our in-depth coverage

25
00:02:11,331 --> 00:02:12,826
of the v4.0 feature gates.

26
00:02:13,076 --> 00:02:18,598
[ANALYST] These updates are part of X1 Labs' ongoing efforts to optimize the network and improve

27
00:02:18,598 --> 00:02:19,625
user experience.

28
00:02:19,875 --> 00:02:24,909
