XAH

Xahau (XAH) is a smart contract sidechain built to extend the functionality of the XRP Ledger (XRPL) ecosystem. It introduces a novel feature called "Hooks," which are small, customizable code snippets embedded within Xahau accounts. These Hooks enable smart contract capabilities by allowing transactions to be validated against predefined rules, ensuring secure and automated execution. XAH, the native currency of the Xahau network, serves as a utility token essential for accessing network services and powering smart contract computations. Transaction fees, dynamically calculated based on the complexity of Hook transactions, are paid in XAH to safeguard the ledger against spam and ensure efficient processing. The Xahau ecosystem also features the Genesis Hook Governance Game, a decentralized mechanism designed to manage the emission and allocation of XAH, incentivizing active participation and promoting long-term sustainability. Xahau provides developers with a robust platform to build and deploy smart contracts while leveraging the inherent security and efficiency of the XRPL.
