The Pixa chain has one token, PIXA, in two forms, liquid and staked, and a second unit, PXS. This page says what each one is for, how you get it, and how it changes form.
The three units
| Unit | What it is | What it is for | How you get it |
|---|---|---|---|
| PIXA | The liquid token, with 3 decimals | Transfers; staking; converting to PXS; paying the account creation fee | Rewards paid when PXS printing is off; powering down; converting PXS; transfers |
| Pixa Power (PXP) | PIXA staked, held on chain as VESTS | Voting weight; Resource Credits; governance votes after 30 days; curation rewards | Powering up PIXA; author and curation rewards; delegation (borrowed, not owned) |
| PXS (Pixa Supra) | A second unit that promises no price, with 3 decimals | Part of author rewards; the currency the DPF pays in; the proposal fee; transfers; converting to PIXA | Author rewards; converting PIXA; transfers |
What PXS is not. PXS promises no price. It has no peg, cannot be redeemed for money and pays no interest, and no one stands behind its value. In one phrase, it is a Big Mac referenced supracoin. It converts into PIXA at the median of the witnesses' feeds, which reference one Big Mac, less a haircut if the network is stretched (rules). Its design, and how it runs today, start at PXS at a Glance.
Nothing pays you for holding. Holding PIXA, Pixa Power or PXS earns no interest and no share of issuance. Stake earns only by curating (Supply, Inflation and Yield).
How they change form
| From → to | Operation | Time | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| PIXA → Pixa Power | power up (transfer_to_vesting) |
Immediate; counts in governance after 30 days | none |
| Pixa Power → PIXA | power down (withdraw_vesting) |
13 weekly instalments, the first after 7 days | none |
| PXS → PIXA | convert |
3.5 days, at the median feed in force then | none; the haircut may reduce it |
| PIXA → PXS | collateralized_convert |
PXS at once; settles after 3.5 days | 5% fee; twice the value locked as collateral; refused if PXS would grow past its limit |
| PIXA or PXS | savings | Withdrawals take 3 days | none; no interest |
