Description of the two stages
The XAI node ecosystem is divided into two main stages:
Phase 1: December 7, 2023 to April 17, 2024
The details of this phase are documented and described in "Part I" below. It mainly introduces how node supporters can run XAI nodes during this period. Although the scheme of Phase I still applies in Phase II, that is, nodes can continue to operate in the same way to earn rewards, it is not economical to do so. Community members will basically quickly switch to the new operation method because of the better mechanism of Phase II.
