What’s in the stack
Launching
Permissionless drops: three phases (guaranteed, first come, public), the Xholder reserve, on-chain allowlists, the generator, and a commit-first reveal.
Marketplace
Fixed-price listings, individual offers, collection-wide bids. Royalties enforced on-chain at settlement, pull-based proceeds.
Circles
On-chain storage per collection holding artwork, metadata and trait layers, addressed as
oct://. No IPFS and no pinning service.Provenance
A hash committed on-chain before mint, re-derivable from public data. Tampering leaves permanent, machine-checkable evidence.
What makes it different
Formally verified, not only audited. Every contract in the stack carries a machine-checked verification certificate: XNS-1, Xcollection, Xmarket, Xlist, and the factory. What the contract does is what the certificate says it does. Permissionless by construction. A full collection deploys from your own wallet in a single transaction at a flat fee. Nobody approves it, and Xpectrum holds no admin key over it afterwards. The chain holds the assets. Collections live in Octra circles: artwork, metadata, and trait layers,oct:// all the way down. No IPFS and no pinning service, so there is nothing to keep paying for to stop the art disappearing. Generative collections store the layers rather than baked images, and tokens are composited from chain state.
Rendering is a view of state. Once that is true, an image is only the first render type. A token whose content is a running program has the same shape as one whose content is a PNG, and the standard does not have to change to carry it.
Build on Xpectrum
XNS-1 Standard
The token interface for Octra. Implement it and your contract trades on Xmarket out of the box.
xpress
The open launch engine. Validate, generate, hash, deploy, and verify a collection from the command line.
Status
Live on Octra mainnet. Collect and trade at app.xpectrum.xyz. Launch and build at creators.xpectrum.xyz.Transactions on mainnet spend real OCT and are final. Check which network your wallet is connected to before minting or trading.
