The Munich release introduced a working pNode prototype for hosting.txt files on Xandeum’s storage layer. This update also covers Herrenberg development, the pNode Dutch Auction, and planned work on storage-enabled applications.
Munich Release
The Munich release, the first of the South Era, delivered a working pNode prototype that enabled hosting.txt files on Xandeum’s storage layer. The updated XandMiner GUI now displays basic pNode statistics, offering operators more visibility into performance and network health through the Xandeum Pod software.
Herrenberg Release: Search Capabilities on the Horizon
Building on Munich, the Herrenberg release was planned to add early search capabilities to the storage layer. This feature was intended to help users query and retrieve data more efficiently and improve the functionality of sedApps, or storage-enabled dApps.
pNode Dutch Auction: Boost Your STOINC
The pNode Dutch Auction was planned for Deep South Era pNodes, with NFTs acting as inputs to Storage Income (STOINC) boost calculations. As detailed in the STOINC page, STOINC estimates are based on factors such as pNodes, storage, performance, staked XAND, assigned NFTs, and protocol parameters. Each pNode first receives its own pNode Boost Factor by multiplying the boost multipliers of NFTs assigned to that specific pNode. Wallet/operator-level aggregation is handled by the final backend/protocol implementation and should not be treated as a confirmed aggregation formula unless separately confirmed. Review the current formula guidance at Xandeum.network/stoinc before making decisions.
Storage-Enabled Application Work
The team was also exploring storage-enabled application work related to large language models and verifiable data. Details were limited at the time, but the purpose was to show how Xandeum storage could support applications that need large, updateable datasets.
