Xai is an Arbitrum-based Layer-3 blockchain that uses a Proof-of-Skill system to reward gamers in XAI tokens based on in-game performance. By linking a Steam account to Xai Play, players automatically generate an abstracted crypto wallet and tokenize their achievements as NFTs, without needing prior Web3 knowledge.
