Learn XPR

Start here: a wallet and an account

Everything on XPR Network happens from a WebAuth wallet (webauth.com). You pick an account name, up to 12 characters using letters a-z and digits 1-5, and that name IS your identity on-chain: it holds your coins, your NFTs, and signs everything you do.

Two honest sentences about custody: your keys control the account, and nobody can reset them for you. Back them up like they're money, because they are.

Where things trade

soon.market is the NFT marketplace. Every collection in LoFi Records trades there. Alcor Exchange is the token DEX, where swaps happen wallet-to-chain with no middleman holding funds. Swapping is three moves: connect WebAuth, pick your pair, confirm. Adding liquidity means depositing two tokens into a shared pool so others can swap between them; the pool pays you a cut of its trading fees.

A liquidity deposit's value moves with both tokens' prices, up or down. Fees are the reward for carrying that risk.

Launch a token from zero

Before any tool: decide your symbol (1-7 capital letters), precision (decimal places; 4 is the XPR standard), and max supply. These get locked on-chain forever the moment the token is created, so pick like it's a tattoo. Then choose your path:

Picking numbers: precision 4 is the network standard and plays nice everywhere. Supply is vibes plus math; a meme with billions of units feels different from one with thousands, and neither is wrong. What IS wrong is planning to change it later, because you cannot.

Get it trading on Alcor

A token nobody can buy is a group chat. On Alcor you (or anyone) can open a liquidity pool for your token against XPR: deposit both sides, some of your token and some XPR, and from that moment anyone on the network can swap in and out. The pool's starting ratio sets the starting price, so think that through before seeding.

1. 1Open the poolOn Alcor, create the pair for your token + XPR.
2. 2Seed both sidesDeposit the two tokens. More depth means less wild price movement per trade.
3. 3Tell peopleRegistered metadata (name + logo from the launch steps) is what makes your token look legit in the swap list. From here it's a community game, not a code game.

Honesty box: seeding a pool exposes you to both tokens' prices, and thin pools move violently. That's not a bug in Alcor, it's how AMMs work. Read their docs before going big.

Two kinds of trading live on Alcor. Pools (the AMM) are the meme-coin default: always-on swapping against deposited liquidity. Orderbook markets are the classic bid-and-ask style, better for pairs with steady traffic. Most new tokens start with a pool and let the orderbook come later, if ever.

NFTs 101: how XPR NFTs are built

Every NFT on XPR lives in the AtomicAssets system, which stacks like this:

1. 1CollectionThe brand. Holds the display name, description, website, logo, and the royalty fee you earn on every secondary sale (set it at creation; LoFi Boombox Club runs 6%).
2. 2SchemaThe attribute blueprint: which fields your NFTs carry (name, img, and anything else; our boombox schema even has an audio field).
3. 3TemplateA stamp for one design: fixed art + attributes, with a max supply per template (1 for true 1/1s).
4. 4AssetThe actual NFT someone owns, minted from a template into a wallet.

Art lives on IPFS and the NFT stores its content ID. Pin the file with an IPFS pinning service so it stays reachable forever; a CID nobody hosts is a receipt for nothing.

Editions strategy: max supply 1 per template makes true 1/1s (that's the whole LoFi OG wall). Bigger per-template supplies make editions, cheaper to collect and easier to drop in volume. Both are legit; decide before minting, because template supply caps are also permanent.

Mint & sell on soon.market

1. 1Create your collection, schema, and templatessoon.market's creator tools (and community) will walk you through it, or a builder can talk to the atomicassets contract directly. Either way you're filling in the exact structure from NFTs 101 above.
2. 2MintStamp assets from your templates into your wallet, or straight to holders for a drop.
3. 3List, auction, or holdFixed-price listings and auctions both live on soon.market. Buyers pay in XPR or other supported currencies, and your collection royalty pays you on every future resale.
4. 4Fees, honestlyThree cuts exist on a sale: the marketplace's cut, the maker/taker fees the market contract itself reports (currently about 1% a side; live value in its config), and your own collection royalty. Price accordingly.

Costs & resources, in plain words

1. 1RAM is on-chain storage you buyContracts and table rows live in RAM. The standard token contract wants roughly 200KB, which the builder-mode steps buy up front. You pay in XPR and can sell unused RAM back.
2. 2CPU and NET mostly take care of themselvesThey meter transaction processing. For normal wallet use on XPR you will rarely think about them; builders deploying contracts occasionally will.
3. 3What a launch really costsSome XPR for RAM, wherever you host your art and logo, and whatever you choose to seed the liquidity pool with. The pool seed is the real number to think hard about, because it is money parked at market risk, not a fee.

Resource prices float with the market, so we keep numbers off this page. Check explorer.xprnetwork.org for live RAM pricing before you buy.

Quick answers

Safety corner

1. 1Keys never leave your sideNo legit tool, admin, or helpful stranger needs your private key or seed phrase. Keys go into wallet prompts and CLI keystores only. Pasted a key somewhere weird? Treat it as burned and rotate.
2. 2Check the contract, not the tickerAnyone can create a token with any symbol, and scam duplicates of real tickers exist on this network today. A token is contract + symbol together, which is exactly how our research desk matches them.
3. 3Permanent means permanentToken create locks symbol, precision, and supply. Collection royalties and on-chain names stick. Read twice, sign once.
4. 4Size your funMeme coins and NFTs are volatile, and this whole page is education, not financial advice. Play with what you can afford to lose and it stays fun.
